@AbbieOffman showed me this recipe and wow. Game changer. These buns (says the recipe makes 12, I think it makes 9, so even with 9, they are 2.3 carbs each!) I used to do those Carb Balance wraps when I wanted a sandwich. These are better and homemade and seriously take five minutes to whip together (bake for 18, recipe says 20, too long). I tried them last week and they didn’t inflate but I used only egg whites because I didn’t want them to taste eggy. This time I used whole eggs and wow did they puff up! I’m enclosing a photo so you can see. They remind me of popovers or Yorkshire puddings - maybe my favorite high carb food (at 14 carbs each for a much smaller one!) Worth a try if you can eat vital wheat gluten and a little flour. That is a full size dinner plate not a saucer! Tonight I’m having two with butter but the rest I’ll have with lots of low carb filling for big sandwiches. http://www.findingradiance.com/2011/02/24/magic-rolls-eades-low-carb-comfort-foods/

Thanks for linking it.I was surprised to discover I felt no desire for them ... I guess its years of celiac and very low carb.
LOL

My last batch didnt turn out so well. Maybe my egg whites (from container) were off...
I'd throw in the advice that they freeze too, i find i cant eat a whole batch before they start to turn....0 -
I tried to make hot dog shaped rolls and they didn't raise at all. I think I poked/prodded them too much.0

Abbie, I found out if I use only egg whites they don’t rise as much. I use whole eggs and they aren’t too eggy! Also I’ve found if I bake on rainy days they don’t rise as well. So... no baking today! Maybe tomorrow. @AbbieOffman0 -
I used whole eggs, but, i also used the hand blender...I was being lazy. if I make a batch this weekend I think I might try the recipe exactly - with the 1/4 cup of reg. flour.
