Sharon: New, with some questions

[Guest guest]

WELCOME, Sharon, to . We are glad you've joined us. You

asked:

 

>>>1) Does anyone else here use DariFree to make puddings? I am

apparently doing something wrong because sometimes when I make the

puddings they become watery very quickly. The water separates from

the pudding and is very unappetizing. I can't figure out what the

problem is.

 

This problem also happens with soy milk and other milk alternatives. In our

family we've come up with two solutions. One is to use the Instant Clear Jel to

thicken the pudding. It doesn't require cooking and takes only a small amount

to get the pudding to thicken appropriately. The other solution is the one we

use most often. Instead of using any type of milk (alternative) for pudding we

use a box of silken tofu and a very small amount of water. It works SO nicely

and tastes great. Blend in a food processor or blender, as it is best creamy

smooth!

 

>>>2) Does anyone have any good recipes for baked goods using millet or

sorghum flour? I'm not having the best luck with these. I can make a

halfway decent millet yeast bread, but the cookies, muffins and cakes

I've made have not been the greatest. I haven't yet made anything

with the sorghum flour that was good. Most things have been kind of

gluey in the middle.

 

I have only used sorghum flour once, and it seemed to give a strong flavor to

what I made. When I use the Bob's Red Mill gf mixes there is sorghum flour and

the blend and I've had no problem with those mixes. I like using millet (and

millet flour) and use it for many things. I've posted recipes using millet in

the archives. You might want to browse through and see if there is something

helpful to you there. To get to the archives go to:

grain " for cooking is quinoa. I've been enjoying experimenting with the whole

grain quinoa as well as the flakes and pastas. The flavor and texture is

terrific!

 

We're glad you've joined us here, Sharon. Please feel free to ask questions or

make comments. Recipes are always welcome also.
