Low Carb Baking

[Sally W]

Cheese scones. I only made 6 this time decent sized ones. I think 10 are far to small.
No exploding butter either

Which recipe is this @Vince_UK ?

 

[Bubbsie]

Yes thanks I’ve noticed you are & didn’t mean to pester. There were a few more folk too so hoping they’ll repost them too, Much appreciated!

Not pestering in the slightest Sally...I think it's great we're finding alternatives to shop bought low carb & cakes...particularly after the LIDL roll fiasco...looking forward to the contributions from other members...good idea Sally.

Vince I've put this in the recipe section and cut & pasted a copy for Sally...have you eaten any yet?

 

[Vince_UK]

Well, I wouldn't say this was either a 100% success or 100% failure.
Made 6 rolls which are far to small and1 small loaf thingy.
It is edible but to much effort involved for the results.

Vince that looks okay...and as long as it's edible doesn't matter what it looks like...the rolls look fine too...first attempt...don't let it put you off...there are other breads that don't need as much proving...don't need any kneading...a short prove...then the oven...you have to try again🙂🙂🙂...I think you're doing really well.

I looked for that In Morrisons yesterday and couldn’t find it Vince, they had pumpernickel rolls that looked quite dense but no nutritional info on

There is either the Morrisons Protein Sally which mine here sells quite a lot of and the Hovis Lower carb, a little more expensive but just as good. Morrisons Protein 80p per loaf 16 slices excluding crusts. I seperate then into 2 slice bundles and freeze them and it lasts 6 days, The crusts I either have 1 individually of bin them.

ill check it out Vince thanks. I’m a bit fussy with chemicals which is why I loved the lidl rolls (like you still not forgiven them😉)

Low carb roll a little chewy so will not be doing that again but stil quite niceish. My OWN cheese scone was actually nice and a small chunk of Stilton. Plenty of butter of course.....
