Notes
When using the Kitchen Mill: Add wheat berries and popcorn kernels to Kitchen Mill, and grind into flour. Follow the rest of the instructions as stated.
I’d love to know the answer as well!
Yeah, same here. I dont understand why we have to use the Mill. We bought the regular blendtec because it says it can grind grains, and its the all in one machine, so why the need for the mill? I think you are just trying to find another way to make more money off of us.
I’m so glad you asked. We also like to provide recipes for those customers that have the Kitchen Mill. We are in the process of updating this recipe, and providing instructions for those who only have a Blendtec blender very soon.
Using the WildSide jar method I would advise using less water than 1 cup and adding more if necessary later. I used the exact amounts called for and ended up needing to add some all purpose flour. Another note, if you generally don’t like the taste of baking powder in things then you’ll definitely taste it in this.
Also the texture of this mix is quite a bit more glutenous than I expected. A bit different to work with than a masa mix from the store, but it did work.
