Low Carb Baking

[Vince_UK]

Hadn't thought about a Low Carb Baker does he come with a Butcher and a Candlestick maker Free?

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?

I was a complete novice with home made custard. You hear of all the disasters of it turning into scrambled egg, but I must admit, it was quite easy. The keys is to not let anything boil & keep whisking without stopping. I don't think i've posted the trifle recipe on here, so I'll do it now.

Just made the batter for the toad in the hole. Used up the last of my vital wheat gluten. I'm getting through the stuff like anything!.

The bread looks great, @Bubbsie.🙂 Just had the toad in the hole. Wow! It turned out great! Even the missus gave it the thumbs up, though she thinks a few tweaks could make it perfect (typical Yorkshire lass).🙄

Told you it was good Mark...going to have a look for a decent rough puff pastry...pigs in blankets...sausage rolls...although my kitchen is running out of space with all these ingredients.

@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

I've got shortcrust pastry sorted, but my attempt to turn it into rough puff didn't work. It had the layers of rough puff, but was still pretty much very short.

Going to do some experimenting with this...I think we have the bread sorted out with various recipes...a good short crust pastry...trifle sponge...going to try a bran loaf with less bran today...and some egg substitute...flax seed (ground) soaked in water should be good...want to have it moist...will keep working on it...let you know.

It is a good bread Heath...possibly a little dry...going to experiment today...change some ingredients round...will get back to you on that.

For low carb ice cream just blitz frozen raspberries and double cream with a smidge if sweetener and that’s it.

I think I got the recipe from website Step Away From The Carbs. It wasn’t so nice when I made extra and froze some. Best thing is to make just enough for one meal each time. Very simple, apart from having to wash processor but Mr does that in our house

If I'm just making one portion...think I could do that in the Nutri-Bullet...then container would be just the right size for one...minimal washing up.

Sounds like a plan!
