Lo-carb batter???

[Patch]

Does such a thing exist? I'd love to be able to eat battered fish, or deep fried cheese, but you can't really do that without some kind of batter.

Has anybody made batter mix using almond flour? Can such a thing be done????

I am planning to try to make a batter with 1 tbsp soy flour, 1 tsp wheat gluten, 1 tsp ground almonds and some milk and sparkling water. I think the gluten is important to bind and provide some elasticity. If you were to use ground almond alone, the batter would be very brittle and crumbly and wouldn.t stick properly. To improve staying power one eggcould be added to the micture. I have made some pancakes with a similar ingredients and they worked ok.

not sure about these but it might work as a batter if you use low carb beer or fizzy water - and a bit less than stated in the instructions to give you the right consistency -instead of ordinary water? Maybe add some seasoning maybe?

All the best

Bottle of Deuchars.

Whisk in just enough flour to make it slightly sticky.

Dip in whatever takes your fancy - tonight its squid and salmon with small Chinese aubergines courgettes this house. Pak Choi and a few steamed carrots on the side.

Drain of the excess and deep fry - in this house virgin olive oil.

Not enough flour to make a carb of a difference but very thin translucent batter.

Taste and live.
