❓ Q & A
Q: Is this strict carnivore?
Yes — if you stick to meat, eggs, cheese, and pork rinds.
If you’re ultra-strict (lion diet), skip cheese and use only egg + pork rind dough.
Q: Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes. Try this dough instead:
-
1 cup pork rind crumbs
-
2 eggs
-
2 tbsp melted tallow
Mix and press flat instead of rolling (it won’t stretch like cheese dough).
Q: Why is my dough sticky?
It needs:
-
More pork rind crumbs
OR -
To cool slightly before handling
Wet hands help too.
Q: Why did it crack?
You rolled it too thin or overfilled it.
Keep it ¼ inch thick minimum.
Q: Can I air fry it?
Yes!
350°F for 10–15 minutes depending on size.
Q: How do I store it?
Fridge: 3–4 days
Freezer: Up to 2 months
Reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
Q: Can I use chicken instead of beef?
Absolutely.
Ground chicken, shredded rotisserie (plain), or even canned chicken works.
