Pulse Flour

Has anyone made their own flour from pulses? I'd like to try it, but not sure if I just take the dried beans and blend them? If anyone has any experience with this, is love to hear about it :)

    I'm not a baker, but people complain that many flours just don't "work" for baking things like cake, muffins, cookies, etc.
    You would have to say what you are using it for.
    If for coating chicken to bake, I used chia seeds once. Flaxmeal also worked mixed with parm cheese.

    I'm wanting to use it for baking. I've heard that you can replace up to 20% of flour with pulse flour without changing the taste/texture.

    Try ethnic food stores or on line you can get chickpea flour in indian stores its called besan or check out gluten free aisle in many stores
    Making your own will ruin your blender unless you have an industrial strength grinder type thing don't bother it takes a lot of power
