Episode 103 Bradley Thomas-What is Austrian Economics?

If the country is sick, Austrian economics is the treatment

Austrian Economics fits, as Dr. House would say.  The economy starts with each person making decisions about what to buy, nor not to buy. Oh, it can bet complicated, but that’s for later. This episode is to lay a foundation that individuals, humans, and their actions, set the course of how the economy functions.

Almond flour pancakes are yum! The Keto series

Keto breakfast or breakfast for dinner is always a hit

Here’s the recipe.  The commentary is below.

Almond flour pancakes

These are Keto and GF. I like the almond flavor and they are a bit more substantial than regular pancakes. They are easy to make and look great.

Ingredients

Almond pancakes ingredients

  • 200 grams Almond flour generous 1 1/3 cups
  • 1 Tbs Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 4 each Eggs separated
  • 120 grams Buttermilk 1/2 Cup
  • 1 oz Melted, cooled butter
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Almond extract Optional

Instructions

Almond pancakes procedure

  1. Set your griddle to your usual pancake settings. My griddle has a thermostat dial which I set to 350°,

  2. Separate the eggs. Add the yolks to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Place the whites in a bowl large enough to whip them.

  3. Measure the almond flour, baking soda, salt, cooled melted butter, and extract(s).

  4. Add the flour mixture to the egg yolk mixture and stir to combine. Allow to rest while you whip the whites.

  5. Whip the egg whites to almost stiff peaks. Since this has no added sugar, the structure of the pancake depends on the egg white to hold it up. The fluffiest they will be is with nearly stiff egg whites.

  6. Fold a small amount, about ¼ of a cup, of egg whites into the almond flour base. The first addition will loosen the base enough to hold the next additions of egg whites

  7. Fold the remaining egg whites into the base in divisions of 4. Make sure to turn the bowl as you scoop-fold from bottom to top with each new addition of egg whites.

  8. Butter the griddle and scoop your batter onto your griddle. Griddle the pancakes long enough so they have a good caramelized base to help flip them. Since they have no gluten, they are delicate

Recipe Notes

This recipe is easily scaled by quarters up or down.

150 grams of almond flour makes 10 pancakes as I scoop them.  I use a size 30 scoop.

The recipe as is has no added sugar.  We ruined that with the Maple syrup.  A tablespoon of sugar in 4 egg whites will add some structure to the pancakes, but also sugar carbs.

We’ve had a change in our diet around here which means we need to exclude gluten.

Argh!

It has been less struggle than I thought, but also a much bigger baking challenge than I expected.

Pancakes we have done.  Sandwich bread is kicking my butt.  I have no interest in spending what they are asking for a loaf of GF bread.  I’ve come close.  It has all been edible, but gluten bread is so much a part of our remembered sandwich eating that GF bread has a high bar to cross.
