In reply to linda. Hi Linda, Yes, you may leave it out. It is an ingredient to give a better and smoother mouthfeel. Don't need to sub with anything else.

In reply to Patrice. Hi Patrice, Yes, Guar Gum and Xanthan Gum are interchangeable. Just be sure not the add to much as either one can give you kind of a slimy mouth feel.

Hi, I wanted to know if Guar Gum can be substituted with Xanthum Gum?

Thank you

Jamie,
Not sure what you mean by “firm it up”. As per the instructions you can add a bit more flour but adding more more guar gum or xanthan gum will probably just make it slimy.
Try to remember that Carbalose flour is and acts differently than regular flour.

Can this be frozen then taken out later to cook? My husband always wants ‘normal’ pasta, so I’d like something I can pull out and prepare for me that’s quick.

In reply to Kate.

Hi Kate,
Yes, EZ Sweetz is what I have used for over 10 years https://www2.netrition.com/ezsweetz.html and it looks like you have found the right one or the 0.5 oz size.
The ONLY reason I started adding Sucralose to the all my Carbalose recipes is that so many people complained about the “bitter” taste of the flour and I am one of those people. If the flour doesn’t taste bitter to you then you can skip any sweetener.
I don’t use erythritol for many reasons and if you are more comfortable with it then of course use it. Have fun making whatever you are making including the spaetzle listed above.

Hello there! I’m excited to try this, but I’m not the biggest fan of sucralose. I’m not sure what brand of drops you use, but I saw for Sweet Solutions EZ Sweetz Liquid Sucralose that 2 drops = 2 tsp sugar. Does that sound right for the type you use? I’d like to use an erythritol sweetener instead. I figure I can just dissolve it in the water first :) Thank you, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to have found your Carbalose flour recipies!

In reply to Jan Petrie. Hi Jan, You did not do anything wrong. Carbalose is not like real flour and you are right, it does not have the same mouth feel that a high carb flour does. It is just a great alternative. Glad you liked the soup.
