Simmy Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I want to make some dishes and its calling for salted butter and all purpose flour. I think I can use almond flour instead, but not sure what to use for salted butter....please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen_Suep Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Ghee works. Or if you don't mind coconut flavor, coconut oil will work sometimes too. As far as flour, depending on how you're using it, almond flour may not be the best, or it can work perfectly. Different flours have different properties with cooking and stuff.

This (maybe wrongly) sounds a lot like some sort of baked good...which is not allowed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Butter and flour could be a roux for thickening, but in that case almond flour and ghee wouldn't work because the properties of AP and almond flour are so different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madness Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I've just forgone thickening things with roux for the Whole30 instead of trying to come up with a compliant concoction that will likely only do a passable job. For my beef stew, I just pulled out a few potatoes and mashed them to make the liquid thicker. Or serve whatever runny thing on top of mashed potatoes! I never ate many potatoes before but they have a lot of uses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
