I agree! It's expensive for me where I live, but I use it as

much as I can, it is so tastey. It is the thicken I use for my

favourite gravy... I even fooled a meat-eater with it once. It's

just water, fresh mushrooms, gf soy sauce, and teff for

thickener. It is a delicious, low-fat, vegan, gluten-free

gravy... and it's even an appetizing brown.

Any idea of how much teff flour to use instead of corn starch?

 

Teff is my most expensive grain/flour at $1.80 a pound. I am glad my

mill will grind the tiny grains. One of my cookbooks suggests using

teff instead of poppy seeds. I haven't tried it though I might

sometime since lemon poppyseed muffins were on my list of favorites

before I found out wheat made me sick.

Deb - Do you have this recipe? It sound divoon!

Or at least the breakdown of the flour combinations.

Thanks!

I just use it equal amounts.

Why would you substitute the poppy seeds with teff? I think that

would really lose the flavour of the muffins, unless the poppy

seeds were also making you sick.

 

I love poppy seed/lemon muffins too! I make mine with the usual

rice/potato/tapioca/guar gum flour combination, and then the

usual amounts of lemon and poppy seeds. Their great! :-)

I made lemon poppyseed muffins using the adapted recipe for Noah's Bread. Made

them in the mini-loaf pans and even my non-gf pastor thought they were great.

 

Are you using any hemp flour?

I haven't seen hemp flour locally. I haven't had good success with

Noah's bread.

Our health food store order some in for us because it is really high in EFAs.

 

The mini loaf pans really make a big difference with the Noah's. Lisa Lewis

suggested (on another list) that we bread be covered with foil after 1/2 so that

the tops don't cook too fast compared to the inside. It does make a difference.

 

Which Noah's recipe were you using?

I don't remember which one I tried, I do remember it had too much oil

for me. I haven't had good luck with sparkling water in recipes.

High altitude might be a factor since I am at 4500 feet.

Mine uses about 1/3 of the oil that Kwan's original recipe did. It's still too

much for some but it is possible to look for oil alternatives as well.

 

Why don't you take a look at the two adaptations I posted for Amy? Maybe the

altitude thing can be worked around.
