I wanted to try out my newly developed Cup for Cup Gluten Free Flour Blend recipe; therefore, I created this new recipe for gluten free baked donuts. They are light in texture very similar to gluten glazed donuts that are deep-fried. Continue reading “Tender Baked Gluten Free Donut Recipe”
Thomas Keller is a cookbook Author, chef, and owner of the world renowned restaurant, The French Laundry in Yountville, California, where you have to wait months for a reservation. One of his restaurant chefs, Lena Kwak, had created a gluten free cup for cup flour blend that she used in the restaurant. After one of their gluten free guests cried after tasting Lena’s brioche, and having not had bread for over 10 years, Lena knew that she had to share her talents with the world.

Most creme brulee recipes are naturally gluten-free, but when you add canned pumpkin puree, you have to be careful that the manufacturer has not added any gluten containing ingredients. I used evaporated cane sugar to caramelize my gluten free pumpkin creme brulee as the sugar granules are larger. Coarse sugar is the best sugar to use in this case. However, granulated sugar works okay, too. Before you know it, Thanksgiving will be upon us and I thought you may like to use this recipe for one of your desserts. It’s great because you can make it in advance and it is an recipe. Enjoy the fall season.

While I have a few recipes for chocolate chip cookies on this site, they are either double chocolate, soft, or a bit crunchy. This one is your typical chewy gluten free chocolate chip cookies.

This is gluten free meatloaf is a traditional Italian meatloaf, but topped with a couple slices of bacon for a perfect addition of flavor. I am always experimenting with tomato-free meatloaf recipes and I was very pleased with this one. Some of the best meatloaf recipes contain a mixture of beef and pork, but this is a way to get that pork flavor with smoky accents. Continue reading “Gluten Free Meatloaf Recipe Topped with Bacon”
This velvety chocolate marquise recipe is a European favorite. This cake is topped with whipped cream and surrounded by a mascarpone caramel sauce. The scrumptious sauce is a combination of caramel sauce and creamy mascarpone cheese. It is another European specialty, decadence at its best. (Be sure to check out the Tip section for substitutions and variations.) Continue reading “Chocolate Marquise Recipe: Flourless and Gluten Free”
This head-turning, gluten free trifle recipe is both colorful and delicious. The cherry glaze shimmers over the fresh cherries and while the colorful, contrasting colors catch your eye. Instead of using gluten-free sponge cake, I used chocolate brownies. With layers of sweetened whipped cream, the flavors balance perfectly. Use fresh cherries when they are in season, or defrost frozen cherries when not. Another option is to substitute the cherries for another fruit with matching flavored jam. You can easily turn this into a strawberry gluten free trifle recipe. Continue reading “Chocolate Cherry Gluten Free Trifle Recipe”
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”
Because this gluten free crackers recipe contains so much butter, it can be easily made using any gluten free all-purpose flour mix you regularly enjoy.
