Finally lo carb crunch! Cannot wait to try this. I have a ton of f50 methlcellulose. Can I use that in this recipe?

You can give F50 a shot, we prefer E4M for repelling oil but if you’re happy with F50 and you have plenty of it that’ll work

Since I love my carbs, this will be a beer batter! Was slaving over an Acarajé batter (black-eyed peas) for gluten-free so this makes life easy

Have you compared to lupin flour? I wonder how much difference there would be ..

We haven’t, the big difference would be that this is just the protein, no starch so it can’t be used as a flour substitute.
