Low Carb Donuts

-
Low Carb Donuts to die for (fat % high AKA KETO GONE WILD). No one can ever say I'm not dedicated to the cause. I experimented on myself and my family. I am estimating that I consumed along with my family at least 81 donuts before I was happy with the recipe. The frosting is amazingly good too. Can you imagine having to eat that much stuff just to create a recipe. 
Recipe

  • 2/3 cup ground Almond Flour
  • 1/3 cup Coconut Flour
  • 6 large eggs separated
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of cinnamon or pumpkin spice. Or whatever suits your taste buds at the moment.
  • 1/4 cup of High Fat Coco Powder or the normal stuff. For non Chocolate version don't use it obviously. This is a base recipe. Just use your imagination.
  • 1 cup of Swerve
  • 1/2 tsp Better Stevia  (it's gives extra umph for sweetness)
  • 5 tbsp Coconut Oil
Frosting
  • 2 tbsp Butter (organic and free range blah blah is better)
  • 300 grams of Cream-Cheese (10.5 oz)
  • 60 grams of Swerve (1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp Orange Extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
Optional- don't add the orange extract. Add Coco Powder (1/4 cup) for a chocolate version.

What to do.....pay attention. If you are use to baking this is a snap. 

You need one of these or something similar. It's a silicone donut baking pan that kicks ass. Reviews are great and I just love it's ease of use. It's made by a company called Country Home Goods and you can buy it on Amazon HERE. If you use this mold don't forget to put a pan underneath it before putting it in the oven.



First things first. 

  • Preheat oven to 350ƒ˚
  • Combine all dry ingredients in separate bowl.
  • Whip egg whites until they have stiff peaks. If you fail to do this you will have limp donuts.
  • I am assuming you have some baking skills or at least I hope so.
  • Mix together in a separate bowl, egg yolks, Swerve, Better Stevia, Coconut oil (you will probably have to melt it), and Vanilla extract. Be careful mixing in hot coconut oil with eggs. There is always a possibility that you could scramble the eggs. Add oil very slowly and stir....this is called tempering.
  • Combine the egg whites with other wet ingredients that you already put together. When I say combine I mean fold gently. You don't want to deflate your egg whites. 
  • Fold dry ingredients slowly into wet ones and make a cohesive mixture.  
  • Spray mold so the donuts won't stick
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick pick comes out clean
  • To make frosting- combine all ingredients and place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes
Show and Tell-Time




 Spray with nonstick spray. 




Whipped Egg whites.....Until Stiff Peaks are formed. Combine Wet ingredients.








Folding the two together.





Dry ingredients folded into wet ones.









My personal technique is to place everything into a one gallon bag, cut of tip and pipe donut mixture into mold. So much easier than using a spoon.


All piped in and settling in by a tap or two on the cutting board.






All baked and gonna cool for about 5 minutes or so.





Cooling on rack and waiting for frosting. You cannot pipe frosting on until cool. You can speed up the cooling process by placing in ice box for a few minutes. 


Tool of the trade. Going to pipe on frosting. If you don't have one of these use a one gallon bag.


Frosting refrigerated for at least 30 minutes prior to use.

Curing Notes and some Math

-

(OP-2016) I wrote this up to help you with some of my recipes. I hope these notes and links expand your knowledge of curing.  My recipes are straightforward to follow if you use the info given below. Replicating my recipes is possible because I use percentages for everything. The weight of meat plus fat is 100%, and all ingredients to be added are expressed as a percentage of the weight of the meat plus fat.  Percentages can be used to standardize recipes regardless of batch size, and all weights are metric. An online calculator is provided below.  No weights are given because the weights of meats vary. Again everything is a percentage of the meat's weight after trimming. Here is an example- Meat weight,  2393  grams, and we want to find out the amount of salt we need in grams-  2393 * 3.5%=83.755 or 2392/100 * 3.5 =83.755 grams. Or 2393 * .035 = 83.755 For most of my recipes, I use  .25%  c...

Eye-of-Round (Sous-Vide)

EYE OF ROUND- EOR  (OP- 5/2017)I've been wanting to do this for a while but prefer other cuts for roast beef (I still do). Anyhow, after reading all the pontificating posts on E-O-R, I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After making about 5 of these E-O-R's, I have dialed in what I believe is the perfect temp and time.  The T/T was selected because it provides the highest moisture retention, texture (tenderness) for slicing using a Deli-Slicer. If you plan on slicing by hand or wanted to slice very thick to serve as an entree it might not work. The E-O-R will be cooked at 128f for 24 hours and sliced on my Berkel Slicer.  (Disclaimer located at the bottom for T/T). Note: The T and T are perfectly fine. The Log Reduction is exceeded 12.  If you plan on purchasing the E-O-R at Costco or another whole seller, I will suggest buying it cryo-vacuumed-sealed. If you don't, there's a possibility that it was mechanically tenderized. I'm not against...

Burnt Ends the Sous-Vide way!!!

  The King of BBQ Brisket is Burnt Ends. But what are Burnt Ends? Traditional Burnt Ends are from the point of brisket. Where I live, you rarely find a whole packer (whole briskets), and when you do come across one, you're usually not in the market for one. Yes, yes, I could buy one and freeze it, but I don't like to freeze the meat. So I decided to make Burnt Ends entirely from the flat. Burnt Ends are a delectable delicacy and are prized by many if not all BBQ enthusiasts. I actually prefer Burnt Ends to BBQ brisket. Sometime during the "cook," the whole brisket is removed, and the point is separated from the flat. Traditionally the point is cubed up and doused with more spices and smoked very low and slow for a couple of more hours, and sometimes BBQ sauced is added. Burnt Ends are typically served with a little char on them with some BBQ sauce on the side or in sandwiches. I recently attended a BBQ workshop, and t...
