I need reccommendations on using soy! 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. Myra Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason. - Unknown __________________________________________________ __ Please direct e-mail to myra [at] primenet [dot] com -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

soy flour - Gag me with a ginzu!!
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. "determined" wrote in message ... "rosie read and post" wrote in message ...

I need reccommendations on using soy! det 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? j |
