    Do you just dry and grind for the flakes?

    I baked them in the oven until they looked dry and then ran them through a food processor, but they were still too sticky to use the way I was expecting. It needs something else... maybe just added corn starch or an actual food dehydrator, but I didn't figure it out before moving to a place with no garden. Also, it made the kitchen uninhabitable for normies while it was cooking.
