You can use rice milk in this and coconut oil as well – sometimes those substitutions won’t work, but they will for this recipe!!

This sounds delicious. Will it work out if I use rice milk instead of cow or goat milk? Also, can I use coconut oil rather than butter? I sure hope one day I can add dairy back to my diet. Thanks for the recipes!

HI, Marianne!

Thanks for helping out with Carmahal – since this recipe calls for better batter it would assume xanthan gum is already included and that the mix is formulated to be cup for cup – as you know from experience, using homemade mixes people’s mileage may vary and the result will largely depend on how good your own mix is and, lol, if you remember to add xanthan gum.

Carmahal, I am going to take a stab at your problem, if you did not use the flour mix, or A FLOUR Mix with Xanthan Gum, you will have soup. I made this recipe, used my own blend and because I was “following” what I was reading and did not see the xanthan, I almost forgot to add it. Try it again, and use 1 teaspoon of Xanthan for every cup of flour. If you like a tighter crumb,use a little more. I used 3 tsp, and it is just a bit too much. The 3 tsp made a small gumline at the bottom, so I think if I used just a little less, it would be perfect.

I’m not sure what would be going wrong – the recipe shouldn’t be thin at all, if followed directly. The only thing I can think of is if your weights and measures are off – if your flour weighed less than 8-12 oz total and/or your water was more than 8fl oz it would cause the recipe to fail. Otherwise, it should work perfectly.

Normally people have problems with packing too much flour into a cup rather than too little, but this might be the cause of your trouble.

Wish I could provide more guidance!

I’ve tried this recipe twice now, and the “dough” never becomes more than thickish soup! Am I missing something??? I followed the directions exactly. Tired of wasting ingredients!

I’m about to make this recipe and there seems to be a small error. You are referring to the sugar twice in the first three paragraphs, but the ingredient list mentions sugar only once. Could you please clarify?

Thanks!
