Soy flour can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. It works well in combination with other flours, often making up a portion of the total flour content. For thickening, it can be whisked into liquids like broths or dairy to create smoother, richer sauces. It can also be used as a binder in meatloaf or veggie burgers. Its mild flavor means it generally does not overpower other ingredients.
