Bob's Red Mill All-Natural Hazelnut Meal/Flour, 14-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many European tortes and cookies use ground hazelnuts as the major ingredient, replacing flour. Some examples are Christmas star cookies from Germany which are small iced nut cakes that have a baked-on icing (Zimtsterne.) Tortes frequently use hazelnut flour as the main ingredient. Rather than having to rub off the skins and grind your own, you can buy Bob's Red Mill hazelnut meal instead. Keep it in the freezer or fridge as it can go rancid if you don't use it all up.
ZIMTSTERNE (Cinnamon Stars)

1 1/2 cups (about 8 ounces) hazelnuts or blanched almonds, finely ground
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 cup egg whites (about 2 large)
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
About 1/2 cup additional confectioners' sugar for rolling

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. Combine the nuts, cinnamon, and zest. Beat the egg whites on low speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Add the salt, increase the speed to medium-high, and beat until soft peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until stiff and glossy, 5 to 8 minutes. Reserve one-third of the meringue (about 1/3 cup) and fold the nut mixture into the remaining meringue.
3. Place a large piece of waxed paper on a flat surface and sprinkle with additional confectioners' sugar. Place the nut mixture on the sugar, lightly sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar, top with a second piece of waxed paper, and roll out 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top piece of waxed paper. Using a cookie cutter dipped in water, cut into 2-inch star shapes or use a sharp knife to cut into diamonds. Reroll and cut any scraps. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake until set, 10 to 12 minutes. Spread the reserved meringue over the top of the cookies and bake until the tops are lightly colored, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool. These cookies set up and dry out over 1 day, so let them alone overnight AT LEAST and keep in a tin to store. If they last...which in our house they don't. They are horribly addictive.
Approximately 3 dozen cookies.

Natural Almond Meal Flour - 5 Pound Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, this product is a staple. I have gone through a 5 pound bag of this almond flour each month for the past 3 months. I am thinking of ordering two bags at a time because it can be stored in the freezer. I find it works best in recipes when I sift it through a collander.

Bob's Red Mill Almond Meal/Flour, 16-Ounce Packages (Pack of 4) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't eat any kind of wheat flour, but since I discovered Almond Meal (Bob's Red Mill), my diet is much easier to live with. I use 4 parts almond meal with 4 parts garbanzo (bean) flour and 1 part potato starch (NOT potato flour)as a substitute for regular flour. I've made brownies, peanut butter cookies, banana bread, and carrot cookies and found the texture and taste are not noticeably different than the original recipe, at least to me.

Let's Do Organic Coconut Flour, 16-OuncePouches (Pack of 6) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been using Bob's Red Mill coconut flour for all my gluten-free baking but decided to try this brand because it was cheaper. And, let's just say you get what you pay for!! This coconut "flour" isn't flour at all... it's coconut meal. It's much more course than Bob's Red Mill and leaves all my baked goods with a undesirable grainy texture. I would absolutely not recommend this brand, however, I do recommend coconut flour in general. It's an absolutely wonderful substitute for grain flours.

Let's Do. Organic Coconut Flour is made from certified organic fresh coconuts.After separating the rich, white coconut meat from its shell, we use pressurized steam to remove most of its fat.We thoroughly dry the defatted coconut before milling it to a fine cream colored flour.Although its texture is very similar to wheat flour, Let's Do. Organic Coconut Flour is completely gluten free, high in fiber and more than 20% protein.Organic Coconut Flour is wonderful in baked goods, and delicious in your favorite smoothies (with the benefit of adding healthful protein and fiber).Let's Do. Organic Coconut Flour may replace wheat flour completely in many recipes with great results (see our Brownies recipe below for a perfect example).In other recipes you may only want to replace up to 25% percent of the wheat or other grain flour with coconut flour.When you replace other flour in recipes, be sure to increase your liquid by the same measure.For example: if your recipe calls for 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of water, you could use ½ cup coconut flour plus 1½ cups any other flour, and then you must add an additional ½ cup water to total 1½ cups liquid.Try our recipes and experiment with your own.We invite you to send us your favorite recipes so that we can share them with others.
