Low Carb Baking

[Bubbsie]

I particularly miss baked products & food stuffs...so doing some research that will fill that gap for me...I'm starting off with a low carb batter mixture that is perfect for Yorkshire puddings...sausage toad.

This is what we had yesterday.

The Recipe:

2 Tablespoons of Soya Flour
2 Tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten
A pinch of salt
A half cup of full fat milk (although I have used skimmed milk before & it was fine)
2 medium eggs
Whisk all the ingredients together, then set the mixture aside for a while, the longer the better, I left mine overnight.
Partially cook the sausages or whatever you are using for the filling, I used sausages & crispy bacon in this one.
Make sure your oil is piping hot, put the sausages into the oiled pan, pour the batter over it evenly, in the oven at 200c for twenty minutes, please check throughout the cooking since oven temperatures vary.

Thank you for posting this, I think I will give this a try.

Thanks @Bubbsie, I really enjoyed the toad in the hole. I think I will try some sweet or savory pancakes next.
Last week, with the weather going in the right direction I had a go at making basic low carb ice cream. I consider that a work in progress.
@Mark Parrott, I would like to make trifle but am troubled by the lack of custard making skills. I saw the photograph of trifle you posted and could see a future project. I am having jellied fruit with whipped cream at lunch time. Low carb custard?

He had never made custard before Benny & did a great job of it...don't let the thought put you off...I'm sure he posted his recipe somewhere... where are you @Mark Parrott ?

I'm hooked on it Lorraine...it about the nearest I could get to a good low carb batter...actually it comes courtesy of @Marsbartoastie...she's the genius behind it.

Taking Harry for a walk...then going to have some low carb savoury pancakes for lunch...will post some photos...providing they are edible.🙄.

Okay just eaten the low carb pancakes for lunch...surprisingly good...an absolute doddle to make...I had them with cottage cheese & crispy bacon....but equally good for sweets desserts...recipe below
Ingredients
3 eggs
44g soy flour
150 g full fat Greek yogurt
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. olive oil
20g fructose ( I used xylitol if you use this or one of the other sugar substitutes use only 10 g )
For savoury pancakes omit the fructose/xylitol.

Preparation

Mix all the ingredients well and allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes.2. Heat small amount of olive oil (1 tsp. or using olive oil in spray is quite handy) on the medium heat. Pour about 2 tbsp. of batter on the hot pan and spread evenly. Pancakes should be about 10 cm in diameter.3. Fry about 30 second each side until golden brown

I'm sure these can be used as wraps too...just make them larger & take care as they can easily burn if you take your eye off the ball.

3.8g carbs per pancake

 

[Bubbsie]

That looks really tasty. I shall definitely have a go. Thanks. Keep the experiments going. Well done

Benny it was delicious...if you do the sweet ones you need to make them really thin...pour the batter into the pan and spread it a bit...I have some mixture left...will try some sweet ones when I get home from work with extra thick cream.

[Bubbsie]

Vince you should...as I keep saying it is so easy...the hardest part is assembling all the ingredients...I use a combination of Amazon & BULK POWDERS...I check on Amazon first then look at bulk powders...sometimes the product is cheaper on B/P but with the postage it can work out better with Amazon where I have Prime so get free priority next day delivery.

You should heath...I had four small ones with the cheese & bacon...about 14g carbs...now I'm really full up...so filling...going to try to make large ones to use as wraps...think that might take a bit of experimenting...I love bread...pancakes...missed them so much...this is a great substitute for me.

 

[Heath o]

Oh that sounds nice I love wraps,not experimented with low carb breads can't get the ingredients, asda only just started selling burgen bread,lol

I get all my ingredients online Heath...you wouldn't get a lot of them in the supermarket anyway.

 

[Kaylz]

@Heath o as @Bubbsie has mentioned you could easily order the ingredients online, there are a whole load of websites that sells the products
For anyone interested I came across this website yesterday, there are some rather good looking recipes on there
