Einkorn Waffles and Pancake Mix

by ladypbwiggins

This mix is a blend of Einkorn flour, brown rice flour, Amaranth, Tapioca flour,Sorghum flour and Garbanzo(Chickpea) flour.

My first try was edible and that’s all I can really say about that. I left iut the syrup and the vanilla flavoring. You wouldn’t think that would matter but it did. The vanilla, not so much but the removal of the sweetener was a mistake. Because I’m vegan I used E-nerG egg substitute. I didn’t let it sit long enough before i used it.

On my next try, I used blue agave sweetener and I allowed the egg substitute to fully complete its transformation.

The batter was a little thicker than I like but the waffles were much better. I will try again using the egg replacement equivalent of 2 eggs and I may add a little more milk if needed. The Einkorn really absorbs the liquid. I will keep you posted.

Gary’s True Grit Einkorn Flour

by ladypbwiggins

What the heck is Einkorn flour? According to The Young Living Cookbook, “Einkorn is the original “staff of life” grain, dating back to the beginning of agriculture. This grain is unhybridized and has a low gluten level. It is higher in protein, phosphorous, potassium and vitamin B6, twice as much vitamin A, 4 times more beta carotene and lutein and 5 times more riboflavin than our modern wheat grain.

That all sounds good but what does it taste like? Many of us had trouble going from white flour to 100% whole wheat. Is this going to be difficult? Like any other product you have know their properties and might have to make some cooking, taste and mouth-feel adjustments. In the next few posts I will share my experiences with this ancient grain.
