Introduction- Saints Under Construction
Saints under construction is what we all are, if we want to get to heaven. I have always wanted to write a book on my life and thought this would be a good way to start as things pop up in my mind. Most saints aren't born "saints". It is a journey and our walk toward the light that brings us closer to our call to holiness. You may find me post anything from cooking and food, to faith, family life, marriage, and stories from my youth as a daughter of Cuban exiles living in the State and abroad. I hope that in my ordinary life (and not so ordinary) you might find some similarities in your life and through my stories and blog posts find support and encouragement for your life and journey to our final home. May God bless us.
Paleo Buns
December 10, 2014
“Paleo” buns – Not Atkins friendly
I started following a recipe online (http://ultimatepaleoguide.com/paleo-lunch-buns/
) but I didn’t have enough of one of the ingredients, arrowroot. It called for a cup and all I had was the
amount of a spice bottle. So I decided since I already had 2 very ripe
(black) plantains peeled, I’d improvise like I usually do. I remembered I had coconut flour in the
freezer so I used ½ cup of that. After
mixing all of the simple ingredients together, even adding about 5 tablespoons
of water, the consistency was still too crumbly to hold together. Think. Think.
I added an egg that also wasn’t part of the original recipe. I was able to pat out 5 round “buns”. It’s the size of a typical sandwich bun but
flat as a pancake.
Ingredients:
-
2 ripe plantains
-
½ cup coconut flour
-
1 tsp course salt
-
1 tsp arrowroot
-
1 egg
-
5 tbs water
Directions:
Oven Temp: 375
Time cooking: 20-25 min
Mix all ingredients together to a smooth consistency.
Pat into bun sized pancakes
Place on parchment paper and bake to golden.
