When baking, you can often substitute a portion of the flour in a recipe with this mix to alter the final texture and density. For batters, simply whisk it in with your wet ingredients until fully combined. In soups or sauces, it can be stirred in during the simmering process to help thicken the liquid and add a subtle richness. Experiment with different amounts to find the consistency and flavor profile you prefer in your cooking. It blends well with both sweet and savory flavorings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole grains, this mix is pre-processed for easier integration. It offers a different mouthfeel than pure flour, often resulting in a denser or chewier texture in baked items. Its flavor is more neutral than some other grain-based additions.

How to keep the rest
