Freezer Cookies
This does make a good oatmeal / raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.
Carrot Cake
Gluten-free, dairy-free and just as good as anyone else’s.
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.
Victoria Sponge Cake
The best recipe for making a Victoria sponge, even though the ratios of ingredients and the mixing method are not quite traditional.
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).
Bourbon biscuits
Classic English chocolate biscuits (cookies) – crisp and sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream.
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.
Waffles
Originally from the San Francisco Chronicle we have adapted this for gluten-free eaters. These freeze and toast (from frozen) really well (better than store-bought).
Gluten free Bread and Butter Pudding
Not pudding in the american sense – or maybe in the half-way sense. Anyway, this is ‘The Pudding Club’s recipe for bread and butter pudding made with gluten free bread.
