We brewed two batches of beer a few months ago - a pale & a brown - and made flour from the spent grain. I found a lot of great spend grain recipes on the Brooklyn Brewshop website.
I had some peaches that were looking a little worse for wear and some strawberries on hand so today I decided to try out the spent grain graham cracker crust recipe and make little fruit pies.
Ingredients:
1 full size package or graham crackers
1/2 cup spent grain flour - I used the flour from our brown beer for this
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 Tablespoons salted butter, melted (or unsalted butter and add salt)
Put all the dry ingredients in a food processor and mix, then while the processor is running pour in the butter and continue to mix until clumps form.
Press mixture into pie pan to cover the bottom and the sides.
Bake at 350 for 14 minutes.
I used small pie pans and then filled them with a mixture of chopped peaches, strawberries, a little flour, cinnamon and sugar and baked another 15 minutes or so.
