Cooking Hints! When cooking whole kasha or whole buckwheat groats, it's
unnecessary to use an egg to coat the kernels. The thin seed coating on
whole buckwheat shields each kernel while it cooks, keeping particles
separate and fluffy. Egg white works just as well as whole egg, when
cooking fine, medium or coarse kasha. On these granulations of kasha, the
thin seed coatings are cracked. Use an egg, egg white or egg substitute to
'seal' each particle and keep starch granules from sticking together.
Follow package directions.
For fluffy kasha and tender groats, boiling hot liquid gives the best
results. Broth-homemade, canned or from a bouillon cube or powder- adds
more flavor than water.
Cooking times vary for fine, medium, coarse or whole kasha. Follow times
on package, keep heat low, and don't lift the lid to peek! Buckwheat flour
is a baker's delight. Make tender pastry crusts and rolled cookies. If you
rework dough, it won't be tough--because it's gluten-free. For the same
reason, pair buckwheat flour in cakes, muffins and yeast breads. Without
some gluten for support, these might collapse.
