Home made bors

I grow up in a time when in each house the bors was made at home. Now I don't think that is made at home anymore, maybe only by some grandma or aunt that remembers the recipe. Now every thing comes from the supermarket.
I had the chance to live outside the country for a good period of time, and in this contry the bors doesn't exist, different traditions and culture, but I wanna cook like home. So I had to make my on bors, I found in a local store corn semolina and wheat bran, with the lovage was hard but my mom put in my bags some dry one so I manage with that.
For more information on this bors I let the wiki link so you can find more info on this.
