Everything GLUTEN FREE foods thread!

[Abby5]

oh this is my favourite recipe book-No wheat? No way! by Thersasa Santandrea-Cull-it is also dairy free!--I bought it at Chapters-$19.95

[Abby5]

Because Baking powder has gluten in it and so does icing sugar!

In a large bowl, sift togethter
1/4 c baking soda
1/4 c cream of tartar
1/4 c potatoe starch flour

You can use it just like baking powder in any reciepe

To make your own icing sugar put sugar in the blender until powder

[Abby5]

I also make my own dairy/gf waffles and freeze them

[VeeVee]

Abby can you share the gf waffle recipe? I love waffles...I buy Vans GF ones but if I can make my own I will!

[Abby5]

Here is the waffle recipe:

In large bowl mix together:

1 1/4 c white rice flour
1/4 c potato starch flour
1tbs baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

then stir in until well blended, these ingredients:

2 c dairy free milk
2 egg yolks
1/3 c vegetable oil

Now in another bowl beat until stiff
2 egg whites

Slowly fold egg whites into batter, Scoop with a 3/4 cup measurer and pour it onto hot griddle-Bake 3-5 mintutes or until steam stops

Sometimes when I am lazy I throw it all into a bowl-but they are not so fluffy and light

Ps if you can have dairy -you can use reg milk-same amount

[Abby5]

YUMMY they all sound amazing!
Do you let the waffles cool before you freeze them? I will have to try those!
Thanks

[Abby5]

Yeah usually freeze them after I eat some so the are cool-and I lay them flat on a plate and fast freeze them first than once they are frozen ..keep them in a ziplock bag

[Abby5]

the browies freeze really well too

[VeeVee]

Thanks!

Today I bought a pre-made gf choc chip cookie mix from gluten free pantry...I miss choc chip cookies and milk hehe will let u all know how it turns out.

[Lynn49]

Thank you for those recipes, Abby!

My DH bought a GF Flour mixture...do you think that would work in such
recipes? Other wise it's like we have to have a pantry full of starch this,
flour that, guar-gum or equivalents....Some recipes I've looked at had
a half dozen different dry ingredients (besides the usual ones like seasonings).

I love the waffle recipe and will surely try it...after I head over to the Bulk Barn!

[VeeVee]

I carry around a safe GF ingredients list with me when I shop. Makes it so much easier when I scan ingredients and am stumped. I printed it off this website...its great and informative website as well.

Hah! Yes, great list...I've seen that one before in my travels...

Printing them off is a good idea...

I could put them on WP, minimize them to teensy-size, print them on blank business cards, and put them in a small wallet-type credit card holder to keep them handy!!

...or just print it out teenzy on regular paper and cut them into credit card sizes and stuff them into a credit card wallet!

Some of the campbells chunky soups are gluten free, two that i know of are the turkey (hubby's fave) and the split pea with ham, they list on the back of the label (not in tiny print either) "gluten free" and ofcourse a number of the chapmans ice cream products are gluten free (and all peanut free!)

I bought a blank page book at the dollar store ( about the size of my hand) and I cute the ist and glued them on the pages...teh rest of the book I use for when I find resturants I can eat at or foods I know I can have so when I need to double check quickly I have the book with me.
