Carbquik Carb counts

amount grams ounces net carbs

1 tsp......2...........0.07.....0.1

1 TBS......6..........0.21.....0.3

1/4 cup...27.5.....0.97.....1.5

1/3 cup...36........1.27......2

1/2 cup...56........1.98......3

2/3 cup...71.5......2.52.....4

3/4 cup...82.5......2.91.....4.5

1 cup......110........3.88....6.1

This information was corrected in March 2005. Carbquick has 13 carbs per cup.

Below is first an email I received directly from the Tova Company....the woman asked the President of the company while I was on the phone with them and he stated it was 13 carbs and then told her to send me the same email that they had just recently sent to another person asking the for the same information (Michelle)....

and then secondly an email from Chef Greg verifying the count of 13 carbs per cup in response to my email to him.

Just wanted everyone to have the correct information.

Dear Michelle,

Thanks for your confidence and kind words.

It is true that we are tweaking with the formula of Carbquik®. We have already removed all hydrogenated oils and trans-fats from the product, and we are coming out soon with an all-natural version of the product as well.

Regarding the carb count, since we have continuously improved the product, different versions of the product may have slightly different nutritional values as displayed on the packaging.

Our current product as shipped in all pack sizes has the following net carbs:

Per 1 oz. (28.35g.) 3.3g.

Per 1 cup (110g.) 13g.

I hope this helps

Subject: Carbquik is FANTASTIC! I have questions

Hi!

First, THANK YOU a thousand times for developing Carbquik, it is a WONDERFUL product and a Godsend to us low carbers!

We're puzzled over the nutrition labels of the boxes for biscuits. One label calls for 17 gm and the other 20 gm of mix.

Could you please send me a definitive nutrition breakdown (including net carbs) for 1 oz and 1 cup measures of just the mix? PLEASE! :-)

Also, we read somewhere that you were tweaking the mix's recipe to further reduce net carbs and/or calories? Are you? Did you? What were/will be the results?

Thank you for giving me your time.

Can you give me a correct carb count on say 1 cup of carbquick?

I have looked all over this board and can't seem to find it listed anywhere....on the box it talks about biscuits....

Just need to know how many carbs are in 1 cup of this great product...

Thanks!

Do you really like the Z-trim and do you use it alot? I am thinking of getting some Z-trim, Erythritol (need to know if this makes people stall) and some PolyD (although I still need to know if this makes people stall too). tia for any info

YUMMY!

No pics -- I ate it up too quickly!

Your counts will vary depending on how you count CQ. My counts:
1 biscuit: 80 cals. / 6 g fat / 18 carb / 15 fiber / 5 protein ecc = 3

[bybs54]

If you actually do all the calculations for the calories, ounces, etc etc....it comes out to around 12.7....thus the 13.

Here's the thread that this was basically debated on... Carbquick corrected carb count.....

I guess to me when the company president and the chef who does all their recipes tells me its 13....that's the figure I am going with.

Remember the La Tiara taco shell fiasco....box said it was 1 carb Netrition had it sent out to the lab and thus they are now labeled 4 carbs.

I just got through making this cake and it was absolutely the BEST! For those of you who use the Chef's Blend Lite Flour and Whey Low, you will love this one!! I would not use any other substitutions if you want it to turn out like mine did.

Cream Cheese Pound Cake

3 cups Carbquik
1-1/2 cups Whey Low Granulated
1/8 tsp. Sweetzfree
¾ c. butter, softened
½ cup Chef’s Blend Lite Flour
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. lemon extract
dash salt
6 eggs
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
Powdered Whey Low, if desired

1. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour 12-cup bundt cake pan or 2 loaf pans, 9x5.3 inches, or tube pan.

2. Beat all ingredients except powdered sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan. (I just dumped everything in my mixer bowl and did just what they said. It turned out great!)

3. Bake 55 minutes (I baked mine 50 min. but I think it could have stood just a few more minutes. No more than 5 though.) or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 5 min. Turn pan upside down onto wire rack or heatproof serving plate; remove pan. Cool cake completely, about 1 hour. Sprinkle with powdered Whey Low.


This cake was absolutely DELICIOUS. Very moist and tastes just like regular pound cake. I used the recipe from the Betty Crocker’s Bisquick Cookbook but added the lemon extract, Sweetzfree, Whey Low, and Chef’s Blend Lite Flour as substitutes. It turned out EXCELLENT. I would not use any other substitutions if you want it like a real cake.

I posted this recipe with it's own thread but decided it would be good to post it here as well.


Recipe: Zucchini Slice

This is sort of quiche like and makes good size serving portions and very LC. Tastes great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It is so fast & easy to make & very very tasty! Just wanted to share.
Julie

ZUCCHINI SLICE

14 oz. zucchini (unpeeled & coarsely grated)
1 lg. onion (finely chopped)
6-8 slices bacon (RAW & finely diced)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 cup CARBQUICK (original recipe used self rising flour)
1/2 cup oil (1/4 cup is fine though & what I used)
5 eggs (lightly beaten)
Salt & Pepper to taste (I went easy on the salt because CQ is a bit salty)

In lg. bowl combine zucchini, onion, bacon, cheese, CQ, oil & eggs. Pour into a sprayed baking dish (9x13). Bake at 350 about 30 - 45 minutes or until golden brown on top & center is set.
Serves 6-8 with nice size portions.

If counting CQ as 13 net carbs.... I think it would have somewhere around 3-3.5 carbs per serving based on 8 servings. Maybe someone can figure it up


I had some that was NON LC & it was nice with some whole kernel corn & bit of grated carrot added to it.

I may try adding some chopped ham or chicken, mushrooms & more savory spices next time just to make it more of a main meal type dish for a change.

[cgarza]

I saw Rachael ray make these scones on 30 MINUTE MEALS yesterday. I then make them using CARQUIK instead of biscuit mix. I didn't measure the carbquick, but the final consistency is a thick but light dough that you can easily form into big mounds. These scones were GREAT!!!!

Rosemary and Ham Scones
1 box biscuit mix (recommended: Jiffy) USE CARBQUIK, probably about 2 cups
3 tablespoons finely chopped rosemary, 4 small stems (I used less)
1/2 cup cream
A couple pinches salt
3 pieces deli-sliced glazed smoked ham, chopped, about 1/8 pound (I used cooked chopped bacon instead)
1 tablespoon orange zest (I used tangerine zest instead)
2 teaspoons sugar (I did NOT use any sugar OR artificial sweetener)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix together biscuit mix, rosemary, cream, salt, ham and orange zest. Pile mixture into 4 large mounds or 8 small mounds onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little sugar and bake. Bake scones for 10 to 12 minutes for large scones, 7 to 8 minutes for small scones.

EnJOY!!!

Ok i made the pecan cake ...said to cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After 45 minutes it looked way done , so i took it out. It was too dry!

Any suggestions? I put a pan of water on the rack below the cake...follow all directions. My baking powder expired 2 yrs ago!!! just noticed it after imade the cake...could this have been a problem?


It was kind of expensive to make, and tasted fine, but to dry...which made it not so good. Would have been 100% better with some moisture!

HELP!!!

[Sugar Patrol]

Did you use Polyd? Everything I've tried with Polyd has been nice and moist. I guess you could try adding more liquid or fat too if you don't have any polyd.

[Charski]

Cover it and put it in the fridge. Mine seemed more moist the next day.

[lgpars]

Sugar Patrol, glad you enjoyed the pound cake. I think it is the "bomb." My cleaning lady had a piece of it today and she could not believe it was sugar free. She said it was wonderful. I think next time I try it I am going to try doing half Carbquik and half Chef's Lite and add a little more leavening to see how it does. Except I don't know how much more leavening to put in it. ??? Anyone got any suggestions. I have a regular pound cake recipe...maybe half of what it uses? I know the Carbquik has some in it.

[theislandgirl]

We've been having a LOT of fun on another forum with "Bowl Muffins", an assemblage started by NancyLC, for which the "rules" are, basically: use one bowl, some carbquik and a microwave! Other ingredients can of course be added for flavouring and texture, etc. (if you want the link, I'll happily plug it in here, any Forum Rules I'm breaking if I do?).

There's a whole lot of variety, ranging from Sage and Chopped Chicken through Egg & Bacon "McBowlMuffin" but today I was playing with Lemon and wanted to share this one with y'all ... I really like it, hope you do, too!

                      CQ Bowl Muffin - Lemon Butter

Serving Size  : 4 
Preparation Time :0:10
Categories    : 00-05G,  DaVinci Gourmet SF Syrup, Muffins

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2 1/2    tablespoons  fresh lemon juice -- 1 small lemon
  1         tablespoon  lemon zest -- same lemon
  2        tablespoons  syrup, sf DaVinci Lemon
  1              whole  large eggs, veggie-fed free-range

  15             grams  butter -- 1 Tbsp
  1         tablespoon  syrup, sf DaVinci Lemon

Using a small to medium size microwave proof bowl ('tupperware' style works well and is very "nonstick", just pops out when warm), beat together the lemon, syrup and egg til well-blended.

Spoon in the CQ and the baking powder, then stir together til smooth and evenly blended.

Microwave for 2 minutes (1000 watts, turntable) or til firm to the touch on top.

Poke or score the top (still in the bowl and still warm) and lightly spread the butter so it melts in; tip out onto a small plate and then score the 'new' top into quarters or eighths (finger food size) and drizzle the final tablespoon of DaVinci Lemon flavour syrup.


Scarf while still warm!

-Bake in 375 degree oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.

How do you get potato water if you don't have or eat them anymore? There is no way i'm buying spuds cooking them then throwing them away. Thats asking for trouble if you ask me.

[Pam]

This is an old recipe that I found made with Bisquick. I changed it to make a lower carb dessert. It's very tasty and really crisp. I don't know the carb count, though.



CHERRY CRUNCH

1 ½ to 2 c. Carbquik
1/3 c. Polydextrose
2/3 c. sugar substitute (I used 1 t. Trishz’s Liquid Splenda & 1/3 c. Erythritol)
¾ t. cinnamon
1 egg
1/3 c. Crisco (green can….0 transfats)


1 can (21 oz.) Comstock (no-sugar added) cherry pie filling



Heat oven to 400 degrees. Mix all ingredients except pie filling. Grease a square pan, 9 x 9 x 2 in. Spread the pie filling over the bottom. Crumble dough over the pie filling. Bake about 30 min.

[theislandgirl]

Just made this last night, wanted a dessert to use up some very ripe fruit I had sitting around, needing to be taken care of...and I was in the mood for baking.

It's mildly sweet (good for breakfast) and net 10g per serving (mostly the fruit I think).

OMG!!! i made the pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting that dbrown8614 posted on page 6 and they are WONDERFUL!!! i must admit i was a bit skeptical about the kahlua syrup in them but i stuck with the recipe and was very happy. they're even more delicious cold and i'm anxious to see what a night in the fridge would do to them...more flavourful?? anyway,this is a keeper for sure! thank you, jannis!!! (yes, i know i swore i wouldn't make these for a while yet! lol)

-letty

btw, i added a little bit of sweetener to the frosting bc none was listed and i assumed that it would need something. also, i baked mine for about 30 minutes...until a knife came out clean.

**anybody have any ideas on a carbcount for this recipe?

[LaJavaBleue]

I made the carbquick brownie recipe today....i must have done something wrong because they came out kind of bitter and dry.

[hirezmary]

You probably did the CQ brownie recipe fine. Unfortunately not all the suggested recipes turn out well. Pie crusts and biscuits come out wonderful, but not their brownies. There are however several excellent recipes using other ingredients out here on the forum.

[ataran]

No doubt you could find the precise directions at www.foodnetwork.com

[NotoSugar]

Here is the original recipe from Paula Deen:

1 (1-pound) package ground sausage
3 cups baking mix (recommended: Bisquick)
4 cups grated sharp Cheddar
1/8 tablespoon pepper

Dip:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.

Combine all ingredients in a large glass bowl. Mix well with your fingers. The mixture will be very crumbly. Form into 1 inch balls, squeezing the mixture so it holds together, then rolling it between the palms of your hands to form balls.

Place the balls on the baking sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. To prevent sticking, move the balls with a spatula halfway through cooking.

To make the dip, combine the mayonnaise and mustard. Serve with sausage balls.

[magnamater]

I make these sausage balls, a double recipe, then keep in the freezer. I pop a few in the microwave when we are hungry and nothings ready.

Well, the idea was to have them ready for the holidays, but I will run through those, and have to make them again.

I plan on making 2 kinds, one regular, the other with Italian sausage and Italian cheeses in the bags.

[kcduffer]

Another version of this recipe is in the 'recipe room'. It's at http://www.lowcarbfriends.com/recipe...8/cat/2/page/3 I've made this up several times and sure like it. I credit TigerSmoke with this recipe.

I think if I tackled Popovers using Carbquik, I'd add some Gluten to it, to help trap the steam, and puff up the popovers. Just a thought.
