The truth is, they intimidate me. I stand in the specialty flour section, looking at the bags, then grab my bag of good ol' unbleached all-purpose, go home and make cookies.
Happily, I received this book:
Good to the Grain: Baking with Whole-Grain Flours
The book is divided up by grain, such as:
- whole-wheat flour
- amaranth flour
- barley flour
- buckwheat flour
- and 8 more...
{I didn't know Muesli could do that.}
You can win one for your very own!!! Just keep reading!
I made Pear and Buckwheat Pancakes; they were fluffy and delicious! And, I felt so GOOD eating them...even with a side of bacon! ;)
Pear and Buckwheat Pancakes
{from Good to the Grain}
Dry Mix:
1 c. buckwheat flour
1 c. whole-grain pastry flour (I used unbleached, all-purpose; Kim says that's OK.)
3 TBSP sugar
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
Wet Mix:
2 TBSP unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 & 1/4 c. whole milk
1 egg
2 medium ripe pears
Finish:
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/2 c. honey
Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl.
Whisk the melted butter, milk and egg until thoroughly combined.
Peel the pears. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the whole, peeled pears into the milk mixture. The pear juice should fall into the milk along with the grated pears.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently combine with a rubber spatula.
Meanwhile, melt the butter & honey together in a small saucepan and cook until boiling, emulsified and slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour honey butter into a serving pitcher and keep warm.
Heat a cast iron pan or griddle over medium heat until water sizzles when splashed on the pan. Rub the pan generously with butter. Working quickly, dollop 1/4 cup mounds of batter onto the pan.
Once bubbles have begun to form, flip and cook until bottoms are golden brown.
Wipe the pan with a cloth before the next batch and rub the pan with butter again.
Serve the pancakes hot with the pitcher of honey butter.
I think this cookbook has opened a whole new world of possibilities in my baking.
{But, never fear, I'm not giving up my all-purpose!}

ReplyDeleteMy father LOVES buckwheat anything and though I try to incorporate wheat into numerous recipes, sometimes I don't know how to correctly 'tweak' the recipe to make it come out the best. Would love to perfect it!
ReplyDeleteI've tried using King Arthur White Wheat flour, but I still need to tweak the amount. My rolls came out quite dry. I love wheat bread; I just need to find the right recipe for me.
ReplyDeleteI was using whole wheat pastry flour all the time, then I stopped - but I had some left and made some blondes...turns out whole wheat pastry flour goes rancid pretty fast and needs to be kept in the fridge - oops!
ReplyDeletefirst i would have to say our next purchase will be a grain mill. then i can answer that question. we make our bread with half whole wheat and half bread flour
ReplyDeleteis it twittered or tweeted, either way i did it

ReplyDeleteWhite Whole Wheat Flour from King Arthur (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/king-arthur-white-whole-wheat-flour-5-lb) is my favorite!! Easy to use, not real noticeable in recipes, and healthy. Yay!
ReplyDeleteThe cookbook looks delicious! I'd like to try baking with other flours, but I so far haven't been brave enough to buy any :)
I have actually made Spelt bread and it was very tasty. I currently have unopened bags of both Spelt and Whole Wheat flour in my pantry. I have never made anything with whole wheat but I want to. So, I figured if I buy it the recipe, time and inspiration will come.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this is the little push I need...
I use whole wheat flour regularly. I've used rye. I'd love to try buckwheat. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI actually have never used a specialty flour that I can think. I used a whole wheat pancake batter once...my Mom bought it for me. I am open to all kinds of new things though, and would LOVE to win this cookbook!

ReplyDeleteI love buckwheat flour! I also like my whole wheat flour that I use in pretty much everything :D
ReplyDeleteThese pancakes look delicious!
I used whole wheat flour all the time and love it, but that's about the most adventurous I've gotten with flour. I'm intimidated by other flours. That being said I'd love to conquer that fear - Multi grain flour would be top of my to-try list, along with buckwheat.
ReplyDeleteI *love* baking with whole grains... and those pancakes look amazing! What a fun book.
ReplyDeletePS - I tweeted about your giveaway, too! (@JenSchall, but you knew that)

ReplyDeleteI would quite honestly try any of them. It's always nice to mix things up and being healthier is something I would love
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy figuring out how to use any kind of whole grain flour to make yummy treats!! But since I love barley, I would probably try barley flour first.

i'm intrigued by coconut flour. also, your pancakes look absolutely delicious--thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love baking with whole wheat and often add in bran, oat bran, sesame seeds, flax seeds, ground flax... that is NOT to say that it all turns out. But my pizza dough is pretty tasty. I have been wanting a good whole grain cookbook for years!! Does this one address gluten-free grains at all? Great giveaway! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI use Pillsbury or Gold Medal and I'm satisfied with the results. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to really start cooking with any other flour besides white. I tried a whole wheat once, but really didn't get into it much. I guess you could say I eased into it by typically going 50/50. Would love recipes that actually call for some other than white!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know what kind of recipes use almond flour or rice flour. The cookbook looks great! Thanks for posting the buckwheat pancake recipe. They are so fluffy!
ReplyDeleteyummm that looks incredible! I've always wanted to work with Quinoa flour

ReplyDeleteBuckwheat flour is so good! I would love to try new things. And cookbooks! Oh yeah, with pictures? My favorite..
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have tried white whole wheat, with good success, and JUST BOUGHT some buckwheat flour (with healthier flour alternatives in mind) but his pancakes got poor reviews from our kids...So I cant wait to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteWe try to use WW flour as much as we can - and I'm going to start using White Hard Wheat because it's a little easier to use in baking but is supposed to be the same nutrionally.
ReplyDeleteWe grind our own wheat (and hope to get a better grinder soon) - ground wheat loses its nutrients fairly quickly, so I like to use it fresh ground...I'd also REALLY like to win this book!
Sweet Bridget!
ReplyDeleteGirl...it took me forever to get down to where I could comment!
Oh how EVERYONE adores Bake @ 350!!
Well now...let me see...now that I finally got down here to comment...I think I'll stay awhile! ;o)

And all I have to say..is be still my HONEY loving soul!!!!
Oh how glorious to hear you speak of a PITCHER of honey butter to pour over these luxious pancakes! Mmmmmmm!
As for flour...
I like you have always felt intimidated as I stand in front of the FLOUR bin at the market!
I so want to be HIP and EARTHY and ORGANIC and scoop my special flour out of the bins...but I'm just lost! I thought I was in THE BIG LEAGUE when I started buying UNBLEACHED flour!!!!
Now I have experimented with the flax seed...but that's not flour. We put it in our yougart and Greg said he felt like he was eating bird seed...I said...eat it up...it's HEALTHY!!!! ;o)
And as for that MUESLI!!!!
Oh how I fell in love with MUESLI in England and in Switzerland! Once we stayed in the Moors of England...in a stone cottage...and the caretaker of the little cottage brought us HOMEMADE MUESLI every morning with FRESH from the cow MILK!!!
Oh...this was some kind of GOOD!
I would ADORE winning this cookbook! I would love to venture out and experiment with new flours!!! xxooxx
And if I knew how the ____ to TWEET...I would tweet my little heart out for you Sweet Bridget! xoxoxox ;o)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I always use half whole wheat flour and am just starting to use barley flour!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this cookbook!
ReplyDeleteIve just started using alternative flours--in my dog treats. Ive had so many requests for treats for dogs with wheat allergies that I knew it was time to come up with something. Being a self-taught baker, it was my first real lesson in the chemistry of baking-learning what using gluten free flours do during the baking process.
ReplyDeleteI just finished developing a recipe using barley flour, rice flour, soy flour and oat flour-and it turned out great.
Buckwheat is on my list to master in savoury baking. This book would be a great help.
