These gluten free butter cookies are named “sables” after the town in which they were first made in 1670, Sablé-sur-Sarthe, a town in West France. The word means “sand” which is fitting of these cookies as they are tender and have soft crumbs that crumble easily. They are also known as “sand butter” cookies. Generally you make them without eggs, but if you prefer, you may make them with heavy cream. Roll out and cut the dough. You can even sandwich them with your desired filling. However, the dough may simply be sliced and baked. Sables compliment custards, poached fruit, and other moist desserts, similar to biscotti. Of course, you can serve them with coffee, tea, or milk, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Butter Cookies (French Sablés)”

My new gluten free yellow butter cake recipe is perfect for this gluten free checkerboard cake. You don’t want to use a thin batter in a checkerboard cake because when you remove the divider ring the batters will run into one another. Yes. You need a special ring for this recipe. I have linked to the Wilton’s Checkerboard Cake Pan Set in the ingredients list. It is so fun to make this cake. Don’t feel intimidated as it is not complicated at all. It turned out very moist and delicious. You may skip the chocolate and add another flavored extract or food coloring to the other half of the batter. You can make it to fit any holiday color scheme. Be creative and enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Checkerboard Cake Recipe”
I already have a Gluten Free Yellow Cake Recipe on this site, but it calls for my Self-Rising Gluten Free Cake Flour Blend. Since creating that recipe over two years ago, I find that my Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend Recipe works much better in gluten free cake recipes, provided you add a bit more oil or butter compared to gluten cakes. This yellow cake recipe is much richer than a normal yellow cake. It contains tons of butter, is moist, but is not heavy like pound cakes. Use it as a substitute for any gluten free yellow cake. Feel free to decrease the butter to make a more traditional yellow cake. Meanwhile, all of your gluten-eating friends will even enjoy this cake.
You may be wondering the difference between a waffle and a pancake batter. A gluten free waffle recipe often calls for whole eggs. In this recipe, I have made them the traditional way, separating the egg yolks and whites. The whites are whipped until stiff and then folded into the batter at the end. This lends an airier texture to waffles versus an almost cake-like pancake texture. The other difference between waffles and pancakes is the fat content. Waffles contain more fat (oil or butter) which makes them crisper. Continue reading “Classic Gluten Free Waffle Recipe”
This gluten free graham cracker pie crust recipe is made in one simple step. There is no need to make homemade gluten free graham crackers and then crumble them up.

Pate choux in French is a dough made simply with eggs, flour, and sugar. In America, this dough is used for cream puffs. This particular gluten free cream puff recipe is shaped as rings instead of the typical puff and is filled with a caramel whipped cream. The real Fench name for this dessert is Paris Brest. They make a spectacular presentation. I added toasted almond slices to mine and a sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar. You can use regular whipped cream and add strawberry sauce, as I did in my original gluten free cream puff recipe (see below link). Enjoy!

You can make this gluten free pear crumble recipe much easier by using canned pears. However, fresh pears are full of vitamins and minerals. No matter what flour blend you use, it should out about the same because the recipe calls for very little flour. Note, though, tapioca browns easier, but is chewy, and cornstarch has high crisping qualities, and potato starch with just a little less. I have also provided some holiday garnish suggestions. This recipe can be made allergen-free if you skip the nuts. Continue reading “Gluten Free Pear Crumble”
