Ok, so, for grins, I’m attempting to start a sourdough starter using 1/2 buckwheat and 1/2 coconut flour (since I have them both on hand).

I had to use a lot more water than stated (weight vs volume?).

Several family friends are gluten intolerant or full on celiac, so I’m intrigued by this and thankful y’all inspired me.

Will update with progress if anyone is interested.

Regarding the water/flour ratio: Use weight for both, or volume for both. Then you're measuring apples to apples, so to speak.

I stated that I use 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup water (volume measurements). It's a little rougher than that. If it seems like it's really thick, I might add a bit more water. By a bit, I mean about 1/2 teaspoon. It's easier for me to add water than flour, if the consistency is off.

I haven't used anything other than oat and rice flours to feed mine, so, yes, I'm interested in how your sourdough goes.

Agreed!! Definitely NOT in brownies or fudge... or ice-cream.

Nuts definitely do belong in fudge, brownies and ice cream. Butter Pecan would not be butter pecan ice cream without the pecans.

I always put a cup of walnuts in my batch of brownies. Much better than without.

Some of the best chocolate chip cookies I have had were made with pecans.

We'll agree to (heartily) disagree!

I wouldn’t use coconut it contains fat and fat might get rancid you could try rice or millet?

I mean, depending on the fat preparation and storage methods it won’t necessarily go rancid.

I’m thinking biltong and pemmican.

I’m gonna give it a shot with the coconut flour and report the results. But most def appreciate the feedback.

Edit: spell check? Holy cow! Perpetation??? Oof.

I'm going to add orange zest next time. I love cinnamon and orange!

I made those cinnamon rolls yesterday, took them to potluck at church today, they were a hit! Interesting technique. But... they are so BIG! Will try that technique with my regular recipe.

Butterscotch chips in oatmeal cookies are wonderful, yes! I've done that too.

I did not add the pecans to the recipe -- don't think nuts of any kind belong in a cookie (unless they're very finely ground).

For me, a cookie is not a cookie without nuts.

Yes. I ordered a GF starter. I use 1/4 cup oat flour and 1/4 cup rice flour with 1/4 cup water when I feed mine.

Nut... cookies... nope, not together, in my book. or in brownies or fudge.

... nor is a brownie a brownie, and fudge without nuts? Oh, no! Lol

Agreed!! Definitely NOT in brownies or fudge... or ice-cream.

I agree about the ice cream, in general. Candy, cookie dough, gummy worms, etc., NO! Nothing like that in my ice cream!

Okay, butter pecan needs pecans, but you can have my share. Ice cream should be smooth and creamy. Ice CREAM! The last two paragraphs above make you a man after my own heart. Walnuts in brownies and fudge; pecans in the cookies, yes!

Funny how everyone has different taste I like nuts in my bread, cookies and fudge, but not in ice cream!
And, can rolls be too big ?!

Bakers good morning one and all!

I spent Saturday driving 2 hours to pick up our new fur baby and drove 2 hours to get back home.

Will have a picture later if I can get it to load.

Temperature is in the 80s.

Have a great day!
