Bread Success

Chicken and mushroom pie using shortcrust UF fiberflour for the base (no need to blind bake) then a "puff" pastry lid using a recipe off the QueenKeto website for keto flaky sausage rolls. The pastry comes out more like a very light flaky texture rather than puff pastry as such. The pie filling could be adapted from most chicken and mushroom pie recipes made from scratch just subbing UF fiberflour as appropriate. For my pie I just fried some mushrooms and a little onion. stirred in a tbsp of UF fiberfour, then chicken stock, a splash of double cream and a pinch of mixed herbs and white pepper, then mixed in chopped precooked chicken breast. Cool before using for the pie filling or the pastry will melt into it.

Hi everyone. My first attempt at writing a post after experimenting and using this lovely flour for the past six months - including mince pies at Christmas. Well my grandson wanted to make chocolate biscuits but being fussy only wanted to make with his normal flour. Since then I thought why not make some with fiberflour? So I did and now can't stop eating them! The only thing I find different is that they don't spread quite so well as with plain flour as they crumble a bit round the edges. Anyone any suggestions to improve this? My grandson aged 9 hasn't twigged yet!! My simple recipe is as follows: 114g softened butter 60g erythritol (or similar sweetener) 1/2tsp-1 tbsp vanilla extract (I put in 2 tsp) 90g ultra fine fiberflour 15g cocoa powder 1 tbs almond milk (or milk of choice) Mix butter, sugar, cocoa, vanilla essence and flour together (I do this by hand but can use a processor) add milk as required drop 20-25 drops onto baking sheet (according to the size you want) Bake at 170 degrees C (my oven is circotherm so may need to adjust setting) for 115-20 mins but monitor to avoid burning. Tip to crisp them up - TURN OFF oven and leave for about 5 mins Leave to cool then remove with spatula onto rack to finish cooling. THEN ENJOY! my calculations work out at just under 1 carb/biscuit for 20+ biscuits but it does depend on the cocoa etc that you use and I don't count sugar alcohols in erythritol. Hope this works for you.

To go with tonight's steak dinner. I used a standard recipe just subbing regular flour with fiberflour. I deep fried for 3 minutes then 10 mins in a medium oven to stop it from over browning. Had a sneak preview of a petal or two and it's very nice!
