magick

or well, flour that is currently dough in my fridge

its shelling a million acorns and throwing out half bc bugs got to them first

then a week of this to soak out the tannins (they make the flour bitter)

WHAT YOU GONNA MAKE

then grinding them down so you have exposed surface area to soak out even MORE tannins for another week

then draining, drying, grinding them down and finally sifting into flour

they gonna be cookies

and btw 3lbs of acorns made one cup of flour lol

COOKIE

if the apocalypse comes I can make cookies but I understand why this is not an accessible flour

happy snacking don't die!

yoooo that's so cool!

good job!! blue oak? I did this last year and it turned out great

PSA for anyone who tries this, you want acorns from the white oak group (including blue oak and live oak), not red or black. otherwise you will have so many tannins that you'll be soaking them for ten million years

also oak weevils are harmless and edible, though I personally am not that brave. but it reassured me given that 100% of my acorn haul had weevils (I just cut around the damaged bits)

oregon white oak! and lol even with it being white oak tannin soaking took two weeks

ooh excellent!!
