gluten free baking success!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone.

 

Just have to share a recipe that worked for me today that I

actually really enjoyed eating. I'm going gluten-free [at least

for a trial period] which isn't easy for the part of me that

loves to bake.

 

I made my own GF all-purp. flour equivalent using a

recommendation I found on the web.

 

2 T. potato flour plus rice flour to equal 1 cup

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. cream of tartar

1 t. guar gum [or xanthan gum which I couldn't find]

 

Cranberry Honey Scones

1 c. GF flour mix

2 t. baking powder

3 T. butter, softened

1 egg, beaten

1/2 c. dried cranberries

1/2 t. orange zest

1 t. orange juice

soy/rice milk to brush on the tops

 

Add the ingredients in the order listed. If you find the dough

too dry add a splash of your milk.

 

I found this dough very easy to work with and roll out. I cut 2

inch circles. This recipe makes 11 scones.

 

bake at 350F for 7-10 min

 

The texture is slightly different from regular scones but I

didn't find it objectionable in any way and am delighted with

the results. My kids love them too.
