soy flour

I saw soy flour at the store. I am a newbie, but have read a little about using this instead of flour. Is this okay to use? To what proportion do you replace the flour? Any side effects?

I haven't used it myself, but I did see this recipe on the recipe board that I've been wanting to try.

I use soy flour to bread my chicken. I dump about 1/4 cup in a bowl, add it to a couple of beaten eggs and voila. It doesn't get crispy but I'd rather have that than naked chicken!

Wow! Thanks for the yummy recipe. I saw the soy flour in the bulk section for$1.49/lb. Thought that sounded pretty cheap. Does anyone know what the conversion would be for baking? Are there any side effects?

Soy isn't necessarily good for you! It can have a negative impact on the Thyroid. Check out this article:

Some people don't mind those possible side effects. And, some people (me for one!) find the taste of soy absolutely revolting. Your taste buds may vary!
