Millet dumpling update

[fuyu]

So here's the story on the microdumplings:

1. The millet was not ground anywhere near as well as I thought. So when I slapped together a very experimental mixture, there turned out to be a LOT of unground seed, leading to semi-cohesive piles of grain rather than, you know, anything resembling dough. XD

2. I came perilously close to setting fire to them. 8D I left the burner on high, which boiled away all the water in no time so when I finally came back to check on them, the cupcake wrappers I had chosen to steam them in were looking a bit charred. 8D Fortunately, no harm done.

3. Obviously the flour was very VERY coarse so there was an awful lot of husk and that was kind of off-putting. Wasn't much taste and I could barely make out the honey I'd used. They weren't BAD, they just weren't very exciting.

So, all in all I'd call it a good starting point, but not quite a success. ... I think if I try it again I will just buy the millet flour. XD Or at least get a machine to grind it.

On that note, sleep.

An electric coffee grinder might work, if you have one of those or know someone to borrow it from. They're often recommended for grinding spices and stuff to powder.

I was thinking about using our coffee grinder, actually. Hmmm.
