THICKENING AGENTS
Here are a few suggestions to thicken your sauces:
1. Xanthan Gum: made from fiber so all the carbs can be deducted. Just a little (1/2 teasp. will thicken 1 cup).
sprinkle on about 1/4 teaspoonful at a time and whisk it in real well.
It will thicken upon standing so do not overdo.
can be found at local health food stores.
2. Guar Gum - Can be used the same way as the xanthan, but it leaves a "slimy" taste on the food.
3. Expert Foods not Starch - Have not had much success with this product, as it just didn't seem to thicken very well, but other people have had good results.
4. Soy Flour/Oat Flour - This works well in small amounts but it tends to be higher in carbs than the "gums." You can make a great white sauce by melting butter, stirring in soy or oat flour till it makes a paste, and adding light cream. If you only need 1/2 cupful of sauce or so, this will work very well.
