I just dry the leaves. Then I pop them into the blender to make "flour". Measure out how much "flour you want to use and put it in a small sauce pan. The "flour" is mixed with oil until it has a gravy-like consistency. I have a tiny 2 cup pan that works well for this. I heat the oil/cannabis mixture until it is too hot to keep a finger in it. Then I count to 10 and remove it from the heat and let cool. You don't want the temperature to get
too high or you can break down the THC. Then just use the mix for the oil/butter in your recipe and add about 1 tablespoonful more.
So why do I do all that?
Blenderizing, makes the particles smaller making it easier for the THC to mix into the oil. It also makes the texture of the baked goods better.
Heating in oil, makes the THC get into the oil faster. The heat also will help begin to change the THCA (no high) into plain old THC.
The
adding a tablespoon extra, makes up for the displacement and absorption of the cannabis and puts back the missing amount of oil in your recipe while adding a bit more THC.
Granny tips-
Pick a recipe that uses a large amount of oil/butter!
Put aside a bit of regular flour from your recipe. When you have added the oil mix to your recipe, put that bit of white flour into the pan that you heated the oil in. It will clump up the last of the oil, so you can get every last bit of the oil out of the pan. Just dump it back into the recipe. Much easier than scraping the pan!
When I heat my oil, I mix spices in with it to change the odor and add more flavor to my baked goods. I like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
Enjoy!
