Simple White Bread
A pretty good and simple bread recipe.
Gran’s Ginger Biscuits
A recipe I inherited from my grandmother that works surprisingly well with gluten-free flour. They can come out sticky or rock-hard depending on just how much syrup you use (the tablespoon represents the spoon my grandmother would have used, not a exact measure).
Candied orange peel
These are best made with Seville (bitter) oranges, but it might also be good to mix these with some sweet oranges for a bit of variety. The finished peel can be dipped into chocolate if you are after something more special.
Gluten-free Oat Bread
A good-looking loaf of gluten-free bread.
Freezer Cookies
This does make a good oatmeal / raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.
Gluten-free, Dairy-free Christmas Cake
This is a blend of the most successful Victoria sponge recipe (soon to appear here) and a traditional Christmas cake recipe.
GF Milllionaire’s shortbread
A well-established favourite, but what is really needed is the dairy-free (maybe even vegan) version.
Shortbread Swirls
Numerous variations exist from simply forgetting the swirling and making them one flavor, to substituting ginger or cinnamon for the cocoa, or orange rind for the lemon rind. Alternatively add 2oz of nuts instead of 2oz of flour, or 2oz of oats or oatmeal instead of 2oz of flour.
Chelsea Buns
Our new discovery Schar Gluten-Free Bread Mix makes great cinnamon rolls and chelsea buns.
