Crumpets
At last, a recipe and flour for making gluten free crumpets! These quantities will make about 20 crumpets, but they freeze well (though they are a little tedious to cook).
Chelsea Buns
Our new discovery Schar Gluten-Free Bread Mix makes great cinnamon rolls and chelsea buns.
GF Milllionaire’s shortbread
A well-established favourite, but what is really needed is the dairy-free (maybe even vegan) version.
Lemon Chiffon Cake
Inspired by Ravneet Gill’s recipe (https://www.theguardian.com/food/2024/mar/15/lemon-chiffon-cake-recipe-ravneet-gill ) but adapted to 1/4 the size and to be gluten and dairy free.
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).
Mom’s Peanut Brittle
This is Derek’s Mum’s recipe and is a tradition for us on Christmas Eve. The quantities are substantial and unless you’re feeling brave with boiling caramel, I’d recommend you halve them for your first few attempts.
Treacle Tart (gluten-free and dairy-free)
This delicious pudding makes a great alternative to Sticky Toffee Pudding. the recipe was inspired by a recipe in The Guardian created by Benjamina Ebuehi, adapted to be gluten and dairy-free.
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.
Muffins
These muffins are our gluten-free staple, good made with blackberries, cranberries, raspberries and blueberries (not strawberries though). There are also pear and ginger muffins, cinnamon pecan muffins, lemon poppy seed muffins and other inventions yet to be imagined:-) All can be made by adapting this basic recipe.
