Wellllll, since popovers are mostly air…I made them with a little more air and a little less popover. They turned out great, don’t you think? 😜

Did you adjust your prebolus for those?

> I’m curious what alternative flours you usually use. I was gluten free (due to celiac disease) long before my LADA diagnosis, so I don’t have gluten flour foods to compare to, but some of the alternative

That’s the weird thing. It’s not like these flours are less carby. I use potato starch, brown rice flour, teff, tapioca starch, sorghum. The absolute best book I used hands down for our baby with food allergies was this one. And I swear, my bg loved almost every recipe (even the chocolate cake)! I’ve had a similar experience with raisin bread recently (maybe 3 raisins/slice). I can’t figure out why i respond so differently to this combination of flour. Would be so curious to see if others had a similar experience.

Interesting! I haven’t found many GF alternatives that my BG likes (meaning no big spikes) except corn pasta as almond/coconut flour based goods, though I guess I do eat a piece or two of toast almost every day (~13-16g carbs/slice) with not much issue.

Sorry it’s taken me so long to post this:

> A gluten-free, light and airy lemon cake make with almond flour, eggs, and sugar. Perfect for a holiday dessert!

On my copy, I noted that I would substitute cream of tartar for the vinegar and salt o stabilize the egg whites and also that the mixture before folding in the beaten whites was too stiff to fold in the whites easily. I think that using baker’s strips on the outsides of the cake pans might help prevent the slight sag in the center. The recipe calls for a dpringform pan but I think an 8 inch layer pan might be better. Always tinkering with recipes, am I!

😍 ohhhh, I love all things lemon. This might be dessert tomorrow, if I have the energy to make it. Thank you!

Do you mix it with another flour to help it hold together?

Not usually. I haven’t found many recipes that haven’t held up with just almond flour.

I just got some wisps and now I’m going to get fat because of you 😜

I’ve made some parm crisps before, but that requires me shredding the brick of cheese and I don’t have time to do that every day.
