Millin Grain When most people think about milling grains at home, they think first of those bulky, expensive grain mills. Put those thoughts aside because you can make all of your own flours and meals using your new Cuisinart® blender! Be it buckwheat, oats, garbanzo beans or rice, they can all be blended to a fine powder with the touch of a button. In less than 1 minute you will have the freshest flours for your next batch of baked goods. Here we give you guidelines, which work for just about any grain. We use 1 cup as a starting point, but you can go up to a maximum of 3 cups for any of the grains. Milling these items at home will save you a lot of money at the market and will be the freshest-tasting flours. Put 1 cup of your desired grain into the blender jar. Turn the dial to Speed 10 and blend for 20 to 40 seconds (softer items, like quinoa and oats will take less time, while harder items like wheat berries will take the full 40 seconds). Grain Wheat Berries Amount Time 1 cup 40 seconds Buckwheat 1 cup 30 seconds Rice (White or Brown) 1 cup 30 seconds Garbanzo Beans 1 cup 30 seconds Dried Corn Kernels 1 cup 30 seconds Quinoa Oats 1 cup 20 seconds 1 cup 20 seconds Yield 1½ cups our 1½ cups our 1 ∕ cups our 1½ cups our 1½ cups meal 1½ cups our 1 ∕ cups our Use Whole wheat our - substitute for all-purpose our as needed. Buckwheat our - use in addition to other ours in baked goods from cookies and breads to pancakes. A great, gluten-free alternative to our. Since there is no gluten in rice our, it cannot be substituted 1 for 1 for all-purpose our. Another good, gluten-free our that can be used in combination with other gluten-free ours. This has a stronger avor than others, such as rice, so it may work better in savory items than chocolate chip cookies for example. Cornmeal - use it in cornbread, or use it when making pizza (gives that great crunch to the bottom crust and prevents it from sticking to pizza stones or pans). This gluten-free our is very high in protein. Great in muf ns and pancakes, and also a nice addition to yeast breads. 22

Milling Grains
When most people think about milling grains at home, they think first
of those bulky, expensive grain mills. Put those thoughts aside because
you can make all of your own flours and meals using your new Cuisinart
®
blender! Be it buckwheat, oats, garbanzo beans or rice, they can all be
blended to a fine powder with the touch of a button. In less than 1 minute
you will have the freshest flours for your next batch of baked goods.
Here we give you guidelines, which work for just about any grain. We use
1 cup as a starting point, but you can go up to a maximum of 3 cups for any
of the grains. Milling these items at home will save you a lot of money at
the market and will be the freshest-tasting flours.
Put 1 cup of your desired grain into the blender jar. Turn the dial to Speed 10
and blend for 20 to 40 seconds (softer items, like quinoa and oats will take
less time, while harder items like wheat berries will take the full 40 seconds).

Another good, gluten-free
flour that can be used in

others, such as rice, so it
may work better in savory
items than chocolate chip
cookies for example.
