I would suggest adding some brown sugar or honey to the recipe to offset some residual bitterness. Or perhaps your patience in rinsing out whatever tannins exist in your White Oak exceeds mine! Either way, best of luck and let me know how it goes. It is a good way to feel a little more connected to where we get our nourishment. Thank you kindly for stopping by the site. Margaret,

I too have a lovely oak tree in the front garden. The oak tree has been a symbolic tree for my family. I now have my beloved pet pig buried under my oak tree so it means even more to me know. We harvested lots of acorns yesterday. Our oak tree is a white oak so it shouldn't have too much tannin. The town where i live is packed with majestic oak trees. So very beautiful. Once again thanks for your effort.....kind regards, Margaret (Gisborne, Australia) Hello Steve, thanks for your detailed description regarding harvesting and utilising acorns.

I will certainly have to take a good look there. Of course it would be easier to buy the flour, but I this was more an exercise in DIY. Perhaps for the next go at acorn dishes I will do so. Thanks!

I'm surprised the fiber is so low. And here I thought acorns were only good for acorn fights. I’m surprised the fiber is so low.
