玉米片／粟米片由一位美國的醫學博士（Dr.John Harvey Kellogg）和他的兄弟威爾·凱斯·家樂 (Will Keith Kellogg) 為幫助病人痊癒而發明的素食穀物早餐。他們把粟米煮熟，壓過和熱烘成鬆脆的薄片，並把這門技術取了專利，創立品牌，這種方便的懶人食品迅速掀起了早餐革命，美國人放棄熱騰騰的油膩熟食早餐，粟米片取而代之，剛推出時一度供不應求。時至今日，威爾家樂兄弟成立的粟米片品牌，已經成為穀物早餐的代名詞。
粟米片的原意可能是好的，不過我們現在買到的粟米片，是用麵糰揉壓和烘烤的製成品，成份中究竟有多少真實的粟米存在疑問，食物經過不斷加工改良，要美味又防腐，還有食物基因改造的問題，其實已經不再是單純在地的健康食品，很多人開始質疑粟片的健康指數。
明知道粟米片是高度加工的食物，並不如廣告宣傳的健康，粟米片都是陪伴我們這一代成長的集體回憶。肥丁用新鮮粟米加入粟粉麵粉、鷹粟粉、麵粉等試著實驗自製粟米片，成品雖然不是百分百和巿售的一樣，用來解除心癮也夠滿足了。做好放進密封的保鮮袋中，可存放 3 ~ 4 天，當日常小零食也很不錯 ~
粟米片於穀類食物中纖維較低，除了搭配牛奶，可以試試無糖豆漿、堅果奶、米奶或自製乳酪一起享用，還可以加入你喜歡的水果，如士多啤梨、藍莓、奇異果、香蕉、堅果等高纖食材，豐富口感又飽腹。炎熱的夏天，早晨不想吃熱食，胃口不佳，鬆脆的粟米片加奶確實是非常美味又簡單的早餐選擇。
材料 （可製作約 110 g）
- 新鮮粟米粒 Fresh Corn Kernels 60 g
- 石磨幼粒粟米麵粉 Stone Ground Corn Flour 35 g
- 鷹粟粉 Corn Starch 10 g
- 低筋麵粉 Cake Flour 5 g
- 原蔗糖 Demerara Raw Cane Sugar 5 g
- 岩鹽 Himalayan Salt 1/2 小匙
- 初榨橄欖油 Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 大匙
- 熱水 Hot Water 2 大匙
做法
1. 粟米蒸熟，刨粒。粟米粒加入熱水，用手提攪拌棒打成粟米泥
2. 石磨粟米麵粉、低筋麵粉、鷹粟粉、糖、鹽及油放入大碗中攪拌混合，加入粟米泥，用刮刀攪拌成濕潤而不黏手的麵糰，麵糰攪拌均勻即可，不用過度搓揉
3. 將麵糰分成 4 份，未用的用濕布蓋好。預熱焗爐至 170°C
4. 將其中一份放在烤盤布上，塑成長方形，舖上另一塊烤盤布，用麵棍推薄。粟米片有一點厚度口感才好，所以不用太薄
5. 蓋在上面的烘焙布不用拿去，一起送入焗爐以 160°C 烤 4 分鐘，取出，水份烤乾便能輕易掀起烘焙布，粟米片邊緣開始捲起，粟米片反面，降溫至120°C 再烤 3 ~ 4 分鐘
6. 粟米片烤乾後體積會縮小一些，關掉焗爐，讓粟米片的水份進一步蒸發，放涼後粟米片會更很脆，用手掰成小份
小叮嚀
- 個別烤箱有差異，烘焙溫度及時間只供參考，要自己觀察調較
- 粟米片愈薄愈脆，烘焙的時間愈短
- 存放密封的容器可保存 3 ~ 4 天
認識原材料【粟米粉 VS 粟米麵粉】
肥丁配方裏有兩種粟米粉，分別在於提煉製作方法不同。大家購買時最好認識英文名稱
粟米粉(Corn Starch/Cornflour) 港澳地區稱爲「粟粉」、「鷹粟粉」、「生粉」或「豆粉」。是由粟米提煉的白色「澱粉」，沒粟米味，加水煮熟後凝結成濃稠的效果，常用作廣東「勾芡」。在英國、澳洲及很多英聯邦國家稱爲Cornflour。而在美國普遍稱為Corn Starch，與原顆粟米磨製的Corn Meal並不相同
粟米麵粉（Corn Meal）由乾燥的原粒粟米磨成，但不如粟米澱粉般精細，黃色，顆粒幼度分為「極幼」、「幼細」和「粗粒」，顆粒愈粗顏色愈深。在美國，研磨得極幼的粟米麵粉也叫 Corn Flour。在西方食譜中常用作烘焙蛋糕、餅乾，或撒在麵包表面防黏的材料。石磨粟米麵粉保留殼、胚芽、更多香味和營養，但容易變質，需要存放在雪櫃。這篇配方中肥丁用最幼細的石磨粟米麵粉
