Default Coconut flour

Damned keyboard/webtv issues. No idea if I just sent something or not.
Ignore it if I did because it wasnt what I wanted to send.

When buying vital wheat gluten do not buy the one that says vitamin c
enriched on the package-bitter. I tried coconut flour but found it very
drying and crumbly in cookies-better luck with bean flours.

Mom's Pie Crust with substitution:
1.5 cup vital wheat gluten
1.5 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup oil
2 Tbsp. milk

Brownies with substitution:
6 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
2 cups splenda
3 eggs
1.5 sticks butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup vital wheat gluten
pinch of baking powder and baking soda
chopped nuts
350degree 30 min

Goes to show why diabetics should not eat rice, potatoes, flour
products, and sugars.
