The ad on the web site that says "no trans fats" is referring to Carbolose flour in general, not the bake mix. I just ordered a 5-pound box, but when I found out it does contain trans fat, I cancelled my order. For a company like Netrition to be concerned about health and ignore the danger of trans fats is rather ridiculous.

I thought they took the trans-fats out of the bake mix?

There is no trans fat in any version or size of Carbalose or Carbquik.

There never was any trans fat in these products since Netrition started carrying them.

Carbquik contains the following: Carbalose Flour (Enzyme-Enriched Wheat & Wheat Protein, Wheat Gluten, Wheat and Vegetable Fiber, High-Protein. Wheat Flour, Canola Oil, Salt, Emulsifiers, Enzymes, Ascorbic Acid, Sucralose, Calcium Propionate), Palm Oil, Buttermilk Powder, Baking Powder, Egg White Solids, Lecithin, Salt, Natural & Artifical Flavors.

I didn't read all the posts in the entire thread, so I obviously missed this information! Thanks! I was going to refuse delivery of the product in the next few days and have it returned to Netrition, but now I will anxiously await its delivery! I made garlic cheese biscuits with this mix, and everyone in the house loved them. They taste awesome.

5cats4me,

If you plan on subbing the evaporated milk you would need to use something like heavy whipping cream or increase your eggs. Regular milk even Carb Countdown just won't work.

3 cups Carbquik
2 sticks butter
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil

This recipe needs some tweaking still. I made it tonight and it was way too sweet. This is what I did...
I mixed the first 6 ingredients, poured it in the 9 X 13 pan, sprinkled 1 cup of Carbquik over the top and drizzled 1 stick of melted butter over the top. I baked it for 45 minutes, but it only needed 30 I think. Next time I make this I will use only 3/4 cup of splenda instead of 1 1/2 cups and I will dilute the evaporated milk to lessen the carbs. When it was done baking, I wasn't sure how to proceed, so I just made a mix of 1 cup carbquik, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup splenda, 1 cup carb countdown, and 1/3 cup oil to try and duplicate cake mix. It didn't work. I'd rather just eat it after the first baking and skip the 2nd part all together. My variation also added alot of carbs to the recipe. I'll let you know if I find the right combo of ingredients to make this yummy AND lowcarb!

Just to clarify, the hydrogenated part is what matters, so if it's fully OR partly hydrogenated, it's going to contain manufactured trans fats, just more or less of them.

Cranberry Shortcake Biscuits

Woo-hoo -they turned out great! Definitely going on the Thanksgiving table in place of dinner rolls!
(I'm thinking these would be great sandwich makers with leftover turkey, too).

Cranberry Shortcake Biscuits

Recipe By : Dottie
Serving Size : 12
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups Carbquick Baking Mix
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup Splenda Granular Sweetener -- divided
1 cup fresh cranberries
1 pinch nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup water
2 Tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons splenda Granular Sweetener

In a saucepan mix cranberries, 1/4 cup splenda and water. Bring to a simmer until the berries just start to pop. Mash lightly and set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350f. Spray a 12 muffin tin or a cookie sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
Mix Carbquick. nutmeg, cinnamon, remaining 1/2 cup splenda, baking soda and buttermilk. Fold in the cranberries and drop on cookie sheet or lightly roll into balls and place in muffin tin.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining splenda. Bake another 3-4 minutes until browned a little more.

Per Serving: 98 Calories; 6g Fat (40.0% calories from fat); 5g Protein; 14g Carbohydrate; 8g Dietary Fiber; 6mg Cholesterol; 94mg Sodium.

NOTES : *Add a few more tablespoons of buttermilk if needed.
**If you don't care for the taste of buttermilk, leave out baking soda and sub 1/4 cup heavy cream and 1/4 cup water mixed together for the buttermilk.

Edit to add: I probably did this the hard way. Folding the cranberry mixture into the dough was tough. Next time, I'll let the cranberry mixture cool completely and add the buttermilk to that, then add that to the dry ingredients.

Also: Might replace 1/2 the buttermilk with 1/2 cup pumpkin puree.

I tried my traditional biscuit recipe using carbquick and it did not rise (even adding a Tblsp of baking powder). It's a basic recipe, nothing tricky--flour, shortening, baking powder and I used hood carb countdown milk for the LC version instead of buttermilk. Do carbquick biscuits rise like regular biscuits for everyone else? I even tried a lower oven temp but it didn't help. I also noticed a kinda cornmeal taste to it.

I tried another with a combo of carbquick, carbalose and wheat gluten and it didn't have that cornmeal taste and rose a little (still not like regular biscuits though) but there's alot more carbs there.

Debbi, are you talking about Carbquik or Atkins Bake Mix? It sounded more like you might be talking about the Atkins Bake Mix.

[Debbi53]

I was meaning the low carb baking mix.. I have been using that.. its made by Bob's Red Mill?

LOW-CARB BAKING MIX
Bob's Red Mill Low-Carb Baking Mix can be used cup-for-cup in recipes calling for other brands of low-carb baking mixes. It is a delightful blend of all-natural ingredients, including high fiber oat bran, wheat bran, soy flour and whole grain flaxseed meal, so you can be sure that the few carbs you do eat are nutritious. It's incredible easy to use for making delicious pancakes, muffins, quick breads and more!


I did order a case but.. just waiting to get it.. it was on back order.. so now I have to wait until next tuesday to go get it.
For those in New York State.. I found mine for $3.99 for a lb pkg. a case was 15.96 .. but the shipping is what gets you.. I ordered it from an Amish store in that area..After ordering this.. I hope they keep it in stock.. I do have to pay $2.00 for shipping to the store but its still cheaper then getting it online .Well for me it is.. Its about a 40 minute drive to get there..

But back to the mix.. I thought perhaps I could make some .. just to hold me over until next week..
Thank you for offereing help on this..
Debbi~

I have just stared this Atkins diet will this Carbquik slow me down? I have only been on it a week I would like to try it if I could. Have you guys been buying iy at Krogers? Froggy

[lscoop]

I didn't find that CarbQuik slowed me down particularly, but each person is different. Some of the low-carb pastas, like Dreamfields, did slow me down somewhat. If you're just starting I would recommend that you go for a while without it, however, so that you can get a feel for how you are doing and get some real success. After that happens, you can add it in small increments to your diet and see what happens, and decide based on that how much or little you can use it. It's a great item to have on maintenance, but in your first phase I'd try to avoid it.

[murraychar]

I have used it a couple of times. Started out with half carbquik and half regular bisquik. Pancakes were good. Next time, it was 2/3 carbquik and 1/3 bisquik. We liked the pancakes. Next attempt will be the biscuits and pancakes without bisquik. Also found a great pancake syrup sweetened with Splenda. Tastes great!

What brand of syrup did you find please?

I am a diabetic and am wondering if any diabetics have tested their BGLs after eating Carbquick. I would like to try it, but want to make sure I wouldn't be wasting my money on something that shoots my blood sugar up, no matter what the label says. (I just had that happen with Dreamfields pasta.)

I am diabetic too and I've had no problems with Carbquick, but then, I've had no problems with Dreamfield's either. What did you eat with the pasta?

Unfortunately, different things effect us in different ways. What effects you may not effect me (and visa versa).

I only added butter to the pasta and ate nothing else with it. It raised my BGL around 50 points. It could have been more; I tested 2 hours before and 2 hours after eating what was advertised as 10g of "digestible carbs." 10g of carbs usually affects me very little, if at all, especially with the amount of fiber the pasta supposedly contains; the added fat should have slowed the glucose response, too.

I'd really like to try the Carbquick, but am leery of things that seem too good to be true. I try very hard to control my BGLs and hate it when products are falsely advertised. (I don't trust "net carb" counts; half of sugar alcohols count as carbs.) However, I have found some low carb things that live up to their low carb status and still taste good.

Maybe I'll start with a small package of Carbquick and test to see how it affects me. You're right that we all react differently to different things. I can't handle oatbran in more than microscopic amounts, yet I keep reading about how wonderful it is for diabetics.

Thanks for your input.

I am insulin dependent and CQ has never bothered me at all.

Dreamfield's however is another story. It raises me big time no matter how small of a portion I eat. I'm not one to try it once and if it raises me I don't eat it anymore rither. No matter how many times I've eaten it the first day I cooked it I shoot right on up. Now leftovers are a different matter. I have froze it and when I ate it a few days later I didn't have a big surge and a few times I even hypoed. Go figure...........................

I am Type I too and I have problems with soy and some of the other "flours" and nuts. I think it is very wise to keep away from the sugar alcohols. The entire concept is foreign to me. When I read the lablel and it says 9501 carbs - 9498 sugar alcohol and -2 net fiber = 1 net carb.... well, something is too good to be true there, at least for me.

I guess we all have to live and learn in what works for us individually. I haven't used the carbquick in some time now. I have been using the flour that is in carbquick. Sorry, I am at a loss for the name. I lost my mother 2 days ago and my mental functions are not their best.

I hope that you find something that works for you so that you can have a treat every now and then.
