Mesquite Milling

Comment by Isabel Davis on November 3, 2009 at 2:29pm

I agree, it was great, I came away with about 3 pounds of mesquite flour. My husband bought home 2 pumpkins and is eager to have me make some pumpkin cookies.
Is there anyone out there who has a good recipe? Every time I do a google search I get chocolate chip cookies.
Thanks
Isabel

I just made pumpkin oat muffins last night. Haven't tried cookies yet. Let us know if you find a good recipe.

Thanks for coming to the milling everyone - on Saturday alone over 400 gallons of beans were milled!! As you know that's a lot of flour!

What do you think about a mesquite and carob bake off? Maybe hold it down at the Phoenix Public market and get a few 'celebrities' to sample it and vote on what they liked best?? More for an awareness and just something fun to do!

Looks like a good recipe Scott. Thank you. I'll check it out.

Interesting bake-off. I'm thinking it would be nice to make some mesquite flour goodies to donate to a shelter or such. Giving back what was freely gleaned.

Dana - that is also a good idea! However, I think it would need to be made in a commerical kitchen due to health codes..... I was trying to work around that...

Ahhh! I missed it. I've been looking for mesquite flour for years. I make waffles from scratch and suspect mesquite waffles would be great. Try this recipe and let me know how it works.

1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla, 3 tbs granular sugar (maybe less if mesquite flour is sweet enough), 3.5 oz melted butter (adjust amount to flour consistency), cinnamin, 1/2 cup of flour; Warm all the ingredients to room temp and melt the butter. Dissolve sugar completely. Combine together and put in the waffle iron. Makes 2 rectangular waffles or maybe 1 belgian.
