The Homemade Flour CookbookHow many times have you been excited about a recipe, only to discover that it called for a type of flour that you didn't have? Or perhaps you picked up a bag of a nut or legume flour in the market and then wondered what to make with it. If so, you may be interested in The Homemade Flour Cookbook by Erin Alderson, which explores the different ways to grind flour including electric and non-electric grinders, food processors, blenders, and even coffee grinders, making it easy for any do-it-yourself cook to have fresh flour. The cookbook also includes recipes that put those flours to good use.

    Chickpea flour!

  • rivergait  on  6/2/2014 at 1:30 PM

    Having had my own stone flour grinder for 40+ years, I like making cornmeal or polenta. Whole grains last longer if they're not ground till the last minute.

  • jupflute  on  6/2/2014 at 1:48 PM

    Oat flour

    I make a wonderful lemon cookie with semolina flour.

  • jenniesb  on  6/3/2014 at 1:40 PM

    I would say either buckwheat or rye flour - both give amazing taste to cookies/cakes/breads.

  • Queezle_Sister  on  6/3/2014 at 4:35 PM

    Rye is probably my favorite. I've been longing for way to grind my own flour - this book looks awesome!

  • madamepince  on  6/3/2014 at 6:41 PM

    A tie -- chickpea flour & almond meal.

  • AmandaS  on  6/3/2014 at 10:18 PM

    Can't decide between amaranth and quinoa flours.

  • hillsboroks  on  6/4/2014 at 1:18 PM

    It is a tossup between oat flour and rye flour for me.

  • goodfruit  on  6/4/2014 at 6:21 PM

    hazelnut or almond

  • milgwimper  on  6/5/2014 at 12:55 PM

    So hard to choose, but I guess, spelt, rice flour, rye, and buckwheat are at the top.

  • ellabee  on  6/5/2014 at 8:18 PM

    Chickpea flour. A good friend has been making a variety of her own flours for the last two years while going gluten-free, and I'm impressed at what she's able to make using only a food processor.

  • Teemo  on  6/5/2014 at 9:07 PM

    hmm definitely rice flour. I love turnip cakes

  • Melanie  on  6/5/2014 at 9:49 PM

    love buckwheat flour!!

  • rahiscock  on  6/7/2014 at 12:48 PM

    Rice flour. It's fabulous to use when rolling pastry/biscuits etc as it doesn't absorb as much and instead just coats the board and rolling pin. It also tends to make a crunchier crust (in comparison to wheat flour) when used in crumbles and cookies.

  • sedm3949  on  6/7/2014 at 12:56 PM

    buckwheat!

  • cambridgecook  on  6/7/2014 at 1:55 PM

  • myrecipeaddiction  on  6/14/2014 at 5:22 PM

    cake flour, of course

  • mknowles  on  6/15/2014 at 7:14 PM

    Add 1/4 amount of rice flour with regular flour when frying food especially chicken it crisp up nice and if you have a good blender you can make it yourself it's so easy

    Oat flour

  • Sarabclever  on  6/19/2014 at 5:32 PM

    I love spelt and am wanting to explore kamut. And since those are technically wheat, I love almond meal!

  • herby  on  6/19/2014 at 6:11 PM

    I love chickpea flour for savoury dishes and almond flour for the sweet ones.

  • shamby  on  6/19/2014 at 6:32 PM

    I love oat flour!

    oo flour for pizza dough

  • susan g  on  6/19/2014 at 7:38 PM

    Spelt; chickpea for gluten-free and Indian; but that only scratches the surface. I did catch a couple new-to-me flours above.

  • Taxlady  on  6/19/2014 at 8:03 PM

    Toss up between Rye and Potato flour

  • Sausagetarian  on  6/19/2014 at 8:30 PM

  • boardingace  on  6/23/2014 at 3:42 PM

    Very hard to pick, because I have about 10 kinds (I bake from King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking Cookbook a lot), but I guess I would pick whole wheat pastry flour. I love them all, honestly :)

    Barley Flour

  • Beckiemas  on  6/25/2014 at 10:03 PM

    I am loving teff flour at the moment! Such a light, fine grain. BUT for a favourite... it would have to be buckwheat. Nutritious and flavourful. Just lovely!

  • Sfgordon  on  6/25/2014 at 11:50 PM

    As I've been on a grain-free tear recently, I really enjoy lentil flour (pappadums) and pecan meal/flour (used in making grainless tart shells for fresh fruit)

  • bobbymacjr  on  6/26/2014 at 12:29 AM

    I have to choose just one?? Almond. But it's close. Couldn't do without besan, and I love oat flour. And hazelnut and walnut. Acorn is awesome too but I don't use it so often. It's a lot of work!

  • SherriL  on  6/26/2014 at 5:53 AM

    I would love to say something sexy and exotic, but while I use a wide range of non-wheat flours, I am Southern, so the go to favourite has to be cornmeal (polenta, grits...)

  • Debora_Gikovate  on  6/26/2014 at 7:00 AM

    Corn meal or rice flour

  • sgp  on  6/26/2014 at 4:22 PM

    Rye -- it's what keeps my sourdough starter alive.

  • Thredbende  on  6/26/2014 at 9:31 PM

    Rye flour has the complexity of flavors that make my lumpy, funky shaped country loaves sing.

  • madelainelc  on  6/27/2014 at 10:38 AM

    almond flour! I love baking with it.

    corn meal

  • federixio  on  6/29/2014 at 7:44 PM

    Chestnut flour It's an ingredient from our past, almost forgotten today. It's rich in flavour, deep, perfect for sweets, simple biscuits , elaborate layered cakes, tasty meat roasts, breads, tea cakes. Every time I use it, I challenge my friends to guess what flour it is...and only rarely someone recognised it!

  • fluffysammy  on  6/30/2014 at 5:43 AM

    Spelt flour, i love using it in bread mixed with other flours or on its own

    nut flours, particularly almond flour-however if that is not considered a true flour (i'm not sure) then I would say corn flour
