Choux pastry

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Has anyone tried making choux pastry with almond flour or a combination of SCD

legal flours (i.e. almond flour and coconut flour) and if so, could anyone tell

me? Choux pastry is the pastry that is used to make profiteroles - yummy!

Dan,

Haven't yet... being from N'Awlins, I'd love to

make beignets, if I could figure out what to

substitute for the powdered sugar. I mean, sugar

is an SCD no-no, but beignets without explosions

of white sweet dust all over your new black shirt just aren't beignets!

Since it's eggs, milk, butter, and flour, you'd

have to go with eggs, yogurt, butter and flour.

Given that the nut flour is so much heavier than

grain flours, I'm not sure it's possible to get

the delicate, light texture of either beignets or

real, honest-to-ghu French bread with it.

But if you manage it, I'll be the first in line to sample it!
