flaxseed meal is used like flour?
Hi,
I had a low-carb recipe calling for flaxseed meal which I used it for now I am wondering if it can be used like flour. For example I want to make beef patties today with 1.5 pounds of ground beef I have. I'd add in some eggs and then some flaxseed meal? or would that not work? Would it be interchangeable 1 to 1 with flour? Thanks for your input. Ben |

You can add in some almond flour too -- it might help with consistency. Ground flaxseed is good for you (much, much moreso than regular flour), so try to use it if you can. or would :: that not work? Would it be interchangeable 1 to 1 with flour? I don't know about 1-to-1, but it can't hurt to try. You're only putting a meal or two at risk, and you'll learn something in the end. :: :: Thanks for your input. :: Ben |

Where did you get your flaxmeal? If it's Bob's Red Mill, there should be
info on the package about flour replacement. I also remember, dimly, something about flaxmeal and water making a paste that can be used as an egg substitute. HTH Steve "Ben" wrote in message ...

In the end I used 3 tablespoons of flaxseed meal, 1.5 pounds of minced meat, an egg, salt, pepper and some chopped up mushrooms. The family liked it but I found it personally lacking on the flavour side. Next time I might also add some onions (or onion powder) too. I should really look at what they put in the non-low-carb recipes so I can copy to some degree. regards, Ben |

try adding either some "seasoning salt" or some "Italian seasoning" with
some grated parmesan cheese. garlic salt will also add some nice flavor as well. Eddie 338/329/180 "Ben" wrote in message ... Scionyx wrote: Where did you get your flaxmeal?
