Teff, millet, and buckwheat flours ... what to do with them?

[kdmama33]

Someone gave me A LOT of gluten-free flour, for which I am so, so grateful!! We are a gluten-free household, but still I haven't used these flours much. (My main staples are sorghum flour, rice flour, coconut flour, almond flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch.) I use a bit of buckwheat, but not enough to go through this flour any time soon. So what can I do with all of this? Anyone have good recipes using teff, millet, or buckwheat flours?

Also, I received some whole grain teff, another thing I'm not all that familiar with. Any ideas there? Links, maybe?

TIA!

We make buckwheat waffles/pancakes a lot.
Millet flour I don't use that much, because it's grittier than a lot, so I use it where cornmeal would have been used (millet muffins), but you could use it for breading on chicken and things like that, along with another flour.
I've never used teff flour.
I use sorghum, light buckwheat, sweet potato starch and tapioca starch the most.

Teff can be used to make Injera. Take times to make, but very simple. Mix the teff flour in water and leave it in the oven, covered, with lights on. after 2-3 days, it would have soured/fermented. Add salt and make crepes. If you have gluten free sourdough starter, you can add it to speeden up the process. Teff is super healthy when fermented.

Millet flour can replace sorghum flour. Sorghum is a type of millet, I think!

Also, millet and buckwheat flour can be used in pancakes, cookies, crackers etc.

Just to add to the PP, injera is the bread component of Ethiopian food. It's great with stews or curry-type dishes!

Make the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies that are from the recipe on the back of the teff flour from Bob's Red Mill, if you have that. You can also do teff flour muffins and pancakes.

And you can also do a pie crust with teff flour, ground flax seed and melted fat of your choice (butter, coconut oil, whatever). It's like a graham cracker crust. Would be perfect for something like a key lime pie.

I LOVE teff! The grain I cook into a porridge for breakfast with dates, coconut butter, almonds and ground cloves mmmm. The flour makes a decent substitute for bran in raisin "bran" style muffins. For baking it is best mixed with other flours as it is pretty dense though the flavor is fairly mild.

Millett flour makes great crispy waffles.

Buckwheat I only like in small amounts mixed in other things- very strong flavor.

I also highly recommend the book the Allergy Self Help Cookbook....lots of recipes for using those flours.
