Freshly ground nuts versus bought nut flour

[Guest guest]

I made the waffle recipe (below). It was really good - I first ate a

bite plain and then put jam on it. It was so good I wanted another one.

So I made it, but this time I used pecan flour. I first ate a bit of

this one plain also, before putting jam on it. Interestingly, the one

made using the pecan flour was much more bitter.

The pecan flour that I have is not old - it is less than 2 months old and

has been in either my frig or freezer the whole time. It is from

Digestive Wellness. It does NOT smell rancid.

The nuts that I used are older - maybe as much as 5 months old.

So, are products made with freshly ground nuts naturally sweeter?

The taste of the nut flour might be a factor for parents of picky eaters.

The first waffle, with the freshly ground nuts, I could have eaten

plain. The second one, with the pecan flour, I was trying to cover up

the taste with the jam.

Would someone or a few people try this experiment and see if they got the

same results?

Wow, I had the best waffle for breakfast.

1/4 cup pecans

1 extra large egg

1/4 tsp baking SODA

Mix with hand blender. Spray waffle iron with oil and preheat. Make sure

waffle is well

done so it will be crisp! I have an older Cusinart Belgian Waffle maker

and it is reliable.

Top that waffle with butter and/or heated strawberries with honey, and

sweetened dripped

yougurt, a side of crisp bacon or SCD sausage and Oh mama what a

breakfast.

You could also try putting prepared waffles in a low oven for a couple of

hours and crisp

them.
