Cornmeal (corn flour) cake & cookies, and corn tea for a taste of bliss!

Tuesday, October 29, 2024

We received dried and ground corn from Hokuryu Town (grown on Koki Takada's farm) into flour, which we immediately tried out in cakes and cookies! (The dried corn was ground by a grinder at Kuro Sengoku Cooperative).

Two types of cornmeal, one for cooking and the other ground for tea. The left one is for cooking and the right one is for tea.

Cakes & Cookies

You can try various dishes, but first try cakes & cookies!

For the cake, use corn flour & rice flour, mix with coconut oil, coconut sugar, honey, soy milk, baking powder and baking soda, and bake in a 200 degree oven for 30 minutes.

For the cookies, corn flour and rice flour are mixed with maple syrup and baking powder, rolled into bars and refrigerated for 1 hour to harden.
