Ingredients

1/2 cup protein powder

1/8 cup vital wheat gluten

1 tablespoon soy flour

1 dsh salt

1 egg

1/8 cup water

Preparation

Mix first 4 ingredients together in bowl. In a separate bowl, slightly beat egg and and water. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and mix well to get a bread-type dough. Roll out thin and cut into strips, like fettuccini, or pinch off into little pieces (for spaetzel).

Drop into boiling water. Let boil 1 to 2 minutes - watch carefully and do not overboil as strips may become gummy. Drain well, butter if you like, and top with your favorite low-carb sauce.
