Hello everybody.
Longtime lurker here. Thanks for all the help.
Has anyone made popcorn flour? I'm talking about flour made from popped popcorn, not cornmeal made from unpopped popcorn.
If so, what was the equipment you used?
I've made it in small quantities using a food processor, and want to be able to make larger quantities. I'm willing to invest in a grain mill attachment to a kitchenaid, or even a nutrimill, but need to know that it will work beforehand.
Any help would be much much appreciated!
Then it's already cooked. How would you imagine to use it? I'm wondering if it wouldn't be somehow similar to cracker crumbs?

A food processor or blender is too weak for your needs? IOW, You need to know if cooked popped corn will gum up the mill.
A previous post, recipe using popped-corn flour: http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/41743/popcorn-bread
Yes indeed.
Will it gum up the mill?
I've read through, I think, what's available on Fresh Loaf about popcorn flour. And in a lot of other places.
It's not that a food processor is too weak for my needs, it's that doing the volume I want in one of those is a time consuming option. I'm testing a recipe for eventual (smalltime) commercial application, and although lots of people seem to know that Popcorn flour is a thing, and was a thing of wide use during WWII, I can't seem to find much info on how to do it outside of a food processor.
Also - thanks for the help!

Sounds like they made them in Ames, Iowa, in the land of corn.
I milled 2 cups white popcorn in my WonderMill.
