I don't understand enough about flours to really "get it" but here are a couple links: http://www.seriouseats.com/talk/2007/11/whole-wheat-flour-vs-whole-wheat-pastry-flour.html http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/550281 Basically, the pastry flour bakes up lighter, and works well in cakes and cookies. But not yeast breads. Amy, I just googled it, and it has something to do with protein and gluten. I don’t understand enough about flours to really “get it” but here are a couple links:

This really works great. Here's another w/o dry milk: Heat 1 can evaporated milk with 1 1/4 cup sugar until dissolved. I wonder if you could make either one work with alternative sweeteners. At least this gives you a starting point for quantities.

Sweetened Condensed Milk is milk and sugar, basically. I use it with unsweetened chocolate to make hot fudge sauce for ice cream. I probably would prefer not to make granola bars with it. I'd rather sweeten them with honey or the unrefined sugars. And thanks, girl. No, no shred. Haven't done it since vaca. Waiting till kids go back to school and hoping to get back on the wagon then.
