Simply add 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar to your almond milk to give it the acidity to help with the rise. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-10050625233386572662016-07-19T09:35:54.767-04:002016-07-19T09:35:54.767-04:00Could I possibly use greek yogurt instead of butte...Could I possibly use greek yogurt instead of buttermilk? or maybe almond milk instead of buttermilk? or wpuld this not suffice?Mishihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10456498029612348869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-451231111740556092015-01-13T22:28:10.503-05:002015-01-13T22:28:10.503-05:00Hi geekgranny,

If not, I also have some bread recipes and sandwich rolls that use chia instead of flax. I know that not everyone can handle the fiber load that some of the alternative baking ingredients contain (flax, chia, psyllium, coconut flour, etc.). Hope you can find a few new recipes here to try (without flax, of course)! ;-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-80878483698859429072015-01-13T18:10:34.627-05:002015-01-13T18:10:34.627-05:00Great site!!!!

In answer to questions about avoiding flax... In my case, I have very sensitive lower GI, life long IBS (greatly improved going grain free), and any mild medications that help people to go or to slow them down affects me DRASTICALLY. For me a small amount of flax is like taking the solution one takes to clean out before having a colonoscopy. I am not exaggerating either.

If I were to buy buttermilk, I would use a little and the rest would go to waste. So, I just add two tablespoons of vinegar to 1/2 cup milk, let it sit a few minutes and add that instead of buttermilk. I don't put in the vinegar that the recipe calls for, because it is in my "buttermilk."Janie Mintenhttp://www.santastxworkshop.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-78946767675257450912014-08-23T15:11:23.311-04:002014-08-23T15:11:23.311-04:00Hi Judith,

Now that you know how they turn out, it's easy to tweak them to make them perfect for you! Also, if you ever want to try a good biscuit recipe...to enjoy as a biscuit (not sandwich roll)...try my cheddar black pepper biscuits OR my buttermilk biscuits. They are great for breakfast! :-) <br />Here's the link for the cheddar-black pepper biscuits: http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/2013/06/sunday-bruncheggs-bacon-easy-cheddar.html<br /><br />Here's the link for the Buttermilk Biscuits! http://www.gourmetgirlcooks.com/2014/02/buttermilk-biscuits-2-improved-served-w.htmlGourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-34814066432857739952014-08-23T12:34:41.702-04:002014-08-23T12:34:41.702-04:00This is the first time I've baked with chia an...This is the first time I've baked with chia and I think the texture is better than with flax....less slippery tooth feeling.<br />I made some brownies recently using just flax and will be interested to see how it is improved with chia.<br />Next time I will not tamp them, though.

I understand that the whole seeds are shelf-stable at room temp because of their high anti-oxidant content. But the pre-ground ones aren't as stable, I suppose because the oils are exposed to the air. A couple of years ago I had some pre-ground chia, which I would add to cereal, and such, and had no trouble with rancidity. I did keep it in the freezer, though, and used it up within a couple of months. Some things can still get rancid even in the freezer, though ... I've had that happen.CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-1618348837274654742014-08-20T23:54:49.059-04:002014-08-20T23:54:49.059-04:00Hi CyberSis,

Also, I wonder if they could go rancid? I know that several years ago (before going grain free), I used to add a couple tablespoons of ground flax to oatmeal in the morning and one particular time I had the most grotesque taste you could imagine. I tasted a pinch of my golden flax "plain" and I can't tell you how awful it was. I didn't use much of it so it took longer to use a bag. Also, I didn't keep it refrigerated...which I have since started doing! Regardless...glad they turned out better for you this time. I'm thinking about adding some stuff to them soon to see how that works. I thought about putting them in a bagel pan too...but it's just so easy to plop them, smooth slightly and bake...LOL. I bet they would do great in the bagel/donut mold pans though. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-83468400711411131172014-08-20T22:03:18.853-04:002014-08-20T22:03:18.853-04:00Hi GGC,

This time I ground *black* chia seeds in the Magic Bullet. There was no subtle "unusual" flavor, like what I got with the white seeds ... so either the other time was a "fluke" or the seed color *does* make a difference. I baked them on a baking sheet and the rolls held their shape nicely. I didn't tamp them down, just shaped them *very* lightly (after dropping them from an ice cream scoop they didn't need much shaping.) I'm tempted to try them in the bagel pan sometime. :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-79593576135320839912014-08-13T12:49:52.954-04:002014-08-13T12:49:52.954-04:00Hi SLB,

If you aren't sure about them and want to try them out fairly inexpensively, pick one up at a Bed Bath & Beyond and use a 20% coupon if you have one. I went from one of their pans to at least a dozen and have actually tossed some of my older bakeware because they still stuck (like you are experiencing). Check out the brownies that I just posted yesterday -- so many recipes tell you to line the pan with either foil or parchment to overhang so when they cool you can lift them out to cut nicely. I lightly sprayed the bottom of my 8" square pan and once they cooled, I literally removed the entire pan of brownies to a cutting board completely intact and perfect. I have never owned a pan that I could do that with before! It would be worth your while to pick one up locally to try. If you don't like it, I'm sure they would take it back.

Believe it or not, some people just plain don't like it...others it upsets their stomachs (from the high fiber, etc.)...and it is also not good for some females with certain conditions due to its estrogen-like effects. I like both of the sandwich rolls (with and without the flax). My personal favorite is probably the one with the flax...I think its the closest tasting to "regular bread".
