Low Carb Baking

[Kaylz]

I have some dried crushed chilli...some chilies in oil...hoping I have some chilli powder... a moderate one that is not too hot...although since they're chips...could have them with a cooling dip...as @AndBreathe suggested...maybe some sour cream...I also have Greek yoghurt that needs to be used...so will try that too...busy day head...yes will post some pics as long as they don't look like a dog's dinner😉

I have hot chilli powder and chilli oil in, but no halloumi! haha, and funnily enough your lucky if you can get hold of a block of extra mature cheddar down this end of the town 🙄, might give it a go with mozzarella sometime, I used to eat mozzarella sticks all the time so would be great to have them again! xx

Okay these are the Halloumi Fries from @Kaylz recipe.for @Lucy Honeychurch & @Pine Marten .the recipe is posted above....I have made one or two tweaks but nothing major





I used 233gs Halloumi so doubled the almond mixture, used crushed chilli (that's all I had) instead of chilli powder..included a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning for flavour & colour...dipped the 'chips' in beaten egg to ensure the dry coating stuck...fried for around four minutes...with fried crispy bacon & a little Greek yoghurt...@Kaylz that recipe is a winner.

 

[Kaylz]

@Bubbsie they look absolutely amazing! I am so jealous! Haha xx

The excuse is if I forget part of someone else's shopping I wont be around to try these! haha, also got the pennies to think about, main hospital appointment in a few weeks and don't know what travel situation is going to be for getting all the way back and making my way to sign on etc xx

 

[Bubbsie]

Fried cheese, looks excellent, well done.

Benny they were delicious...next time I'll make them wafer thin...just like real chips.

With the weather warming up I thought I might try some cold sweets to keep in the freezer.
My first attempt at Bounty bars.

Tasted a lot like Bounty, very nice. I think next time I might add some mint flavouring for something closer to an After 8.

A nutty chocolate covered bar, best served from the fridge. Tasted a lot like a choc ice. Very rich.

Nut bar recipe please? xx

 

[Bubbsie]

Yes, I liked the look of the fat bombs and pencilled them in.

I found one in the bottom of the fridge...I just ate it while I was cooking dinner😱.

 

[Bubbsie]

Trying out a baking blend tomorrow...which should be a great substitute for flour...will let you know how it goes.

I need buy some cooking and baking gear I think. Things like muffn trays and bread tins, things I just don't possess.
🙄
Guess Amazon will get a bashing when I get back.
Any suggestions what to buy for the best would be gratefully appreciated.😎

Vince it depends what you want to cook...for the muffins I'd recommend the silicon trays...completely non stick & you can just pop them out when they're ready...I got a brilliant one which does larger ones...useful for burger buns...or split into three & toasted...try this one from Amazon WellBake Silicone JUMBO Extra Large Non-stick Muffin Tray...for the bread just a standard loaf tin would do...I'm using liners when I make the bran bread since the mixture is quite wet but makes a good loaf...this is a good buy again from Amazon Prochef 2lb Loaf Tin Premium Quality Teflon Innovations Pure Silicone Coating...you can also buy the bread tin liners there.

@Bubbsie - You could fry your halloumi chips in chilly oil, which would definitely infuse into things. I sometimes use chilli oil to pan fry white fish (cod, haddock or sometimes hake), and it definitely infuses flavour into the fish.

That said, my chilli oil is very strong, but as it's home made, it needn't be, and if it turns out too strong, it can alwats be diluted down with uninfused oil.

(This is how I did my chilli oil. https://thewoksoflife.com/2015/08/how-to-make-chili-oil/ )
