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.

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.

Freezer Cookies

This does make a good oatmeal / raisin cookie or chocolate chip cookie.

Java Beef Rendang

This came from a website by Bobby Ananta, but the website seems to be long gone. The end result should be a very flavourful, hot and spicy, dry curry.

Orange sandwich creams

You could adapt this recipe to make custard creams by using custard powder instead of orange zest (in biscuit and filling).

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.

Chelsea Buns

Our new discovery Schar Gluten-Free Bread Mix makes great cinnamon rolls and chelsea buns.
