Gluten Free Yeast Biscuits (Egg-Free)

Previously, the most success I have had making gluten free biscuits is by adding egg, like in my Fluffy Gluten Free Biscuits Recipe. Today, I developed this gluten free yeast biscuits recipe that turned out just as good. A matter of fact, this recipe has those amazing, sought-after layers we all aspire to. In addition, this recipe does not call for butter but shortening (I use organic), which makes them a little crisp on the bottom and edges. They were extremely tasty and my gluten-eating husband agrees.

Gluten Free Oat Flour Substitute – Sorghum Flour Substitute

You always want to use the same weight of the original flour when substituting with another gluten free flour. See my Gluten Free Weight Conversions Chart.

However, if you are substituting by the use of measuring cups, the approximate substitution would go as follows:

Using the above linked chart, 112 g of sorghum flour is equal to 1 cup. So, 75 g sorghum flour = 2/3 cup. And 95g oat flour = 1 cup. So, 3/4 cup would weigh 71 g. You see, they are very close in weight. Therefore, if you wish to substitute sorghum flour for oat flour or vice versa, you can just use equal weights or the above formula for cup measurements.

Thus far, I have only tested this theory in bread. However, I have tested other ingredients using the same weight of ingredients that were used in a traditional recipe and it worked it out extremely well. Of course, you need to begin with a good recipe and the correct ratio of starches, flours, gums, or gum alternative.

Hopefully you can use this tip in your gluten free baking. Let me know how it goes by commenting below.

Dairy Free Substitute for Butter (Gluten Free)

Often times, going gluten free isn’t enough. If you’ve decided to try or are already on a dairy free, you’ll many substitutes for dairy items. Let’s get started by addressing a dairy free substitute for butter!

Butter is usually the hardest dairy item to substitute. Let’s look at what butter is made: 80% fat + 20% water.

Coconut Oil or Refined Coconut Oil

I have tried using 80% refined organic coconut oil (refined doesn’t have any coconut flavor) plus 20% water and it came pit awfully close, but just did not quite contain enough fat. So, when using refined or regular coconut oil, try using 80% + 20% full-fat coconut milk or 90% coconut oil + 10% water.

Palm Oil

My favorite substitute for butter or coconut oil using the above formula is palm oil made by either Essential Depot or Okanarur. I first began using palm oil in gluten free vegan cookies for a recipe development client and they all turned out amazing! He thought so as well.
