TIP

* To make toasted flour, use the all-purpose flour "La Merveilleuse". Here's the technique: put a cup of flour in a cast iron pan over low heat.  Stir constantly with a wooden spoon. It’s ready when the flour becomes a beautiful brownish colour.  This can easily take 15 to 20 minutes.  It is necessary to avoid setting the heat too high as the flour will burn and will not taste very good.  You can store your toasted flour in an airtight container until ready to use.
