But it has a beautiful flavor, wonderful on steamed vegetables, squash, and smeared on yummy baked goods. I didnt' try baking with it - I think it would be a pretty strong flavor to use in a baked good, but it is worth a try. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/grapeseed-oil-measures#post-648 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:44:03 +0000 badpenny 648@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi. When using grapeseed oil as a substitue for butter/other fats, do the amounts called for stay the same, cup for cup? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/goat-butter#post-647 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:11:18 +0000 badpenny 647@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I was wondering if anyone has used goat butter?

Does anyone know if I can just use butter in the same amount or is a special conversion required?<br /> Thanks!<br /> leslie </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/chocolate-chip-cookies-1#post-489 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:08:29 +0000 colormepink 489@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I think you should still be able to make your own almond flour but be aware that there may be some adjustments to the recipes if your grind isn't as fine as the brands she recommends. Make sure you are grinding your flour as finely as possible, you may need to sift out the larger pieces and reprocess them to get it all finely uniform. Also, measuring almond flour is more like measuring brown sugar, you want to pack it into the cup rather than loosely spoon it in. Your dough should be stiff like a wheat flour cookie dough (see Elana's chocolate cookie video to get an idea). If your batter is runny, it most likely needs more flour. I've made these with butter before and they've turned out just fine (I used softened butter, not melted.) </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/chocolate-chip-cookies-1#post-477 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 09:20:36 +0000 jessica 477@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I don't think the issue is the butter, it is the type of almond flour you are using; this is the <a href="http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&#38;ProdID=618" rel="nofollow">brand of almond flour</a> that Elana uses for that <a href="www.elanaspantry.com/chocolate-chip-cookies/" rel="nofollow">recipe</a>. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/chocolate-chip-cookies-1#post-466 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 18:00:56 +0000 victoriagreer 466@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>hi Elana,</p> <p>I made your GF chocolate chip cookies with butter. They batter came out runny and the cookie came out very flat. I tried to make my own almond flour. Perhaps, that could have caused it to be runny. Also, is the butter supposed to be melted not room temperture? Please help.</p> <p>Thank you,<br /> Victoria </p>
