Brilliant, just the answers I was hoping for!

I cant wait now to get on milling my own flour. It seems to be a dying hobby in the UK, or at least no one writes about it much on the net. In America, the grain mills seem to be as popular as processors.

I really wanted a Nutrimill one as they seem really good, but dont seem to be available in the UK. Im going for an attachment for my kenwood.

I love cheese sauces and yorks puds, so its great news I can make them with wholemeal, hurry up mothers day! :j

I make tortillas with wholemeal and they are great. I do use a bit of wholemeal and white for pastry though. Will try all wholemeal this week. Pie on wednesday.

It may be a little heavy for yorkshires, they may not rise as much, but give it a go, you could allways use half and half and a little extra baking powder?

Own flour that is getting posh.

I use 2 eggs to 4 oz of plain flour in my Yorkshire batter - added eggs seem to be the thing that makes them light.........

Well I have to say that being a yorkshire lass im pretty good at yorks puds but its going to be a real challenge using freshly milled flour!

My different wheats have arrived so I cant wait to get going on the flour making front. Trouble is, now I want a flaker to make my own porrige oats..... money saving...... I spend a fortune going back to basics lol :rotfl:

I've used wholemeal flour to make sauces etc, sieved it first but it doesn't really matter though.

Although I cant have my grain mill until Mothers day, I decided I couldnt wait so I ground up some wheat in my coffee grinder and made a cheese sauce.

First thought was I wish I had sieved it because the coffee grinder couldnt do really small particles so the bran made a very speckly sauce. Hopefully this will be better with my mill.

Apart from that though it made a nice sauce, not one for delicate food as it was very 'hearty' I am pleased with the results and happy that I will be able to use the wholegrain flour and its another area that I can cut out white flour.

Thanks for the replies guys :-)
