Cleochatra's Revoloopsie Rolls (home-made hamburger buns and more)
The recipe looks fantastic, but I'm curious about the taste. Has anyone tried them yet, if so, how are they?
Considering they're made with cream cheese, do they taste cheesey. Dumb question, I know but I don't how else to phrase it.........![]() The Lighter Side of Low-Carb: Better-Than-Ever-Best-Yet Revolution Rolls! |

Here is a picture tutorial for the recipe I just added!
It's probably cheating to answer to the flavor, but the extra cream cheese really adds a 'fullness' in both flavor and in texture. They're really surprisingly wonderful! My kids keep stealing them to make sandwiches with and to eat plain. I'm going to have to become a baker in order to keep up with the demand. Comments from picky kids: "Deeelicious!" "They're really good and they don't break." "They're light and fluffy and didn't taste like vegetables." "They're kind of sweet which is good."

Okay, Cleo.
I'm making them today but I'm apprehensive because I'm not a huge fan of cream cheese. If the kiddies love them, then they have to be good. |

You won't barf from the cream cheese. You most likely won't even taste it. To me, it adds richness and sweetness, but it's not like a cream cheese danish or anything. I think it really is just there to keep the buns supple so that they won't fall apart and crumble.
I didn't know they'd be such a huge hit with the kids and the hubby, but the kids seriously just sat down and ate a half dozen of my buns just now (I just made a new batch)! My husband eats them plain, and so does my son. They now say they want sandwiches made from them! My kids are super-picky (of of them was just diagnosed as high-functioning autism), and so for them to prefer these to bread is pretty huge. Last edited by cleochatra; 01-04-2008 at 01:14 PM.. |

Me too....except I am afraid to go for another round. I want rolls so badly, not pancakes. Is that too much to ask????
![]() As far as the taste, who knows, I am not a pancake fan so the look of them as pancakes was not for me. And mine were definetly not light and cheewy looking, more dense and solid. ![]() |

You see the really skinny spoon I use to work the ingredients in? I very slowly make "S" shapes in the batter with my tall, skinny spoon.
Again, I'm in Denver in a very dry climate, so that could have some effect on the recipe. I'm glad the pictures give more of an idea! |

Sugarless4life they look yummy and real buttery. Hmmm! ARe they the consistency of bread/muffin? What do they taste like?
Awww shucks! I just noticed that I need cream of tartar. What the heck? I never knew it existed. Hopefully, they'll have it at Ralph's or maybe somebody can email some to me. LOL I wish it were that easy. Last edited by Tommyswife; 01-04-2008 at 03:32 PM.. |

You could probably make it sans sweetener if you wanted to. I haven't tried it. Good to see you, BTW!
