bake mix without soy?
I've been looking at messages about Atkins Bake Mix clones on
google. Are there any recipes that don't involve soy? What are soy isolate powder and soy powder? Are they the same thing? Ignorant question: are they the same as soy protein powder? And what about the GNC bake mix. Any soy-less clones for that? I am asking because I just got a book out of the library, and the recipes rely heavily on those mixes--and I've read SUCH bad things about them and the nasty taste of soy flour. Otherwise, I don't mind using SOME soy products, but I am a bit leery of ODing on it. Thanks. -- Jean B. |

The faq on the web site makes it sound like it can replace regular flour in recipes; the only adjustment you have to make is to use less liquid than you otherwise would. They also say "In Low Carbohydrate cooking or baking we have discovered, that it can be used full strength, to replace flour, almond flour or meal, flax meal, soy flour, soy, whey or egg protein isolate powders and wheat gluten." It was pretty expensive, but I decided to give it a try. (Haven't gotten it yet, so I can't report on it.) Em |

bake mix without soy?
I absolutely hate the taste of soy flour but through trial and error I have
discovered that when converting recipies to lo-carb if it doesn't call for egg and milk then I won't even try it. the following recipe for "Yummy Soy Waffles" is loved by my grandsons who like spending the night because they get waffles in the morning; they don't know the difference. Yummy Soy Waffles 13/4 c. soy flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbs. splenda 3 eggs (separated) 5 tbs. oil 1/2 c. water 1 c. cream sift flour with baking powder, salt, and splenda. Beat well 3 egg yolks, add oil, water and milk. make hole in center of dry ingredients, pour in liquid ingredients, mix to a pebbled look batter. beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. cook in waffle iron. my calculations give me 36 carbs whole batch my waffle iron makes 4 whole waffles=9 carbs for 1 whole= ea. quarter is 2.25 carbs "Jean B." wrote in message ...

I wonder if they have it at Low Carb Heaven? -- Jean B. |

I just know if it doesn't list dairy or egg as an ingredient it is going to taste like soy and I can't handle that. At the moment I am making some croutons from the soy waffles and have the cubes drying in the oven. Trying to come up with a dressing recipe for turkey. bc |

Semi-relatedly, I found the Arnold low-carb bread today. I am not into eating ANY bread now, but I bought a loaf because I want the store to see it selling. I'll put it in the freezer. Maybe it would be useful for Thanksgiving--or croutons, which I don't eat frequently. I just don't want to start thinking I can have sandwiches, which would lead to a sandwich binge, no doubt. -- Jean B. |

I bought some yesterday, the whole wheat, served it to my hubby today in a sandwich.
