Title: Cyndi O'Meara All-purpose flour
Post by: Sim on September 30, 2009, 06:47:59 am

My sister has Cyndi's cookbook and I thought she said there was a recipe in it for 'all-purpose' flour that could be used as a substitute for plain flour. It combined several different types of non-wheat flour.

I can't get hold of her at the moment, so I thought I would ask if anyone on here has this recipe?

Does this recipe exist? I could be imagining things.

... and the good thing about the TMX is that you can make the besan flour from dried chickpeas in a minute !! - don't need extra flours in the cupboard.

Since I discovered 11 flours in my pantry, I thought I should use them up and this seems to be a good way. I have about 2kg of besan! The only one I don't have is potato flour, too bad I can't grind up some potatoes for that. lol

Is Maize flour corn flour?

I used Corn flour (proper corn flour made from corn not the other stuff they call corn flour lol) for the maize as I presumed that was what it was. Hope I was right.  :o

I think for the Maize flour you can just mill polenta

Could I mill popcorn?

Might be OK - I must admit that I bought some popping corn to mill but haven't tried yet.  Was hoping to make grits.

Anybody tried milling pop-corn before it's popped?

Yes, I have. Took popcorn, put it n the Tm and ground it on high speed for a little while - don't know speed and time but remember it took quite a while (3 mins maybe) and was ground fine.

Our maize flour in the health food store is yellow.. so ground polenta.. corn flour (from corn) is white.  They are side by side in our bulk bins. :)

No, only after it's popped. 50 grams fit in the TMX bowl, milled for 40 sec / speed 10. It looks like saw dust. Seran wrap between the lid and cup is recommended  ;D
