Grinding Corn for Corn Meal, Crumbs, & Corn Soup

This is our project for today. Making corn crumbs and corn meal and a once thru the grinder for corn soup.

 

That would work great in honey cakes, @pearlselby!

 

Yes, it would, @Hanzo!!! Thank you!

 

Hey @pearlselby what kind of grinder is that? I have an old sheller that works great, just wondering about the grinder.

Thanks for asking, @Tully Mars

 

Thanks Gurlfriend!

 

I wonder if it would grind corn that is prepared for making tortillas

 

I grind dent corn in my WonderMill and it comes out too fine so I have to use a hand mill if I want corn meal not corn flour.

 

My .02

Buy the combo mill with the burrs and the stones and purchase a spare set of stones. That way you cover all bases.

 

HI Aeason, After we grind it we put it in a ninja blender and then sift it to get the flour.

This is definitely not the best model. We just wanted something manual and cheap.

 

Wife picked up some corn from the Mexican store, made homniy this afternoon we will grind it to see if the hand grinder will make masa for tortillas

 

@Aeason, remember the ninja. Then the last step is sifting. It really makes some pretty flour. Then, the bigger pieces, you can use as soup. Or grind it again.
Good luck to you, Sir.

 

it works

 

@Aeason. beautiful tortillas. I am so glad it worked for you!

 

@Aeason

 

built this adjustable stand for the wife for making masa

 

i have both a meat grinder and in a pinch i can use an old coffee grinder to grind corn

 

Has anyone tired the KitchenAid KGM Metal Stand-Mixer Grain-Mill Attachment with Cleaning Brush?
Ebay # 141762471672 I'm going to try to put in a small patch of Dent Corn this year, do they get weevils as bad as the sweet corn?
