A Fantastic Flour Mix

[rosethorns]

I make the donut holes alot. Love them

My DH is starting to feel sugar is not good. So I used my plastic thingy to squirt s/f bannana pudding in his donut holes. He likes them so much. He want me to use vanilla pudding and make Boston cream pie donuts. Dip in chocolate.

Awww mine too!!

I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned or not but I just thought of something else you may want to change from the original mix.
I think most of use are using natural whey instead of vanilla so it can be used for sweet and savory recipes. So I think so far, the only changes would be the sweetener and whey.

I would prefer that a whey isolate be used, I believe that it has less or sometimes no lactose and is pure protein. That would make it good for people who are lactose intolerant.

Take out the sweetener, and use natural whey isolate and you have a winner, IMHO

It will me too. My container at home is labeled FFM and I preface any recipe I copy with them same initials.

Can't believe this may eventually be available on the market.

Pegy, that is a beautiful roll but with the addition of 2T of butter and 1T cream, it isn't the caloric bargain of the original.

You can try leaving the butter and cream out and use extra liquid of your choice. Of course it won't taste anywhere near as good as Peggy's recipe.

Ah, sorry, I didn't read every post since that was suggested. I'll start referring to it by the new name then, Ouiz.

Ouiz, that seed mix is great on rolls or in/on your low-carb crackers, too. We just LOVE it! That little twang of onion is so good with the earthy/nutty taste of the other seeds.

You're so sweet, Beverly. You warm a girl's heart and make taking the pics worthwhile. I sure hope you like the taste of the seed mix on the base roll. We sure did, drenched in more butter, of course.

I agree, your pics always make thinks look outrageously good!! There's quite a few people in here that post the best pics of food. I wish I had a better camera and technique but I just use my little iPod camera lol

Well, no, it wouldn't be as low cal for sure.

I didn't even calculate the numbers on the dinner roll, since I wasn't putting any of my BTF creations on my website (just in this thread of experiments). I wouldn't want to post any of them on my website until Ouiz carries her dream to fruition and gives the go ahead so I can refer to the mix by its final, official, patented? name. That way I can give credit and link to her site whenever I create something I want to publish using the mix.

Thanks Gina. As I always say, it's the Canon camera. I'm a dufus at photograpahy.

Just ran the numbers on the 8-seed Dinner Roll and the entire thing has: 340 cals, 31.6 g fat, 18.8 g carbs, 14.5 g fiber, 4.3 g Net Carbs and 7.5 g protein. But frankly, it was so filling, I had trouble eating a whole one and may adjust the recipe to produce a slightly smaller dinner roll, say 2/3 this size for me would be better.

Hang on to your hats kiddos lol I just made a pizza crust subbing the BTF for the coconut flour and protein powder in the healthified pizza crust recipe.

I will report back with the taste and all the info after we eat.

Here's a sneak peek. As you can see I like my pizza to be all toppings lol

[ouizoid]

oh Gina! I can't wait for the reviews!!!!!

[Brendajm]

BFF??? Oh duh. Better then flour.

[buttoni]

OMG that pizza looks sooooo PURDY.

[Soobee]

I made the BTF mix with whey protein. I loved it, but DH did not. We tried to figure out which ingredient was bothering him. It turned out to be the whey protein. My next BTF mix was made with pea protein. DH loved it. Pea protein is cheap and good for lactose intolerant folks. Maybe it would be a good choice for your final product, Ouizoid.

[buttoni]

Okey, Dokey. Better Than Flour is what I'm gonna start callin' it from now on.

[Ginaaaaaa]

The crust came out looking like real pizza crust on the bottom and was even crispy!! Best crust I have used yet! Nobody would ever know it was low carb if you didn't tell them. Another thing I really liked about this pizza is that the sauce doesn't seem to soak into the dough like it does with the Healthified pizza dough.

I made an Alfredo sauce( recipe below) using the Better Than Flour to thicken it and topped the pizza with bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms. It was soooooo gooooood!!!! You can use whatever sauce and toppings you like. I'm going to use this crust from now on.

Gina's Better Than Flour Pizza

1 1/4 Cup Better Than Flour Mix
3 Tbsp Psyllium Husk Powder
1/4-1/2 Tsp Salt (didn't really measure)
2 tbsp Grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tbsp of Basil
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Baking Powder
3 Large Eggs
1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine all dry ingredients and mix until blended. Add eggs and mix until well combined. Add boiling water and mix until dough thickens (I just use a fork to mix the eggs in then add water and mix until all the water is mixed in and the dough comes together). Place the dough on a piece of parchment cut to fit the pan and then put a piece of plastic wrap over the dough, pat it into a round and roll it out, I roll to about 1/8" and use a large cookie sheet. After its rolled out I top it with sauce, cheese and whatever toppings you like.

Place in oven and Bake for 25 minutes.

Alfredo Sauce

1 cup Cream
1/2-1 cup Fresh Parmesan
2 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Better Than Flour
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Sea Salt

Directions

Pour cream in a sauce pan, heat on medium/low until it comes to a soft boil, put in 2 tbsp butter and let it melt then add grated fresh Parmesan. Then put 2 tbsp of Better Than Flour in a small bowl and add enough sauce to make it thin enough to pour into the sauce in the pan. Stir until thickened, and take off heat.

Someone else was talking about pea protein and I want to try it. I don't get any funny tastes with my protein powder, I use Now Protein Isolate, but I would like to try the pea protein to see if its better. You're right though, it does sound like the best option for lactose intolerant people.

[Tweaker Geek]

Wow, that looks great, Peggy!

Sorry, this is posted in the wrong thread-

Whoops, no it isn't its' the right thread, the post I'm replying to is Peggy's 8 seed biscuit, guess it's a page back and I got confused when I saw where this was posted - LOL, I guess I'm getting tired!

[Tweaker Geek]

Can you help me?

I've been out of the loop since my operation. I missed the entire saga of
the Fantastic Flour Mix or Better than FLour Mix?? I've got to stay inside
and my face will take a time to heal. I had a cancer operation. There are
38 pages on this thread and I wondered if someone would lead me where
I can make up a larger batch than on the first page? I see pizza crusts, and
doughnuts and all this good stuff. Quizoid you are a genius and so are the
rest of you all.

Hey everyone I messed up in my first post, its supose to be 2 tsp Baking powder. I've asked Cheri to fix it for me but I wanted to let you know.

Sorry about that!!

[Brendajm]

Ginaaaa, you didn't cook the crust first before adding toppings??
