These were very good. I toasted the flour and used brown butter also added cinnamon, cardamom, little nutmeg and a touch of lemon to brighten the flavors. Excellent!

I have found that, if anything, […]

At the time, I tried to eliminate what I called ‘the toasting problem’, but I do remember that my husband’s work colleagues loved the caramel taste that the heat-treated flour gave to the cakes!

And like so many others, my mind is reeling from the prospect of toasted flour livening up old favorite recipes.

If you have ever seen her show, “Secrets of a Restaurant Chef” she always says, “Brown equals flavor!!” Interesting idea to toast the flour.

am thinking i may need to give this a go with the pomegranate buttercream. or caramel buttercream. or or or…

I wish I could have tried that!! I guess I will just have to bake my own.

It still is. I would love to try these! I just made a big batch of meyer lemon curd and am thinking a pate brisee crust with toasted flour would be lovely filled with the curd.

I love the side-by-side comparison of toasted and untoasted flour. These look lovely!

I toasted some flour for a chocolate chip cake I baked today.. HEAVEN! Seriously, the batter was SO good, I almost ended up eating all of the batter raw 🙂

My fiance makes some really amazing smoked-flour chocolate chip cookies– he smokes it in a makeshift smoker over a fire in our back yard.

I am definitely giving these a try!

The turbinado sugar is just for coating the outside of the cookie log. You don’t need it but it does add a nice crunch as it is a course sugar with deep caramel and molasses flavor.
