Dear LCStudent;

I am madly in love with you.

You, dear LCS, have made my life complete. We have just had late night tea and muffins. Not only was it low carb, not only did we not really notice it was low carb, but it was also a mufa, if I am not mistaken, so it is a perfect crossover diet food in my household. What an achievement!

God bless you--there can be fresh muffins on my sideboard every weekend, evermore.

Now, if I can somehow mod this recipe into my waffle iron, I shall be carried through the streets and showered with rose petals! I will start with my bad waffle iron in case I destroy it in process. Yay!

Sincerely,

G-

I tweaked this recipe slightly.

To the dry mix, I added 2 (level) tablespoons of vital wheat gluten. My goal was to improve the texture, and add a wheat element.

I also added one of the egg yolks, and two tablespoons of whipping cream. Why? Well, I knew that this recipe didn't depend on stiffly beaten egg whites, and I thought that the yolk would improve the taste. The cream was added because I remembered an old recipe for cream bisquits, and just thought "what the hell". So in it went. I beat the batter fairly vigorously for about 30 seconds in an attempt to develop the gluten a bit, and provide some internal structure.

The texture of this version was quite dramatically improved, in my opinion. Lighter and fluffier....less mealy. The carb count would change slightly as well, but to me it's well worth it.

ETA: Both times that I've made these I used salted butter with no problems.

Latest tweak = a heaping tablespoon of golden flax meal added to the dry ingredients for a "whole wheat-ish" texture and taste, and a mixture of old cheddar and finely chopped scallions and fresh garlic in the savory version.

I made these tonight because I wanted breakfast for supper. I had 2 sausage patties and 2 of the biscuits. I put 1 pattie on 1 biscuit. They were amazing!! I think I will get some sugarfree jam to put on the other two in the morning.

I think I will also try the garlic and cheese one evening when I am going to have chicken alfredo.

Wow! So good! I slathered my biscuit with butter and peanut butter (sugar free, of course). I also sifted my almond flour so the texture is pretty nice too.

Ok, I did a variation on these... sort of accidental. I was using my stand mixer to cut the butter in and I let it go too long and it was pretty much paste when I got back. So I figured, well, I've screwed it up, I might as well really experiment.

So, I was had increased the recipe by 50% so instead of using egg whites, I used 3 whole jumbo eggs. The batter was much softer. It came out more like bread, but with the biscuit taste. Since the batter had more flow it filled my muffin-top tin and rose really nicely. They came out looking like perfectly round, puffy breads. Very nice!

I like the idea of mixing dry ingredients & putting in the freezer, too.
