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.

GF Milllionaire’s shortbread
A well-established favourite, but what is really needed is the dairy-free (maybe even vegan) version.
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.

Cinnamon bread
A sweet spicy bread for toasting.
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.
