Hi LCers!

After being less than pleased with some pork rind pancakes, I made some good
ones today with vanilla whey protein powder (thanx to JennytheBean for the
recipe). So this got me stoked to try more LC goodies! Unfortunately, I
tried to substitute cold milled flax seed for soy flour in a chocolate cake
recipe and quelle desastre! I do not wish to use soy because of what I
heard about the taste and also because I have thyroid problems. Can flax
seed be used in place of soy flour? How about whey powder? If substitution
is allowed, do I use the same amount called for in the recipe?

Also, my protein powder does not have a scoop (that I have found), so how
many teaspoons/tablespoons are in a scoop?

Thanx for the help,
dr feline
(who made her own ketchup--thanx Chuck! for the recipe--cuz she still can't
find Heinz One Carb Ketchup...)

just substitute soy protein powder measure for measure

they usually sell it right next to the soy flour

Uh, how is soy protien powder any less soy than soy flour? They said
they didn't want to use soy.
