Mighty Fine Waffles.

Similar to the pancakes but slightly different, this is a delicious way to start your day!!
My son often on Sunday wakes up and when asked what he wants will say waffles, and it's a quick echo around the house that that is the food of choice.

2 cups of Mighty Fine Flour
2 tsp. baking powder.
6 eggs
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of oil (2 tbs oil and 2 tbs flax seed.)

Mix dry ingredients.
Add all the wet ingredients and stir.

Your waffle mixture is ready! Enjoy!

After done cooking enjoy this with peanut butter, applesauce, strawberry rhubarb sauce, etc. So many delicious things to enjoy with waffles.

A Dessert for the Fall.

Apple Crisp

This particular recipe is a family heirloom from my adorable wife's family. It originally had oats, but she substitutes for those with Quinoa flakes, and almond slices.

Slice and peel apples and place in the bottom of baking dish. Shake sugar and cinnamon over apples.
Blend
 1/2 cup Mighty Fine Flour.
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
Add to the blend
3/4 Quinoa, and almond slices.
Cover the apples with the blend.
Bake 350 degrees, for about 40 min, or until golden brown.

We often enjoy this dessert with vanilla ice cream

This dessert is a favorite for special events in the fall including birthdays, anniversaries, remodeling completion, parties, and just because!

Can you make chocolate cake in a blender?

It may seem strange but yes. The best chocolate cake I have eaten in years, perhaps even my whole life is made in a blender!  My adorable wife found a recipe for a Quinoa Chocolate cake in the book Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood   It is moist and rich and smooth. 

It is also very good with some vanilla ice cream which compliments the cake quite well. If your a Black Forest fan then put some cherry pie filling on top.

Pigs on Pillows

My adorable wife made an incredible casual lunch recently! It was a cornmeal muffins with hot dogs snuggled into the top.  .  This was like coming home to an old friend.

She uses Bob's Red Mill cornbread mix, places it in a muffin tin and then pushes a hot dog across the top.

Mighty Fine Flour Updated

I have found the commercially available GF flours are getting better. I actually had one I prefered to my MFF mix recently (it had better texture) . So I decided it was time to try to improve.  This morning I made a batch with just a small tweak. I added a little more white rice flour.  It did improve the texture.

• 3 cups brown rice flour
• 1 cup white rice flour
• 1/4 cup soy flour
• 1 1/3 cup nonfat milk powder, I prefer the non instant variety.
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Add all the ingredients to a large mixing bowl, about 4 quarts, Mix thoroughly.

I usually double this recipe because that is what fits in my flour canister. I have also made it smaller batches but then it is harder to get the proportion's right.

Coconut Pancakes

My daughter who does not need to eat GF believes that these are the best pancakes ever...
I think my wife and I prefer buckwheat pancakes.  They are both very good.

2 Cups Mighty Fine Flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1 Tablespoon Flax Seed (optional)

1/4 Cup Unsweetened coconut flakes

2 Cups Water

1/2 Cup Oil ( I typically use canola oil)

4 Eggs


Mix dry ingredients, add oil, eggs, and water.  Cook on medium - medium high heat, Turn when bubbles begin break on the top.   If you like a thick pancake reduce the water.
