I use to love cobber and crisps. (Still Miss Crisps. Especially apple crisp!) But this comes in handy in a pinch and is extremely easy to make. 

It has a lot of flavor as well. 







INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 Cup Carbquik - (Carbquick can be purchased here.)
  • 1/2 Cup Milk ( I used unsweetened Coconut Milk)
  • 2 T Oil 
  • 1 Cup Sugar (sweetener equivalent)
  • 2 Cups Berries
  • 3/4 cup Water (Include Juice from berries if frozen)
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar (sweetener equivalent)
DIRECTIONS:

1. Mix breading portion of the Cobbler together and spread out into an 8x8 baking dish.


2. Mix Berries, water and sugar and pour on top of the dough.


3. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 min or until dough is baked through.
4. Let sit for 20 min to set up before eating.
5. Serve with Ice cream or cool whip.

I never thought I was going to be able to have biscuits and jam again. Or Biscuits and gravy! I am now one step closer to getting one of my favorite breakfasts.

I tried 'CHEF GREG'S COUNTRY-STYLE BAKING POWDER BISCUITS' from genaw.com and I have to say they are FANTASTIC! I didn't get the count they estimated for their recipe. I cut the recipe in half because I didn't want to waste that much Carbquik in case the recipe didn't pan out. 

 My answer to them- YUM!!!!

The Recipe is as follows: This recipe is 1/2 the original recipe and Yielded 4.5 biscuits. If you want more just double everything except the salt.




Ingredients:
  • 1 cups Carbquik**, 3 ounces (I weighed this on my scale and went by the oz instead)
  • 1/2 tablespoon baking powder 
  • Pinch salt, optional (see comment below) - I skipped this. I would likely add it back in.
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small bits 
  • 1/8 cup heavy cream 
  • 1/8 cup water
  • I added a tsp of Chicken soup base( powdered)
Directions:
  1. Lightly spoon the Carbquik into a measuring cup and level off. Do not tap it. - Again I used Oz measurement instead of a measuring cup. 
  2. Place in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk in the baking powder and salt, if using. 
  3. Cut the cold butter into the Carbquik until it looks like coarse meal. -I used the kitchen aid to cut the butter in. It turned out looking like meal but felt like flour with no butter addition. 
  4. Mix the cream and water; pour into the dry mixture. Mix until the dough forms and comes together, but do not overwork. The dough should be somewhat loose and sticky. 
  5. On parchment paper, very gently pat or roll the dough to 3/4-inch thick. It helps to sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of Carbquik over the top of the dough to prevent sticking.-I think mine were approx 1/2 an inch thick. 
  6. Cut with a 2-inch biscuit cutter.  
  7. Place the biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 400º 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
** Just because I was curious. I weighted each biscuit before baking them. They were approx: 37g each.  This will give you an idea of the size mine were. 

Let us know if you try these and what you thought!

When diagnosed I thought I was never going to be able to have doughy stuff ever again. Some of my great things I still miss today are corn dogs. The funny thing is, I never really ate them before I was diagnosed.

After searching and searching I found a forum called 'lowcarbfriends' and experimented with several different things. One of them being CarbQuik. I am very happy I did.

This 3# box of flour is a blend of different things and, I believe, is the low carb alternative to Bisquick.
14g of fiber for its total of 16g of carbs per serving, this somewhat expensive box was a dream come true.
I have also noticed anytime I eat it my numbers react amazingly.

One of my favorite recipes I have is for the potpie that is posted on this site already. Even with putting peas, carrots and green beans, along with other vegetables, and having a sizeable portion, I end up having a low rather than evening out. Sure, the low isnt good, however, it means I can take less insulin when I eat it, and there for save money. Win win! I also get my 'dough' experience!

Some downfalls to Carbquik are the flavor. There is a strange flavor to it for some people. Personally, I don't mind it. My husband doesn't like it. The upside is that depending on what you make, you may or may not taste it. The Chocolate Chip cookies, he can't taste the difference and enjoys a few of those.


 Where do I buy it?  Netrition.com

 How much is it? $11.99

 How much is in a box? 3 pounds

 How long does it last? It all depends on what you make. I can make a box last over a month or 2. Sometimes longer if I don't make cookies or other things.

Are there recipes available for this? Absolutely! The Carbquik website has recipes along with the lowcarbfriend forum.  There are even recipes on the box.
