Not Too Bad January 4, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
We tried this tonight for pizza crust. It really wasn't too bad, but there are some issues to be aware of if you are going to use it. The directions say add 1/3 cup of very hot water and mix to form a soft dough. No way does this happen. you have to get your hands in there and kind of work it all together and then it is pretty dry and crumbly. Kneading brings it together somewhat. As far as getting it in the pan, just be patient. Flatten it out as best you can and then start working from the center and press outwards. It takes a lot of work, but you can cover a 12 inch pan with it. It will be very thin though. I didn't find the flavor all that objectionable if you have a lot of toppings on it. I think the trick to all this low carb stuff is desperation anyway. Once you are on the diet long enough even cardboard tastes good. :0)
 Love this stuff January 4, 2008

I've used this many times over the past couple of years. Biscuits, breading for fried chicken, low carb brownies, etc. If you are following a low carb lifestyle, this is a great substitute for white flour-laden products. It does have a different taste, and a little aftertaste, but if you are doing the low carb thing, you're probably already familiar with that. I use this for anything I would usually use Bisquick for. I hadn't had a biscuit in over a year when I tried this...I was so glad I found it. Carbalose- the flour they use, is also available from some sites by itself- You can use this in even more recipes.

This is the worst low-carb product I have ever purchased. When using it to make pizza crust, I could not even cover half the pizza pan, and the taste was horrible. I used it to make biscuits, and they were incredibly dry and had no flavor. I tried again, adding some margarine, and they still tasted awful. I tried to make pancakes, and the batter was as thick as cement. I tried adding more liquid, but they were horrible. I cannot imagine how this product is still on the market. Krusteaz used to make WONDERFUL low-carb baking products, so I know it can be done. This stuff, however, is awful.
Not Bad So Far December 18, 2007

I've only used this product to make pancakes so far, but so far, so good. Except of course for the first attempt. When I mixed the batter according to the package directions, it appeared WAAAY too thick to possibly make pancakes. Sooooo... I added and added and added liquid until it seemed like pancake consistency. DO NOT DO THIS! That first batch, although the crumbs tasted just fine, didn't hold together, couldn't be flipped without the entire thing falling apart, and frankly made a huge mess. Entirely my fault, admittedly. I plan to try using it for pizza dough and deep-fry coating soon.

The pancake that I have for years been searching for! Nice and crispy on the outside. Scrumptious.
