Cannabis is an incredibly versatile ingredient in the kitchen. Whether it\u2019s dessert, dinner, or drinks, cannabis can play a fantastic role in enhancing flavors and elevating experiences. And that versatility extends further to its application in a recipe. You\u2019re probably familiar with making cannabis-infused butter<\/a> or coconut oil<\/a>, but did you know that you can make cannabis-infused flour\u2014or \u201ccannaflour\u201d\u2014too?<\/p>\n

        \nIntroduction to Cannabis Flour<\/b><\/h2>\n

        You should consider cannaflour an essential addition to your cannabis-friendly pantry. It is easy to store. Easy to make. And most importantly, it\u2019s a great way to get the benefits of the whole cannabis plant. Of course, cannaflour will have a more powerful herb and terpene<\/a>-laced flavor than cannabutter or other infusions, but it likely won\u2019t smell as loud or bright as you\u2019d expect when making cannabutter.<\/p>\n

        Working with cannaflour is slightly different from using cannabutter. You\u2019re more likely to run into temperature issues, mainly when the flour is outside the final product (like fried chicken, for example). The temperature should stay below 340 degrees Fahrenheit to preserve potency.<\/p>\n

        However, time and form are the most significant factors that determine how far you can push the temperature. Cookies will bake best around 325-375\u00b0F and usually need 10-18 minutes in the oven.<\/p>\n

        Baking rather than cooking with cannabis flour is probably safer since the internal temperature will never reach 350\u00b0F. Recipes like fried chicken need more precise monitoring since the flour would be on the outside and directly in hot oil. Thankfully, the ideal frying temperature for chicken is about 325\u00b0F for about 12 minutes, depending on the size.<\/p>\n

        Decarbing Process<\/h2>\n

        The first step to making cannabis flour is to decarboxylate the cannabis buds. Decarboxylating, or decarbing, is applying heat to raw cannabis flower to activate the THC<\/a>, CBD<\/a>, and any other cannabinoids in the strain. The best method to activate cannabinoids is to bake the flower in your oven using the following process:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Preheat the oven to 240\u00b0F.<\/li>\n
        2. Roughly chop up the cannabis buds and spread them in an even layer on a baking sheet or dish. Cover with tin foil.<\/li>\n
        3. Bake for 30-45 minutes until the cannabis has darkened and turned slightly brown and the cannabis smell begins to overwhelm your kitchen. It will smell the same as before being baked but even more intense and slightly nuttier.<\/li>\n
        4. Remove from the oven and allow it to remain covered until the pan is at least cool enough to handle (but room temperature is best) to preserve the terpenes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Cannaflour Recipe<\/h2>\n

          In my opinion, it\u2019s best to make cannabis flour as needed rather than making larger batches to store. Fresh is usually best for many reasons, but especially to maintain potency. Also, cannabis flour is one of the fastest infusions to whip up, so it\u2019s easy to decide on the fly to add it to a recipe. This recipe should take about 15 minutes if the cannabis is already decarboxylated and 1 hour if not.<\/p>\n

          The best ratio for flour to cannabis flower depends on the dose you require. That may only be a few grams or could be up to a quarter of the total weight of the flour. Depending on the recipe, you may be able to push it to an even split (half flour, half flower) without ruining the actual integrity of the recipe.<\/p>\n
