.....And if so, how successful was it? Did it do any harm to your food processor, how much did you add at a time, how many big bits did you have to sift out ie is there lots of waste?
Many thanks in advance for any tips or thoughts

Hi well my friend has done this when she ran out of chick pea flour and takes a very long time to do. In her words not mine worth the effort, she is MSE than anyone else i know. Smashing it with a hammer then processing it to fine tilt. In my attempts i have created a lot of waste.
I personally would just buy large packs of flour from the asain grocers and use that instead. Last time i bought some it was £2.50 for 3 kilo's (or was it 5 hmmm).

yes I'd say so (I liked it anyway)but I was using a combi of red lentils and porridge oats in place of ordinary flour to make savoury pancake wraps so I whizzed up equal amounts at the same time and kept dry in a tupperware box ready to use when I wanted to make into the batter0 -
Following on from your sweetcorn fritters in your other thread Weezl, if you have gram flour you can make truly scrumptious onion bhajis. I actually shallow fry mine, as I don't have a deep fryer, quite honestly it stinks up the oil so wasteful to me. I think if I was doing quite a few, say for a party, then I might df them. Very mse, if you have hm yoghurt then a dollop is nice. This as a starter/side dish will stretch your mc nicely. I guess this should be in the other thread, but hey-ho[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

I eat porage for breakfast every day. Each time I get a new bag, I sift it over a big bowl, to sift out all the fine flour dust. The porage has a nicer texture without the flour, which I collect in a tupperware box for use in pancakes, scones, bread etc.If I'm over the hill, where was the top?0
