Best Low Carb Pastry Recipes
When someone mentions pies, tarts, pasties and quiche, thoughts of home cooked comfort foods resonate in our minds. Whether you have a sweet tooth or prefer the more savoury things in life, there’s plenty of delicious pastry recipes to go around. We have collated our favourite low carb pastry recipes, all of which are also significantly lower in calories and reduced sugar, as always. These are sure to be firm dinnertime favourites.
Lo-Dough vs Standard Pastry
Lo-Dough bases work wonders for your pizzas, wraps, as a flour replacement for baking, but did you know you can also use it as a fantastic and versatile pastry alternative? Although the bases don’t quite share the same properties as standard filo pastry, it perfectly slots into any low carb diet. You can still create all of your favourite recipes while reducing carbs by up to 90% and without compromising on flavour.
Quiche Lorraine
2g carbs per quarter
Quiche Lorraine is a timeless classic in the pastry sphere. It can be enjoyed at any time of the day, hot or cold, and by swapping out the quiche pastry for a Lo-Dough base, you can enjoy a whole quarter for little over 2g carbs.
Veggie Quiche
3g carbs per quarter
A really easy and delicious way to sneak in some of your five a day. Perfect served hot or cold for lunch and dinner.
Smoked Salmon Quiche
3g carbs per quarter
This is the ultimate breakfast quiche. Smoked salmon and eggs are a staple on any breakfast menu and work a treat in this quiche too. It is both low carb and keto-friendly.
Chorizo Sausage Rolls
3g carbs per sausage roll
Chorizo is one of life’s most distinctive and delicious flavours. It’s unsurprising, then, that these awesome low carb sausage rolls share both of these features!
Sausage Roll Bites
4g carbs per double roll
These tear-and-share sausage roll bites are the ultimate party finger food, although we’d be impressed if you were able to share them!
Beef & Stout Pie
8g carbs per serving
Comfort food to feed a crowd. Lo-Dough bases work perfectly as pie lid and are a great low carb replacement for normal filo pastry.
Steak Pasty
5g carbs per pasty
Get your steak bake fix without having to load up on the carbs. Better still, you can enjoy a whole pasty for just 170 calories.
Pea & Celeriac Samosas
8g carbs per samosa
With Lo-Dough, samosas are back on the low carb menu and they are as delicious as ever! We’ve filled ours with one of the lower carb root vegetables, celeriac, and peas - and it works a treat.
Veggie Asparagus Quiche
3g carbs per quarter
This quiche is just as delicious as regular quiche, however it’s made all the healthier by using a Lo-Dough base instead of your pastry. This not only drastically reduces calories and carbs, but also gives you and your gut a healthy boost in fibre.
Apple Pie
12g carbs per quarter
An American classic deliciously brought into the modern day, in the North of England. You can enjoy a sweet slice of the comforting dessert for just 120 calories and 12g carbs.
Egg Custard Tart
2g carbs per quarter
One of all-time favourite desserts here at Lo-Dough HQ. It’s as simple to make as it is delicious and doesn’t taste low in carbs and sugar at all!
Chocolate Orange Tart
8g carbs per portion
Chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven. Often reminding us of Christmas, yet we think you can enjoy this indulgent tart all year round - especially as it’s just 9g carbs per quarter.
2g carbs per quarter
We’re all about thick flans here, and this one is no different. You can enjoy a door wedge slice of this Vanilla Flan for just 2g of carbs and under 1g of sugar.
Pumpkin Pie
5g carbs per quarter
Pumpkin pie is traditionally a calorie-laden US classic dessert, but made with Lo-Dough and using our method, the calories are slashed, with none of the flavour being sacrificed. Indeed, we've saved you so many calories, you could treat yourself to a nice blob of cream on the side...
Pecan Pie
2g carbs per quarter
Our pecan pie is a triumph, and a low carbers dream! Using Lo-Dough as a pastry replacement and replacing the sugars and syrups with erythritol sweetener (a brilliant sweetener for use in low-sugar baking and cooking), we have reduced the carb impact down to just what is contained within the nuts - little over 2g carbs per slice.
Lemon Meringue Pie
4g carbs per quarter
Tangy lemon custard sits inside a Lo-Dough case and is topped with pillow-soft meringue. Traditionally, this is an extremely high-sugar dessert, but by swapping the pastry out for Lo-Dough and the sugar out for sweetener (we use erythritol), you can reduce the sugar down to next to nothing and with that, the calories drop down too!
Raspberry & Custard Tart
5g carbs per quarter
Sometimes the simplest things in life are what we all crave. This dessert is no exception. Sweet, vanilla custard and sweet/tart raspberries make the most incredible (and moreish) dessert combo. This is sweet indulgence taken up to 11, for only 5g carbs per quarter.
