Granola -- Annette Pierce

Annette says: Kids like it better before it's baked, but it's better cereal and stores better after baking.

Melt together in a large pan:
1 c. honey
1 c. oil or shortening

Remove from heat. Add and mix in:
1 t. salt

Then add:
1 c. powdered milk
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. wheat germ
5-6 c. oatmeal

Oatmeal should be fairly well coated, but it will be lumpy. Spread mixture 3/4 - 1 inch deep in shallow pan. Break up larger chunks.

Bake at 250ยบ for half an hour. Don't overcook! If you want cereal, break up larger chunks again and store.

Optional ingredients:
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 c. coconut
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. nuts
1/2 c. sesame seeds
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
1/2 t. cinnamon -- add when salt is mixed in. This is the only optional Annette usually includes.
