soy flour - Gag me with a ginzu!!

Ok, I found the soy flour in the bulk section of our grocery store. I
substituted ALL of the flour in my brownies with the soy. It was
disgusting. It was NOT edible. Threw out the entire batch.

I need reccommendations on using soy!

It's gross. No matter how much you cook it, too, it never tastes
"done". It has this raw, undercooked, acidy taste that's gross.

First recommendation - throw the soy flour in the trash. Get soya powder
instead for recipes that require soy flour. Soya powder is made from
cooked soybeans, and has a less objectionable taste. You'll probably
have to get it at a natural foods grocery.

If you're going to substitute soys for flour in ordinary recipes,
it's probably not going to come out well if you substitute more than
about half of the flour. I've made some successful reduced-carb (not
exactly low carb) versions of family favorites, subbing half the flour
and Splenda for sugar.

As to brownies, here's a copy of Myra's recipe, which uses
ground almonds and not soy. I grind sliced almonds in a little
electric coffee grinder. (and although I usually like very dark
chocolate, I find 3 oz baking chocolate plenty, and 4 to be
rather bitter in this particular recipe.)


CHOCOLATE-WALNUT BROWNIES

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups Splenda
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons cream (or water or coffee)
1 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8x8 square pan.

In a mixer, cream together the butter and Splenda. Add the eggs, one
at a time, incorporating well. Add the vanilla and cream, blending
well. In a small bowl, mix together the almond flour, xanthan gum,
salt and baking soda. Add the almond flour mixture to the butter
mixture, alternating with the chocolate. Fold in the nuts. This
makes a very stiff batter - almost dough-like.

Spread the batter in the greased pan, and baking for about 15 minutes,
or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Cut into 16 1-inch
squares.

Makes 16 servings, 3.38 carbs per serving.

Is there anything that will mask the soy taste?
Everything that I eat that is soy based has the same icky
taste. I have never been able to remove said taste.

That's why I suggested only replacing part of the flour with soy flour. : )
Try replacing 1/4th first, then 1/3, but I wouldn't go more than that.

Okay, sorry. I am laughing my ass off.

Seriously, I made a similar mistake years ago. Think of it this way. Soy
is a legume. Flour is made from grains. They do not behave the same in
recipes.

Wanna add protein. Try adding a tablespoon of powdered milk. If that makes
no appreciable difference, try another. Keep going until you find out how
much FF powdered milk you can add.

What kind of fat is in the recipe? Try substituting half of it with peanut
butter.

Adding soy is still a very good idea. However, I would try substituting 1/8
of the recipe with soy initially. Then I would add more until the texture
and taste became noticeable.

Of course, if you are like me and have the perfect desert recipe, don't mess
with it! Save it for special occasions and find something new for when
calories are important.

You substituted all the flour in your recipe with Soy?
