Homemade sweet potato (sweet potato) flour

Ingredients: sweet potato, water.

Steps:

Step 1. Wash all the sweet potatoes.

Step 2, or cut into pieces, add water and put directly into the blender to beat until fine. (But this is so unreliable that it stopped working after two or three uses)

Step 3. Use a grater to grate the sweet potato into shreds. (There is nothing we can do about it. The mixer is broken and only a soymilk maker is left.) Add the shredded sweet potato shreds to water and put them into the soymilk maker to make a paste.

Step 4. Use a mosquito net to make a filter, and then place it on a plastic drain basket. (Mine is a relatively large plastic basket.) (This can separate the sweet potato pulp and the remaining sweet potato residue)

Step 5. At this time, pour the sweet potato pulp water into the mesh and wait for the sweet potatoes to When the slurry is almost dripping, add water and stir the sweet potato slurry while pouring the water. The first filtered sweet potato pulp water is poured into the bucket to settle. Then wash it a second time (there will be some sweet potato flour left after the first wash, wash it again, don’t waste it). The sweet potato water from the second wash can be reserved for beating the sweet potatoes.

Step 6: After three hours of precipitation, (in winter, it can be settled for a longer time without any problem. In summer, it cannot be allowed to settle for too long because of the hot weather, because the sweet potato pulp will roll when the weather is hot, so It will be very wasteful) and then pour away the sweet potato water. At this time, the sweet potato starch has settled. This is the sweet potato starch that has settled.

Step 7. Dig the sweet potato flour pieces out of the bucket, put them on a clean container (this is to be taken out to dry, the container must be clean) and break them into large pieces.

Step 8. Cover it with a layer of mosquito net, clamp it with clips (this can reduce the entry of dust) and place it in the sun. Sun-dry the sweet potato flour until it becomes dry and hard. If the weather is good, it will take about 3 days.

Step 9: Break it into small pieces and continue to dry it until the small pieces are dry. Continue to break it and dry it for a few more days as shown in the picture. When the small particles of sweet potato starch are completely dry, you can . (The entire drying time takes about 10 days. In Guangdong, the sun basically rests for two-thirds of the time in winter. In summer, it takes about 5 days.)

Step 10, dried sweet potatoes The powder particles are still a bit big, so use a rolling pin to crush them, and it will be almost the same as what you eat at home. Then put it in a bottle and eat it slowly. Only about 11 kilograms of sweet potato flour can be made from 110 kilograms of sweet potatoes. The reason is probably that the machine is not fine enough and wastes a lot of sweet potato flour. It is recommended that if you want to make sweet potato flour, you should buy a good machine so that you can avoid waste.

Tips:

There is no small problem. The main thing is to have good tools and a heart that is not afraid of hard work. The most important thing is to have a foodie heart. It is still recommended that you make your own sweet potato starch and lotus root starch. Most of the ones sold outside are not authentic and are adulterated with other flours. A few days of hard work can probably last a whole year. In my hometown, if I get internal heat, I would add sweet potato flour and water to make a paste to achieve the effect of removing internal heat. The effect of drinking it when you are constipated is very significant. And sweet potato flour can be used to make a variety of dishes and desserts. It can be used in daily cooking.
