Carb Quik.....Anyone try this??

What's the word on this baking mix? It sounds good, but I'm leery.

I've tried it. It makes really good biscuits and pretty good pancakes, but I didn't like the pizza crust at all. Three times I had the pancakes and they didn't stall me (three pancakes approximately 4" in diameter with SF syrup) But having more that one biscuit with a meal seems to stall me every time. Oh, I used a little bit to make peanutbutter cookies once and they were good too.

I have some and I use it pretty infrequently. I like better than most bake mixes. Everything I've made comes out pretty dry so I think I need to tweak with the recipes a little more. No stalls for me.

I love it for the Impossible Pie recipes that you find for Bisquick. I wouldn't want to be without it again. Also a cream cheese pound cake that DH loves.

It is very good. I've made a chicken pie with it and pancakes.

I make the waffles and they are great.

Is carb quick like pancake mix? Do you buy it at the supermarket?

It's really good to coat zucchini for fried zucchini appetizers too. I put it in a bowl with parmesan cheese & cajun seasoning and batter the zucchini with it and an egg/cream mix. AWESOME stuff with ranch dressing!

There are several threads on Carbquik (not Carbquick) which cover alot of information already.

Carbquik is a bake mix with added baking powder, salt and oil - very similar to Bisquick. www.carbalose.com has great recipes and folks will improvise regular Bisquick recipes for Carbquik.

It is my personal favourite product - and does require alot of work...to cook, bake, etc. rather than some of the more instant LC products...but worth it.

Good Luck

Thanks, Steph! :)

I really like carb-quik - good for lc scones! :yum: I have found it to be a little salty tho - so usually use unsalted butter or some other unsalted fat source when cooking/baking with it. I think some buy it at Krogers grocery store - I get it at www.netrition.com.

Here's a thread on the site with a lot of good recipes:

Thanks for all the info Cheri!

This is the one LC product I am most impressed with - it adds some variety to a more limited diet such as LC.....I almost find it tastes slightly almond-y and it is a bit drier, but it's good stuff.
