SCD Cooking
Wed, October 05, 2011 9:11 PM
Hey Everyone,
I have been trying some new SCD recipes and I dont know if it's me but everything tastes like Almonds. I have tried Banana muffins and of course use the Almond flour. I don't taste the main ingredients of the things I make like in this example bananas. I am getting a little discouraged because I want to taste different things and have a different texture. I am sick of every cookie, muffin or whatever tasting like almonds. I guess I am so use to the regular flour which had no taste at all. I made homemade Pumpkin and pureed it now tommorrow I will try for Pumpkin Pie. I am trying to figure out what to use in place of the evaporated milk. One recipe called for Almound flour and water pureed and that would make a almond cream. Don't want to do that since I want my pumpkin pie to taste like pumpkin. Any suggestions? I don't have a yogurt maker yet so I can't make the yogurt. Everybody says there recipes are coming out so good and yummy and I am craving anything beside almonds, or any nut for that matter. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure if you can tolerate corn starch/potato starch, they have virtually no taste and help tremendously in giving the right consistency to your cooking when not using wheat flour (even if using wheat flour) so you do not have to put so much of the flour product into the recipe, reducing unfamiliar or unwanted flavors into your dish.
Good cooking!

Have you tried using coconut flour? It does taste of coconut but the texture of the muffins etc is much lighter.
Do plenty of experimenting with the almond flour. I find that the taste of almonds is strong in some recipes and hardly recognisable in others. Lemon cake with honey and lemon juice drizzled on top works well and I do sometimes add cocoa or 90% chocolate - it is the only non-scd ingredient I use and for me it seems to be ok.
I haven't found a recipe for bread with an acceptable taste but mixing almond flour with grated parmesan cheese, salt and enough water to make a sticky dough makes good crackers. Roll them out, cut into rounds and then roll a bit more until they are thin.Cook until golden and there is very little almond flavour as the cheese hides it.
