Cornmeal

Cornmeal

Save money and use up unpoppable popcorn by grinding your own cornmeal with a high-speed blender.

Yield: about 1 cup

Time: 5 minutes

Tools

  • high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix
  • colander (not too fine)

Ingredients

  • 2 c unpopped popcorn

Directions

Place popcorn in blender and grind for 1-2 minutes.

Sift this powder through the colander. Transfer whatever gets sifted out back into the blender.

For corn flour, grind an extra minute and sift through a fine colander.

Notes

You can make cornmeal in Vitamix’s regular 64-ounce container, but if you have the dry container, it will work a little better.

Use this same technique for making speciality flours like chickpea flour.
