Milo flour is
a rusty hued color with flecks of cream and dark. The taste is
faintly sweet in most products, and it's taste is the most like wheat
of all flours. This is probably due to the fact that milo is a
grain, a member of the grass family. It makes all products very nice
tasting, the only drawback to this flour is that baked products tend
to crumble easily; thus they must be handled very gently. Try making
milo pasta!

- Use
milo flour as a substitute for rice flour, corn flour, or gluten
free flour mixes for gluten free cooking, or use milo flour as a
substitute for wheat flour in your favorite recipes for cookies,
cakes, and quick bread, and risen breads. Use milo flour as a
fry coating for meat, fish and poultry. You will love the golden
crispy crust. Use milo flour by itself as a substitute for
gluten free flours made from other flour sources. Add 1/2 - 1
Tbsp of corn starch to every cup of milo flour to improve
smoothness and moisture retention.
- Use
xanthan gum as a binder and moisture retention agent. Add 1/2
teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour for cookies and cakes
or 1 teaspoon per cup of flour for breads. Add a little extra
oil or shortening if you feel that your recipes are too dry. Add
an extra egg or egg white for improved smoothness and crumb
structure. Add a little extra baking powder and/or soda to give
a little extra rising capability.
- Note:
This flour is processed in a mill which also processes wheat
flours.
