Low Carb Baking

[Maz2]

Good luck, I find it hard to eat but then love cauliflower rice!

Me too. I like courgetti spaghetti too. Went to Bella Italia the other day and found they were doing a pasta made with carrots and courgettes. I thought at first it was being put into ordinary spaghetti but the waitress said, no it is made with carrots and courgettes and made to look like spaghetti. It was very nice.

I have a question about almonds. The recipes ask for almond flour. Am i right in saying this is only almonds ground very tiny to make the flour. If it is how hard is it to make your own by buying whole almonds or ground almonds. It just seems almond flour is very expensive. or am i on the wrong track completely

I just buy ground Almonds @persephone and they do the job very well. I get mine off Amazon

Thanks Vince. So do you just use the ground almonds when a recipe says almond flour?

Yes @persephone I had the same confusion initially. Ground almonds do the job perfectly. I make the scones and the clafoutis with those.

 

[persephone]

Thanks. Ill give it a go with the ground ones

Almonds can work out expensive whether you buy them whole or ground...almond flour is simply ground almonds...I buy a kilo bag at a time...you can get some reasonably good deals on Amazon or wholefoods online.

Good luck Persephone...I'd love to see what you make with it.

I've just had a quick look at the prices for ground almonds...it seems Amazon has the best prices at the moment.

Making another blackberry clatfouteeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Strangely, my dentist is a T2 on insulin and when I was there yesterday, we started to compare notes, not very long may I add at the hourly rate he charges 🙄🙄 and me just being a Needy Poor Old Pensioner.
To cut a long story short, I sent him the recipe for the blackberry clafouteeeeeeeeeeee which he loves LOL He usually makes the cherry one.
Strange world, I don't believe I am exchanging recipes with my dentist, you couldn't make it up lol. What has happened to me???

Do you reckon you could use the maple as a sub for recipes that call for real maple syrup?? xx

I am not sure Kaylz...although I don't see why not...most syrups are used as an accompaniment so I would say yes...my syrups should be here by the weekend...then I'm off to get the Oppo ice cream...having some with butterscotch syrup...hmmn hmmn hmmn.

 

[Bubbsie]
