Odd flavor/New box awesome flavor
I want to give my review of this and if someone tells me some tricks, I will change my review. So far I have made pancakes, many rounds of biscuits, crepes, bread, and pizza dough. Everything seems to look like it should, but the flavor. Wow. Just so synthetic or plastic. Does not matter what I add. If I do biscuits I have tried increasing the butter and end up with butter flavored synthetic tasting biscuits. I am not sure if it is the batch I purchased that maybe the container was placed in the Amazon warehouse somewhere that was next to something synthetic or what? I just cannot get passed this plastic taste in whatever I make. It is not like the other ingredients vary that much from dish to dish. I asked my husband with the first batch of biscuits, what do you think? Well, they look like biscuits. Flaky like a biscuit. He said is there something you put in it? I said why? He said don't know just a very strange after taste. I wanted him to explain because I had already made my decision after the first bite what it tasted like to me. He said don't know. Cannot describe the after taste other than fake if that makes any sense. I said you mean man-made synthetic something???? He said yeah. Like it is fake. You know like the flavor of a scrambled egg scrambled in a pan versus one put in a microwave. Just something off. We kept trying other things and just cannot get rid of that synthetic plastic taste. Any advice would be great. If that is just the flavor and you have to get used to it, no thanks. I have taste buds for a reason and will just made try almond flour or coconut flour and see if I can do something different......................... I AM AMMENDING THIS POST: After posting the initial comments about Carbquick, a representative from the manufacturer contacted me directly. Her name is Shannon. She sent me a free box and the flavor was clearly different. It is possible the product I ordered from Amazon was old or not stored properly and thus tasted like plastic. I have used almost the entire box of Carbquick Shannon sent me. The biscuits are awesome. The pancakes awesome. The pizza crust awesome. I am going to make some bread next but need to order more. I will be ordering direct from the manufacturer to ensure quality of the product. Thanks Shannon for reading through these posts and taking action.
