Cheese like Spreads

Post by Barb1 »

CHEESE SPREAD
1/2 cup hemp seeds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
3 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cumin (I didn' use)
1 clove garlic minced
2 Tbs water
2Tbs olive oil
5 baby carrots
Put all ingredience in food processor and blend till smooth. Add more water if thinner consistency id desired.

MACADAMIA NUT CHEEZE
1 cup of raw macadamia nuts
1/2 cup hot water
2 Tbs olive oil
1 to 2 Tbs nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 to 1 tsp salt
Put all in blender, blend till smooth and creamy.
(can replace shredded cheese in pizza and lasagna) I haven't tried that. The raw nuts are hard to find, I might try the roasted nuts next time I make it.


Does any one have a good egg replacement for pancakes, waffles, or any baked goods. I can't have potato starch, corn starch, soy and most replacements have those. I have tried making pizza crust three times and it comes out like shingles on a house.

Barb,

For baked goods I have used arrowroot mixed with enough warm water to make it the consistency of an egg white. I used the same amount of arrowroot and water as is called for using Ener-g egg replacer. I presently use it as one of my starch ingredients in baked goods and I don't pre-mix it. My muffins, waffles and pancakes all turn out well using it. I've never tried making pizza crust.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.

Gloria,
How do you use arrowroot in your baked goods? The same as Ener-g eggs replacer with no water?

Thanks,

These cheese spreads sound very good!!
Other Egg Replacement Options
1 egg = 2 Tbsp. potato starch
1 egg = 1/4 cup mashed potatoes
1 egg = 1/4 cup canned pumpkin or squash
1 egg = 1/4 cup puréed prunes
1 egg = 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 2 tsp. baking powder
1 egg = 1 Tbsp. ground flax seed simmered in 3 Tbsp. water
1 egg white = 1 Tbsp. plain agar powder dissolved in 1 Tbsp. water, whipped, chilled, and whipped again
Egg Replacement Tips
If a recipe calls for three or more eggs, it is important to choose a replacer that will perform the same function (i.e., binding or leavening).
Trying to replicate airy baked goods that call for a lot of eggs, such as angel food cake, can be very difficult. Instead, look for a recipe with a similar taste but fewer eggs, which will be easier to replicate.


If you want a lighter texture and you’re using fruit purées as an egg substitute, add an extra 1/2 tsp. baking powder. Fruit purées tend to make the final product denser than the original recipe.
If you’re looking for an egg replacer that binds, try adding 2 to 3 Tbsp. of any of the following for each egg: potato starch, arrowroot powder, , mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, instant potato flakes

I also have used canned pumpkin in my waffle & pancake recipes and they really add a great flavor!
Applesauce & a lttile cinnamom & vanilla for an apple pancake or waffle.
Hope some of these help.

Here is a recipe for Czech version of pancakes called palačinky without eggs:

Ingredients for pancakes without eggs

- 500 ml of semi-skimmed milk
- 300 g of smooth spelled flour
- 20 g vanilla sugar (vanilla sugar can also be used)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch of salt
- Alternatively, frying oil


Procedure

1. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them until we get a beautiful dough for pancakes without lumps.

2. Then classically heat the pancake pan thoroughly or pour a pancake maker over it with a ladle, a suitable amount of dough, which will form a thin layer over the entire surface of the pan. In a good pan, the pancake should not burn, but if you know that your pan has problems with this, grease it with a little oil using a buttermilk before pouring the dough.

3. You can tell when the pancake is ready on the first side by the formation of bubbles on the one you can see, which then crack and create some kind of holes. At this point, we turn to the other side and fry for a while. We repeat the whole process until we have no dough. Pancakes without eggs are ready. Enjoy your meal.


Preparation time

Preparation and subsequent frying take a total of about 1 hour


Serving

10 to 12 pieces of pancakes made in a medium-sized pan
