White bean flour is made by grinding white
or navy beans into a fine powder.
White
bean flour or Fava bean flour generally work best for baked goods.
Replace
up to one-fourth of the flour in any recipe with bean flour. Beans
combined with grain form a complete protein which is exceptionally
efficient nutrition for the body.
You
can whisk in white bean flour to chicken stock, vegetable stock or milk as
a base for a fast, hearty soup. It thickens in three minutes, so if you
are going to add any vegetables or other meat, do it quick! (Ratio is
about 1:5, flour to liquid).
This flour has a multitude of uses for
making things like bean dips, soups, filling burritos, breads and the
little cake mix below.
