#it's where malt goes to purge its sins

[elephantbitterhead]

orgy of maltedness at Over Hartside

I found a bag of diastatic malt lurking in the cupboard the other day & in an effort to use it up, so far I have:

made malt & brown sugar shortbread hearts, which turned out gorgeously brown, divinely crumbly, and delicious

put a bunch of it it in yeasted waffles, which I then wantonly devoured with the strange & wonderful cypress mugolio made from our backyard cones; the waffles' flavor (and smell) was top notch but their texture was rather gummier than usual -- unsure whether to blame the malt for that since I am not a baking scientist (some kind of barley-based gooiness? idk)

<3u malt you are among the best flavors
