Toasting

When I tell someone in the Huckleberry kitchen to toast nuts or wheat germ, they all know what I mean: I want some deep, dark color on them, and I want to really be able to smell them when they come out of the oven. When you toast nuts and wheat germ properly, you give them a much stronger, nutty flavor that is imperative when you are baking with them. If you don’t toast properly, they can easily get lost in all the butter, white flour, and anything else you have in there. So please toast your nuts and wheat germ deep, dark, and fragrant.
