hit the link above in the video and look at my updated Roux Have you tried and failed at making a low carb roux that tasted good. I have, several times. In this …
Although this might be great for keto folks, carb quick will hurt Celiac people as it is not gluten-free and full of wheat products.
Whai the secret (flour) product you are using?
What about arrowroot
Have you tried adding a touch of peanut butter, or nutmeg or something else to increase umami and nutty flavor? Tahini Paste may be a better option because of those with peanut allergies .
Carb Quick sounds like something I'll need to get in my pantry soon! I just got Xanthan gum and having so much fun making new recipes! Mainly using Xanthan gum and coconut flour atm for what I need, ran out of almond flour and I'm surprised to say I feel like I can do without!
Xanthum makes an awesome gravy😋
I have some gizzards in a crockpot smothered in Keto chicken gravy right now. I'll come back in 8-12hr for results.
New sub 😘
I made one with coconut flour and it was fine as long as the gumbo was hot. Once it get to room temp it’s no good. I’ve just been using okra.
At 5pm I finished my gumbo using Carbquik and let me share my findings.
I followed some of his gumbo techniques and some of my own.
2/3 cups oil
1 cup Carbquik
I always sift flour and Carbquik stuck to my dry sifter.
Oil in cast iron was heated until I saw a light smoke coming from pan.
At the 30 minute mark in my cast iron pan the Roux had a super rich dark looking almost black color but never thick. I used his meat slurry idea in the hopes it would get thicker.
It had a mild flour smell.
The taste was okay but still tiny little grainy pieces like when using gluten free flour. So far gluten free flour has the same taste as AP flour for a Roux but still tiny grainy pieces.
The Carbquik gumbo is okay but my 5 kids have not tasted it yet. That will be the real test. If they don’t taste a difference then I might keep this stuff for future roux recipes 😉
Anybody have some freezer friendly baking recipes using carbquik?
I will try this. I also plan to try lupin flour also.
What Fat did you use?
I'm just starting keto and I Got to have my gumbo! THANK YOU!!
I used ground flax to make roux
You added way too much xanthan gum. You should use less than a tablespoon per 1/2 cup of oil or butter. I’ve made dozens of rouxs with great success using xanthan gum.
I’m curious if you’ve tried the King Arthur low carb flour.
You need to use about 10 times less than what you did for xanthan gum…
I've tried to make a roux with all the options you showed in the past but never carbquick. I tried carbquick and everything was back to normal 👌 nothing works better. Thank you!
Dang…. I was hoping for a miracle. CarbQuick has a wheat base. People with wheat allergies cannot use this.
what kind of oil are you using?
Has anyone thought about using lupin flour to make a roux?
You can use xanthan gum to thicken gumbo after it cooks
Making this and a gumbo today thank you. And happy thanksgiving
Great video. Thank you
wtf is carb quick?
Never heard of Carb Quick…thanks so much for the heads-up…sounds like I'll be making biscuits and gravy this weekend…
Thanks for the info. I just ordered it.
Where can you buy the corn quick?
Good video! I like how you show what doesn't work for you as well lol keep it up my friend! We will collab soon!
The xanthan gum makes everything slimy 😜
Great in-depth study! Great video.
Yay! I just bought this!
Can’t wait to try. I used unflavored protein powder and it was super tasty. Maybe even a combination of the two?
What type of oil did you use?
Genius🙌🏼 I always use it as a flour base for frying seafood etc. never thought of the roux !!
