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.

This is somewhat embarrassing, however I will let you know about it. My family and I had a small amount for a pizza and had no issues. It was fabulous! Later in the week we made an additional 2 pizzas and the next day cal zones. Again, great tasting. However, the next day I had a stool I simply could not pass. In my 52 years nothing like this has ever happened to me. I sat on the toilet for 6 hours. It was too large. I drank olive oil, laxatives, all of it and when it did pass, it was the closest thing a man will feel to giving birth. My daughter had the same issue. Maybe it is just our genes, but I would be careful eating large quantities of this (which I did). Personally, I'll never use it again, but it just may be my family. There is no denying it is a great carb substitute, just wanted to let you know what had happened to me. I would start out slow with it.

Just made the pound cake, it is delicious. I read that there was a after taste, no, it is delicious! Make sure that you mix it well. The batter is thick and it does brown by 55 minutes. Before you flip the bunt pan, take a plastic knife and run it around the edges, as well as the middle circle.

This stuff SAVED my Keto diet in about 15 min. I paid for the rush shipping because I was at my wits end trying to live without bread and it arrived right on time. I immediately opened it and found a box covered in recipes (inside and out), I opted to just go with plain old biscuits for my first time and it couldn't have been easier. Simply mix the Carbquik with water, drop in spoonful's on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 12 min and presto you have BISCUITS! Real tasting, smelling and feeling biscuits! I covered mine in butter and homemade sugar free strawberry jam and I was instantly given the boost I needed to continue this way of eating. I can't wait to try all of the other recipes (including pizza crust, cheddar biscuits, cheesecake, chicken parm, etc.). This product has truly saved me! I highly recommend!

While it is priced a little above what I would like to pay, Carbquik delivers a lot. I made some really great biscuits that were perfect in texture and color. If I had placed them next to flour biscuits, I don't expect you would be able to pick them out. However, those with more sensitive taste buds might notice a slight chemical taste to items made with Carbquik, but not everyone will. I ate the biscuits I made with my aunt, and she didn't pick up on anything.

I am not sure if the slight aftertaste is a result of the recipe, the cooking method, or something else, but please keep in mind I have only made biscuits, it might be less (or more ) prominent if I had made the pancakes, or the pizza crust.

Having said that, if you are trying to adhere to a low carb diet, give it a try.
