things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of oat flour?
  About 5.75 g level. Heaping runs closer to 8 g because the flour mounds easily on the spoon. For thickening a creamy soup or pan sauce, two level tablespoons (around 11-12 g) into a roux with butter gives you a pourable consistency without the chalky aftertaste that too much wheat flour can leave behind.
• Can I use oat flour to thicken soups and sauces?
  Yes, and it works particularly well in dairy-based soups like cream of mushroom or potato leek where the oat flavor reinforces the warmth of the broth. Whisk 1-2 tablespoons into cold milk or stock first to prevent lumping, then stream into the simmering pot. It thickens at a lower temperature than wheat flour and won't break if the soup is held hot for a while.
• How much oat flour do I add to fix runny pancake batter?
  Start with one tablespoon (about 5.75 g) per cup of batter, whisk thoroughly, and let the batter rest two minutes before judging — oat flour keeps absorbing liquid for a beat after mixing. If it's still loose, add another tablespoon. Going past 3 tablespoons of correction usually means the batter needs an extra egg yolk too, or the pancakes turn rubbery.
