Orange sandwich creams

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

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).

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.

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.

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).

Bourbon biscuits

Classic English chocolate biscuits (cookies) – crisp and sandwiched together with chocolate buttercream.
