How is this possible? Wouldn't a deep-dish pan need more crust? I found the recipe to barely come halfway up my standard 9.5" pie plate (and it wasn't a very thick crust, so I don't think I could've spread it out any more), so I don't know how it would be enough for a deep-dish pan. But it did taste good.</p> <p>Secondly, the chocolate filling made WAY too much. Don't get me wrong, it's delicious, but it filled the pie pan to the brim (going past the height of the pie crust) and I still had some leftover, even though I followed the directions exactly.</p> <p>Everything still tastes good (although I'll use less agave next time), but I think I either have to halve the filling recipe to fit the 9.5" pan, or double the crust recipe to accommodate all that filling in a deep-dish pan.</p> <p>Has anyone else tried this recipe? Did I do something wrong, or are these the intended proportions? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/serving-sizes-in-the-cookbook#post-2456 Mon, 31 Jan 2011 08:37:54 +0000 Stefanie 2456@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I love the cookbook! Just one question- for some reason the serving sizes all turn out different for me- any reason why? For example, I just made the chocolate chip scones and, though I followed the recipe to the letter, I have 8 scones (1/4 cup of batter, as per the recipe) instead of 16. The same thing happened with the drop biscuits, as well as other recipes. The consistency and taste is all terrific. I live below sea level (Amsterdam, the Netherlands), so not sure if that is an issue or if maybe we just have different type of ingredients from the American ones? Any help would be much appreciated. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pecan-shortbread-cookies#post-2089 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 12:34:01 +0000 ZoeJ 2089@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>First of all, I'm really enjoying your cookbook and have been having fun trying different recipes. Most of my attempts have been very successful and yummy, however the pecan shortbread cookies were not. I followed the directions, but the cookies turned out way too salty. I checked that I hadn't added too much. So I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem? Is there any chance there was a typo? Should it have said 1/4 teaspoon sea salt instead of 1/2? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-icing#post-2081 Mon, 04 Oct 2010 07:10:57 +0000 MsRegina 2081@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Does anyone have some good tip/s on how to get the consistency of the coconut milk icing in Elana's cookbook just right for the carrot cake? I made it and no matter what I did it didn't seem to thicken up enough to actually frost the cake.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/tea-biscuits#post-2000 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 03:26:57 +0000 janeafb 2000@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Is it possible to make a tea biscuit using almond flour??? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/cookbook#post-1776 Sun, 27 Jun 2010 06:42:31 +0000 janamom 1776@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>We have wheat/gluten, dairy and soy and sugar allergies in our family so preparing meals and especially bake goods is challenging. Elana's cookbook is the one that never goes into the cupboard. I use it constantly. Our favorite this week are her drop biscuits which we roll into a tube and slice and eat as either fruit shortcake or breakfast scones. My daughter makes cocoa frosting with cocoa powder, vanilla and coconut butter and dollops the frosting on top. Once refrigerated they look like something out of a patissierie is France. They are delicious!! Elana's cook bake is WONDERFUL!!! You start to wonder why people would waste calories on wheat when they instead use almonds which is a "Super Food" I may her biggest fan! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/coconut-flour-recipe-ideas#post-1941 Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:04:37 +0000 veredstory 1941@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hello all, I mixed up my coconut and almond flours and began making the herb crust with the coconut flour. Of course it would not come together, so now I have the raw ingredients of coconut flour, mixed with scallions, grapeseed oil,salt and water. Any ideas what I could make with this -- it is totally dry and not yet cooked. </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/ice-cream-sammys#post-1565 Thu, 06 May 2010 10:08:52 +0000 Jillybean 1565@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I bought your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/158761345X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=elanaspantryc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=158761345X" title="buy The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam online" rel="nofollow">cookbook</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=elanaspantryc-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=158761345X" alt="" /> after trying some of your online recipes.

In case anyone else is interested and eats oats, I made Elana's Snickerdoodle recipe from her <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/158761345X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=elanaspantryc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=158761345X" title="buy The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam online" rel="nofollow">cookbook</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=elanaspantryc-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=158761345X" alt="" /> but added 2/3 cup of GF certified rolled oats, 1/2 to 2/3 cup raisins and 1/2 teaspoon (or more) cinnamon. (sorry....didn't measure any of that so the ingredients are estimations. :) ) </p> <p>I baked them following the directions in the cookbook and I have to say....they were DELICIOUS! I plan to try just the Snickerdoodle recipe at some point. :) Enjoy! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/cheap-paleo-cookbooks#post-1243 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 02:57:13 +0000 vaughntylera 1243@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Paleo Cookbook By Nikki Young.
