This is yellow Lupin Flour, so when used in a low-carb recipe it will darken to the colour of ginger cake. Taste-wise, it is reminiscent of mild rye, so comes with a sourdough taste even if not using it for a sourdough recipe: slightly tangy and mildly bitter. That means in a cake recipe you need to add other strong flavours to balance it out, carrot cake, coffee cake, walnut cake, ginger cake, parkin, maltloaf, ect., would be perfect. If you *don't need a gluten-free flour* add 20g of vital wheat gluten to tighten the mixture. If you *do need gluten-free* you will need extra egg yolks or egg replacer and slightly less moisture to compensate otherwise it will be a very loose mix (which will collapse a bit after cooking) by simply swapping wheat for lupin flour. The texture of cakes after you cook them is moist and soft, like a pudding.

Lupin flour is not easy to get in supermarkets or on the high street so I was delighted to find it here. It is the best flour, I think, for those with a propensity to make kidney stones. My first attempts to use it in cakes (where I used to use almond flour) have been a little stodgy so I think I will add a little more egg and liquid next time, but even at the moment they are very acceptable and I shalll be ordering more.

Not the most pleasant tasting of flour substitutes, but good for a Keto diet, so I use it in stronger flavoured things like onion bhajee , even made an pizza base with it.
