Plain flour

[frenchie45]

Is is alright to use plain flour in cooking, if you are not allowed to have white bread?

Also, how do you add your location to profile?

Thanks.

We use white flour when making cheese sauce for our salmon. I've calculated that the flour component has less then 2g of carb and then it gets mixed with fats (butter, milk). It doesn't tend to spike me - probably all the fats mixed in with it.

Could you use wholemeal flour?🙂

Yes but white sauce isn't so white!
(and cakes, scones bread, if you make them, can be heavier)

I still can't make white sauce without lumps, even with white plain flour - so my partner makes cauliflower cheese, and he can't cook rice, so I do that. All other things, we can both cook equally well. Cauliflower cheese is our one regular meal that doesn't need an insulin injection 🙂

Some things, like cheese sauce, just aren't worth making with wholemeal flour, I reckon. For baking cakes & scones, we usually use half wholemeal, half white flour.

If you use cornflour, instead of plain flour, you will get a mornay, rather than a bechamel sauce.

There are plenty of alternatives to wheat flours.....
