Bourbon biscuits

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

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).

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.

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.

Carrot Cake

Gluten-free, dairy-free and just as good as anyone else’s.

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).

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).

Orange sandwich creams

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