We are passing through difficult days. The fear of contagion is taking its toll on the free flow of life. Does it call for a transformation? If we change the ages-old habit of taking nature for granted will it disappear in the horizon? I find myself lost in these thoughts often.
Coming to baking, I have been doing a lot of baking of late. More so as we ain’t buying any outside stuff. So sweet as well as savoury both type of baking is going on. And I am not complaining as this is what I love to do the most. This multi millet flour I had bought to add to wheat flour and ended up using it for cookies.
I have added tapioca flour to millet flour to give the cookies a better crumb. It helps the cookies to hold the shape too. You can replace it with cornflour.
