The Importance of Flour: Muffin Redux
I really haven’t done that much cooking recently. So I decided to make up for it today, while working from home, not getting dressed in real clothes and not going beyond the front steps to get my Zappos package from the UPS guy. It’s hard to believe I made both of these recipes before. I overcooked the blueberry-banana muffins, again. I used regular blueberries (nine - yes, I counted). The tops puffed up so much more this time but luckily I get a little more of the perfectly done part. For the cranberry-corn muffins, I used frozen raspberries and olive oil (the last of the canola went to the blueberry-banana).
The big thing: I used Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Flour Mix not King Arthur. Back in the day of regular baking it was easy: all-purpose flour and bread flour for… bread. Now there are 3 different flours in every blend and like 20 to choose from. That’s a lot of combinations (also, may have just looked up to make sure I should actually have said permutations). Anyway, Bob’s is much more bean than rice and it does different things to the consistency and flavor. I found it was more noticeable in the cornbread (more earthy, if that makes sense in a muffin) because the banana is so much more flavorful than the cornmeal. Either way, both puffed more and I don’t like it as much. But I still have delicious muffins for the next two weeks, or days.
Finding the right gluten-free flour for a recipe is tough. I totally agree with you, Bob’s Red Mill is good for most muffin and cake type recipes.
