Has anyone else experienced rather unpleasant side effects from eating soy flour? When I have eaten on 2 occasions I have felt bloated, nauseaous and then had a very bad time on the toilet!!!
I looked on line and saw that soy can cause this in people. Perhaps Im intolerant to soy.Thats a real shame because for shrove Tuesday i was planning on having a pancake made with soy while everyone lese stuffs their faces with flour pancakes!!

Hi lizard21,

The only good soya is the fermented kind: soy flour is not fit for human consumption.

I take it you're a Brit, if you're planning on having pancakes on Shrove Tuesday??? Why not just be reckless for a day and have some anyway???

If you allow yourself this one treat on this one day, it might be easier than feeling deprived and then ending up bingeing on sweets later.

But it does indeed sound as if soy is not for you. Throw it out.

I make extraordinary pancakes this simple; crush 1 & 1/2 ounces of pork rinds, 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream, 1 egg. Let sit 5-10 minutes. Fry with butter.

Do they have pork rinds in the UK?

Thanks guys, yes am a Brit but living in Turkey although I still keep my religious traditions like easter and christmas!
Suppose its best to just go with the flow and see just have a wee one!

They have "Pork scratchings" which can't really be crushed, and "Pork crunch" which are more like what you guys have x

Well, if you don't have gluten issues, it's better to have a controlled treat than a "broke down and ate the whole thing" moment.

Pork crunch sounds like some kind of low carb cereal. Mmmmm, Mom! Gimme some of that Pork Crunch!

You can make pancakes with ground almonds or try this recipe

I haven't a clue what 'MiniCarb bake mix' is so I used ground almonds instead and they tasted great with lemon juice and some granulated splenda sprinkled over them.
