Dowie's Sticky Buns by Marlene Piccolo
dough: 1 1/4 cups water, 3 tbsp butter or margarine, 3 tbsp. sugar, 2 tbsp. dry milk powder, 1 tsp salt, 3 cups flour, 2 tsp. yeast
filling: 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened (4 TBLSP) 2/3 cup (DARK) brown sugar, 1 tbsp. cinnamon
sauce: 1/2 cup brown sugar (3/4 CUP DARK BROWN), 1/4 cup butter or margarine (5 TBLS), 1/4 cup corn syrup (6 TBLS DARK CORN SYRUP), 1/2 cup pecans (optional) (3/4 CUP TOASTED, CHOPPED)
Layer ingredients in bread machine pan and select dough setting. When completed turn dough onto floured surface. Roll out to a 16x10" rectangle. Spread the softened butter or marg. over the dough. Sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up from long side and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices. In saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter or marg. and syrup. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Stir in pecans. (if using) Pour into a greased 9x13" pan. Place buns over the top. (I always cover and refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning) Or-cover and let rise until doubled about 1 hour. Bake at 350º for 20 (25 MINUTES or a bit longer as I like them a bit browned). Cool for 3 minutes then invert onto serving platter. *** I did not use my bread machine and did these by hand and they work just as well. They are a very simple and great sticky bun. Soft and puffy and almost like marshmallows. I love that you can get them ready in the evening, taking little time, and then just warm them up for about a half hour from the fridge and bake them.

Amber Brooks' Lemon Custard
1 x Lemon cut ends off then Quartered (Remove any seeds you can see but don't worry about the others. Blend the lemon in the blender so it's pulverized). Add all these to blender: 4 eggs, 1 to 3/4 cup of WheyLow, 2 Tbs Butter.
Blend all for 30 to 45 seconds so it's liquid. Pour into Frozen pie shell. Bake at 325 30 to 45min until custard is solid around the sides. Let cool. Serve warm or chilled. Refrigerate un-served portion as eggs are used in the recipe. You may add an extra egg if you wish. I used 4 and it didn't quite fill the pie shell.

Paula Kirsch's recipe for Two Single Pie Crusts (or One Double Crust)
1 and 1/3 cup Lite White Flour Blend, 1/4 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. Whey Low, 1/2 cup shortening, 5 to 6 TBSP ice water
Mix the flour blend, salt , sweetener and cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or food processor. Add the water and stir only until moistened. Divide the dough into 2 parts and form into flat disks. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Heavily flour a surface and roll each disk to an 11" circle (crusts will be thin). Carefully fold in half, then in half again the opposite way (looks like a 1/4 wedge of a pie). Fit into pie pans that have an inside measure of 9" and are 1" high. Crimp edges and prick entire crust with a fork. Bake at 400 to 425, center rack until lightly golden (10 to 15 minutes). These crusts puff and crisp beautifully after baking and are the best I've tasted--high or low carb.
Each 1/8 piece of pie crust has these facts: 80 calories, 6.5g fat, 2.25mg sodium, 5g carbs, 2.5g fiber, 2.1g protein, Net Carbs = 2.5g.

Heidi McCullough's Glazed Nuts

2 T butter, 1/3 cup Whey Low Granular, 1 cup raw unblanched almonds, salt to taste, 1 t vanilla
In a heavy skillet, combine butter, Whey Low and almonds over medium heat. Stir as the butter and Whey Low melt. Sprinkle liberally with salt. Continue stirring until syrup is nicely caramelized (the color of toffee) and almonds are toasted. (You'll be able to smell them.) Remove from heat and stir in a liberal teaspoon of vanilla, combining well. Spread on buttered foil or a non-stick pan, spreading out as well as possible to separate nuts. Allow to cool, and store in an airtight container.
If using pecans, allow butter and Whey Low to caramelize slightly before adding nuts: pecans toast much faster.
