    I feel like a big missing taste in this recipe is yeast, since croissants are usually a slow-risen dough. Might be worth adding a pinch of yeast to the batter and leaving it to prove for a bit before proceeding with the recipe.

    As someone who watches your channel for inspo for gluten free cooking, this was so helpful. I think reducing the sweetener even more and instead using raisins/dried cherries in the layers would help it have more of that traditional croissant texture. I'd also add a tiny bit of cinnamon to the batter - not to flavour it - but as I have found it helps cover up some of the slightly chemical flavour when using sweetners or some vegan products.

    I'm wondering if the tortillas are the kind that you can thin out by pulling them apart, similar to how you'd split open pita bread. If you are able to thin each of the tortillas out, then try it, it might work out better. Just keep the layer count down.

    What would you use instead of Just Egg? We don't have it in my country. I mean in general, not necessarily for this recipe.
    And which piece did you use as background music for the keto version?

    • @marystestkitchen
      @marystestkitchen  4 місяці тому +2

      Unfortunately, Just Egg is such a unique product that I don't have a ton of ideas. You might try "chickpea egg" where you mix chickpea flour with just enough water to create the right consistency. I use it when I'm doing a three-step-dredge for deep fried vegan chicken and it works really well. However, not sure it will have the same effect in this kind of recipe.

    Hey Mary! So good to see you back on my feed! Your keto croissant recipe has sparked in me an idea to use only 2 tortillas with a looser roll. It probably won't puff up as pretty as your 4 stackers but may be more enjoyable to eat if the heat can get down into the middle layers better.
    I'm always looking for keto snack ideas and maybe this recipe would be the basis for a good keto hand pie, the outer shell looked really crispy and you KNOW how rare that is on a low carb diet. Thank you again for making these cozy videos, and I hope your hands feel better.

    • @marystestkitchen

      Yes! I would also soak them for even longer next time, I think. Someone also suggested a bit of yeast in the mixture :-)

      That's basically what actual croissants are made from, and sure you can buy it frozen in sheets but to actually make it is quite demanding in resources, skill, and time. The purpose of the rice paper croissant is that it's really easy to make with ingredients most Asian families have on hand.

      @@arglebargle42 actual croissants are nothing like philo. One is unleavened, paper thin sheets stacked atop each other. The other is slowly risen over the course of days and folded over itself with cold butter many times. They both taste buttery (if you put butter between each philo layer, instead of oil), but the textures and tastes of each differ greatly beyond that.
