0 Comments

 
  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 5 tbsps ground psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tsps apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 1/4 cups boiling water

INSTRUCTIONS:

Prehead oven to 350 degrees F .  Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.

Bring the water to a boil and add it, the vinegar and egg whites to the bowl, while beating with a hand mixer for about 30 seconds.  Don't over mix the dough, the consistency should resemble play-doh

Moisten hands and form dough into 4 - 8 pieces of bread.  You can also make hotdog or  hamburger buns.  Place on a greased baking sheet.

Bake on the lower rack for 50-60 minutes, depending on the size of your bread.  They are done when you hear a hollow sound when tapping the bottom of the bun.

Serve with butter and topping of your choice.  Store in the fridge or freezer.

TIP!!

Sprinkle seeds on the bread before you pop in the oven, - poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or flakes, herbs, garlic etc.  

If you make this recipe into 6 pieces of bread they each contain about 2 grams of carbs.

0 Comments

 
Makes 6 large or 8 medium biscuits.
INGREDIENTS:
  • 6 Tbsps unsalted butter
  • 2 Cups all purpose flour, plus a little more for dusting
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 C buttermilk plus a little more for brushing
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Freeze the butter - Cut the butter into small chunks and place in the freezer.  Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.  Get out equipment and ingredients, leaving the butter in the freezer and the buttermilk in the refrigerator
  2. Blend the dry ingredients. place flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.  Cover and pulse 4 or 5 times to mix.  Alternatively, whisk in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  3. Add the butter - Remove the butter from the freezer and add it to the flour mixture. Cover and pulse 6-8 times or until the mixture is crumbly and the largest pieces are no bigger than a pea.  Alternatively, work the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, a fork or your finger tips.
  4. Add the buttermilk. Pour in the buttermilk, cover and pulse 4 or 5 times or until the mixture just comes together.  It should not be completely blended but looks like gravel.  Alternatively, stir until the liquid is just barely incorporated and a rough mass is formed.
  5. Shape the dough. Sprinkle your counter with a little flour and dump the contents of the food processor out on top.  Working quickly, gather the shaggy mass together, pressing it lightly to form a rectangle.  Cut into 3 even sections and pile each section on top of the other.  Using the heel of your hand, quickly and firmly press the sections together.  Repeat once.
  6. Roll and cut the dough.  Roll the dough into a thick rectangle, about 1/2 inch thick.  Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 6 pieces for larger biscuits or 8 pieces for smaller biscuits
  7. Bake:  Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet.  Paint the top of the biscuits with a little buttermilk.  Bake for 12 minutes or until puffed and golden-brown
  8. Cool: Remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool  Serve fresh.

How to make a quick & easy buttermilk substitute

9/9/2018

0 Comments

 
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 scant cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Combine the milk and lemon juice.  Measure 1 scant cup of milk.  Stir in 1 Tbsp of lemon juice or white vinegar.
  2. Let stand 5 - 10 minutes.  let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes.  When it is ready, the milk will be slightly thickened and you will see small curdled bits.  This substitute will not become as thick as regular buttermilk; you will also not notice the curdled bits in your finished recipe.
  3. Use the buttermilk.  Use this substitute (including curdled bits) as you would buttermilk in your recipe
Other buttermilk substitutes:
  • ​Mix 3/4 C plain yogurt with 1/4 C water to thin, use as you would buttermilk
  • Mix 3/4 C sour cream with 1/4 C plain water to thin.  Use as you would buttermilk
  • Mix 1 cup of milk with 1 3/4 tsps cream of tartar.  Let stand 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened and curdled.

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar

Preheat oven to 325 F pray a standard 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick spray and sprinkle lightly with flour.In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.  Then beat in the eggs and vanilla.  Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.  Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the flour and buttermilk, alternating each, until all incorporated.  Finally beat in the lemon zest before turning the mixer off.  Use a spoon then stir in half the blueberries.
  2.  Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and sprinkle the remaining blueberries over the top.  Bake 60-80 minutes until toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before flipping onto a cooling rack.  DO NOT try flipping the cake any earlier than 20 minutes, or the cake will stick.  Promise!  Waiting 30+ minutes is safeer.

Once the cake is cooling on the rack, mix the oat crumble.  Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and pinch with your fingers to blend the ingredients and break into small pieces.  Sprinkle the mixture over a baking sheet and bake in the heated oven for 5-10 minutes.  Cool on the baking sheet before proceeding
