I've tried to make a roux with all the options you showed in the past but never carbquick. I tried carbquick and everything was back to normal 👌 nothing works better. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it Rudy

Genius🙌🏼 I always use it as a flour base for frying seafood etc. never thought of the roux !!

Rude.

[@deskjockie4948]

CarbQuick has both wheat and soy. For those who are following a ketogenic diet and who want to stay in ketosis, wheat is too high in carbs and has gluten to boot. You can make your almond flour even finer by blitzing it in a coffee grinder. I've made a delicious roux with it using melted butter instead of the seed oil. If you want good health, sometimes you have to train your taste buds to appreciate different flavors.

[@TRFrench]

Where have you been all my life? Thanks for al the research!

I made one with coconut flour and it was fine as long as the gumbo was hot. Once it get to room temp it’s no good. I’ve just been using okra.

[@TheCajunKetoChef]

Yeah okra is a good thickening agent good for you my friend

[@mellochello77]

You can use xanthan gum to thicken gumbo after it cooks

[@TheCajunKetoChef]

Yes I'll try the xanthan gum did not enjoy it though, it gives us a different type of thickness then I roux

Updated roux

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

What is in the pot when you start ? Is it water or oil or melted butter 🇦🇺

[@bgzwlz5119]

I recently tried to make a roux using whey protein powder based on a website I found, to try to thicken gravy while making beef bourguignon. Given that the beef needed to simmer in wine & beef stock for 2-3 hours, it didn’t make sense to thicken at the beginning. I also reviewed some info on a bulletin board that said you don’t want both the gravy & roux to be hot, so I cooked the roux and let it solidify then added it at the end. What a disaster. The gravy was sandy! Hopefully, this method will work better?

[@scotthostetler9201]

Have you tried adding a touch of peanut butter, or nutmeg or something else to increase umami and nutty flavor? Tahini Paste may be a better option because of those with peanut allergies .

[@TheCajunKetoChef]

Maybe so

The Carbquik you are using looks like it is a light off-white color. I bought some from Walmart and it is a kind of dark tan or almost yellow color. Is my screen playing tricks with the color, or is your Carbquik a light off-white color? If so, where did you buy it? I

[@TheCajunKetoChef]

Interesting, I heard different people say different things on color I got mine at Walmart

[@pmcbride59]

Dang.... I was hoping for a miracle. CarbQuick has a wheat base. People with wheat allergies cannot use this.

[@TheCajunKetoChef]

I'm working on another one, that should work for people that do have that issue

[@susancelotto122]

Maybe lupin flour or unflavored protein powder. I’ve heard that sodium citrate is a good keto thickener

[@valbard6596]

I’m glad I saw your video before making a big pot of gumbo with almond flour. We have to go gluten free so can’t use CarbQuick. Will look for more of your videos to see if you’ve found something better. Thanks!

[@mamabear5478]

At 5pm I finished my gumbo using Carbquik and let me share my findings. I followed some of his gumbo techniques and some of my own. 2/3 cups oil 1 cup Carbquik I always sift flour and Carbquik stuck to my dry sifter. Oil in cast iron was heated until I saw a light smoke coming from pan. At the 30 minute mark in my cast iron pan the Roux had a super rich dark looking almost black color but never thick. I used his meat slurry idea in the hopes it would get thicker. It had a mild flour smell. The taste was okay but still tiny little grainy pieces like when using gluten free flour. So far gluten free flour has the same taste as AP flour for a Roux but still tiny grainy pieces. The Carbquik gumbo is okay but my 5 kids have not tasted it yet. That will be the real test. If they don’t taste a difference then I might keep this stuff for future roux recipes 😉 Anybody have some freezer friendly baking recipes using carbquik?

[@TheCajunKetoChef]

The keto twins say they don't taste like potatoes, you add other ingredients to make them taste like potatoes. They're basically keto instant potatoes. I'm not crazy about carbquick because of the wheat base and canola oil. Why do they sell products that are supposed to be keto friendly but have questionable ingredients.
