I am filming my keto recipes and putting them on YouTube with some music I made long ago. Here’s my second one: Almond buns.
Is it practical enough for viewers/cookers?
This video is perfect. Just the way it should be, well I would suggest skipping the separation of each egg individually and just skip from the first to the last.
I have tried egg beaters before and they always make such a mess. The jug(?) you use for beating egg is clever, I need to try this. Manually beating puts me off doing anything with egg beating because my arms aren't what they used to be :(
I watch the video later and let you know. I’m looking for low carb alternatives. Almond buns sounds fantastic.
The video is « Quick’nDirty » but the buns are fantastic: I could make keto burgers with this recipe.
Ohhhh that sounds awesome. My mom just bought some almond flour, and I’ve been thinking about some recipes. I’ll check this out. Are the butter cookies made with almond flour as well?
Actually, Almond flour is expensive in Switzerland so everything I make is cooked using Almond powder. Psyllum is just fiber, as I couldn’t find some today, I bought flaxseed hulls which are much cheaper. I will let my public know about that experiment.
Wow I really like this idea. Keep it up. In future when prayer garden is fully up and running, I would love to help highlight things like this
I finally made my plans for Hawaii. It will be in May and June of this year. I will keep you posted on coming on your show.
Oh awesome I look forward to discussing it more in future. Truly appreciate it. God bless u.
First, I could seriously taste and smell those buns!
Recipe looks great. I do agree a little more prominent showing of ingredients as you go (in writing) with measures would improve. I am looking forward to trying.
Curious, I have always been taught to fold in egg whites so they don't lose the airiness. Also, what did you add to the egg whites (white powder) that isn't on your ingredient list?
Well done!
Salt. Sorry for not mentioning it.
As a keto person who craves some bread or something at times, these look amazing. Easy enough to make. I agree about putting the ingredients on the description. I have all of this stuff except the psyllium husks. Is it necessary? I’ve made a bunch of things with almond flour. To be honest, it is usually gritty texture-wise but maybe the egg whites help that? I’ve added cheddar to simple keto biscuits (I can’t remember where you’re from but they’re not cookies- they’re generally fluffier and savory.)
I’ve followed
https://thebigmansworld.com/keto-almond-flour-biscuits/
https://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/keto-biscuits/ and I liked the outcome but hate those recipe/cooking pages because you have to read way too much stuff to get to the actual recipe. So I appreciate a video like yours.
I just use a plain muffin pan sprayed with olive oil spray.
Anyway, your music made me sad. Sorry, man. But nice effort!!! I’m gonna try them.

Hello Fren, as I told some other Fren, the music is just an old theme of mine from 1998, which I chose because of its duration. I also posted my recipe for butter cookies (filmed at the same time): https://youtu.be/bqCDfbF8nUQ
I love butter cookies, I’m going to check this one out for sure. At Christmas time I make press cookies. And I love them. Love love love them.
Cooookiessss!
When you show ingredients, show ingredients. I could not identify a single one. You need the entire recipe posted. You also need spatulas! You need bowls big enough to accommodate the quantity of ingredients without our having to wonder when it will overspill. Your camera angle is too steep and I couldn't see you separating the whites. That could have been done off camera, anyway. Kind of boring. Most of us don't have silicon bake cups, so how else could you do this? Would the batter stick too much in regular paper cups?? Or could the paper cups be sprayed with some oil?? You have to tell the baking time. You should get copper bowl to beat the egg whites in. All in all, you come across as an amateur home cook, so many will not want another dose.
He is an amateur home cook. I don’t think he’s doing this for clicks. It’s something he enjoys doing, along with making music. Although all of your feedback was very interesting, and needed, it was a little bit cranky. At least he’s doing something. Try to find some compassion and kindness in your comments.
That’s nicely said, Fren. Thanks for the constructive criticism.🙏🏻
I liked it! If you don't mind a suggestion, I'd say that putting a quick list of ingredients on screen for reference would be handy, because otherwise viewers have to go back through it all to write each one down. Great start, looking forward to more!
It’s now in the description.
I will do in the video description. Thanks for watching!🤗
That's pretty cool.
Started doing keto again about a month ago now. Will check out the vid.
Update: I approve of the flanel.
However, with that soundtrack, I feel like the buns you're creating should actually be uber destructo weapons to be deployed in the stratosphere during a life-or-death struggle between white hat earthlings and nasty DS aliens.
But I digress. Practical enough.
I got that old Vangelis vibe from the music...
Edit- check out his other one, Butter Cookies, see if you like that music more
It’s just music I created 25 years ago which length fits the movie length. I am editing my cookies recipe later today, BTW. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Aha. Impactful music. I felt like I had a big scifi thriller running in the background as I watched the buns. Currently doing keto, am interested to try the buns sometime.
Thanks for posting!!!
...and you have a Moog?! Because of course. Awesome 😎
This one I dedicate to you: https://youtu.be/LJUipIM5rfQ 🥳
The Moog Studio 3-tier was my Christmas present to me: https://youtu.be/S13yZT1MXkc
