Low Carb Baking

[Bubbsie]

Interesting about the sausages. I used to buy these ones from Aldi, but there carb content went up to around 3g per sausage, so went to Lidl or Tesco instead. Looks like they are now lower than they have ever been.

I've used those before Mark...because of the extremely low carb content (and they taste good)...odd it's now lower than it's ever been from recent memory.

 

[Mark Parrott]

The term <0.5g carb is usually used to denote the carb content is so small it can't be measured accurately, but not small enough to be zero. I read that somewhere, but can't remember where. So 6 of these will be less than 3g carbs.

Oh sod off Markyp...now you've set the cat among the pigeons.

 

[Mark Parrott]

Just read the packet again. Also says <0.5g carb per 100g (which is roughly 2 sausages), so the term used here means they are basically carb free as long as you don't eat a mountain of them.

Correct

Yes of course they will Carol...and some extra fibre too.

Well, made them last night, almost burnt out nutribullet grinding the nuts. They were quite crumbly, and don’t think I cooked them quite enough. Strange with sweetener but quite tasty. Would have another go and will manage to eat them. And BG lowest today for months so obviously no harm done

@Kaylz
Just had a couple for brekkie and they are really very nice.

 

[Vince_UK]

<0.5gr actually means "Less then but not greater than 0.5" or as Mark states cannot be measured because the value is so low so to cover themselves they put <0.5gr
whereas >0.5gr means "Great than but not less than"
Ok
We should move on now.

Blimey you're right Mark...just reread the packet...who'd have thought...definitely next time I'm in Aldi's stocking up

 

[Kaylz]

Thanks @Vince_UK I'll check the Aldi in the next town for these at the end of the month 🙂
Also thanks @Mark Parrott and Vince for agreeing that my maths is correct and they are less than 3g a pack xx

Looked for these, but the ones I found had 3 grm carb per sausage

 

[Radders]

I've not looked at the recipe so I don't know how much sweetener it uses but I'd say no and just go down to personal preference of a cheesy flavour, for me I would throw in a load of vintage or extra mature as I loves my cheese strong xx

I love cheese scones and generally double the amount of cheese in recipes.

Hmmm, I've just had a thought, we may not be able to get them up this way!! xx

I could arrange import for you of course for a very small fee.😉. Just to cover my costs of course non-profit making

Vince, when I do my legendary cheese scones, for family (I'm GF, so conventional recipes are off for me), I l aways add some grated parmesan, when I top the scones with cheese, as it gives a bit of zing, and crisps up wondererfully.
