Re: Freshly ground nuts versus bought nut flour

[Guest guest]

I bought pecan flour and it was REALLY bad. I have ground my own

and it is REALLY good. The almond flour I buy because I have not

been able to find blanched almonds that are price wise buyable. I

do my own cashew also as I have found a good source for them and

they are easy..

Patty,

I only make one waffle. The original recipe is in BTVC as Deanna's Midas Gold.

and the full

recipe makes six waffles. I forgot to say I add a little vanilla and honey to

the batter. I also

made the waffle using peanut butter instead of pecans sometimes and didn't even

measure just took a big scoop of PB with a tablespoon. It was excellent but

cooked very

fast. I have made the waffles without adding sweet stuff and broiled some cheese

on the

finished waffle and topped it with bacon. I have also made sandwishes with them.

When I made it it was the perfect amount for 2 waffles. My waffle

iron makes regular square waffles that you can then break into wavy

waffle sticks...thought it would be useful since Wes likes the eggo

minis...the sticks seemed like a fun shape, but....oh well. At least

I have a waffle iron now.
