The Perfect Gluten Free Pecan Pie Crust

Gluten Free Pecan Pie Crust Filled with Cheesecake

This is a pie crust that contains pecans and flour versus my Gluten Free Graham Cracker Pecan Pie Crust or Flourless Pecan Pie Crust. So, you won’t get any honey graham cracker flavor nor a solid pecan crust. It’s the perfect combination, creating the perfect texture! Just press the dough into a pie plate or springform pan. It is quite delicious without imparting any flavors besides pecan but with a perfect pie crust texture. It’s the best of both worlds! You may add cinnamon if you desire.

No Starch Added Gluten Free Butter Cookies + Video (by Hand or with Cookie Press)

No Starch Added Gluten Free Spritz and Cut-out Cookies

Without the use of any white starch such as potato, tapioca, corn, or arrowroot, you can make these delicious gluten free spritz cookies or gluten free cut-cut butter cookies. The recipe calls for one flour and one gum. The remaining ingredients are standard cookie ingredients. I rolled out some of the dough and cut several different shapes out. I also used my Wilton Cookie Press to make others. While it took three recipes to create this recipe, they’re fairly easy to make, especially by hand.

Wheat-Like Gluten Free Bread Recipe (Grain-, Gum- & Dairy-Free)

Wheat-Like Gluten Free Bread

Miss the taste of wheat? Make this wheat-like gluten free bread in your oven or in a bread machine with a gluten free setting. I used the Breadman BK1050S. The bread not only tastes like wheat bread but is fibrous as well. Use it for sandwiches or toast. Due to its high-fiber content, it holds plenty of moisture.  The shocker is that this bread contains nuts but tastes nothing like nuts at all.

Easy Gluten Free Puff Pastry Substitute (Yeast-Free) + Pull Apart Appetizers – Mini Tacos

Gluten Free Puff Pastry Meat Pies Presentation

This dairy-free pastry dough is easy to make. Use as a gluten free substitute for puff pastry. It puffs up nicely. Use it for pot pies, hot pocket, hand pies, and more. Traditional Gluten Free Puff Pastry , which creates several layers of buttery dough, takes hours to prepare. Even my Small Batch Puff Pastry Recipe is a bit of a chore. However, this recipe works well for pastries and pies in a snap. There is no need to chill the dough before you roll it out. It is easy to roll, handle, and transfer. It is just a little heavier than traditional puff pastry.

Gluten Free Brazilian Cream Donuts – Doughnuts (Sonho)

Gluten Free Sonhos - Brazilian Cream Donuts

In Brazil, donuts are referred to as “sonhos” meaning “dreams”. The typical Brazilian donut recipe is more of a cake donut and yeast-risen. After making two different yeast-risen batches, I decided on skipping the yeast altogether. This recipe is light, airy, and tender.  They get additional sweetness from a dusting of sugar and cinnamon as well as pastry cream filling. The rich filling makes these gluten free Brazilian cream donuts (or doughnuts) famous for its richness. They are so good, Christmas morning wouldn’t be the same without them in many countries. I’m thinking Easter brunch as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Brazilian Cream Donuts – Doughnuts (Sonho)”

Arugula Salad with Grapes & Candied Pecans with Maple Vinaigrette

Arugula Grapea and Candied Pecan Salad with Maple Vinaigrette

I recently found a bunch of arugula growing in my garden that sprouted up from last year, I decided to make a salad to use it up. Well, I have found a new love, arugula salad! Arugula is slightly peppery. So, adding sweet grapes, red grapes for color, and a sweet and tangy salad dressing, really balances out the flavors. Then, when you throw in the three different textures, arugula, grapes, and candied pecans, you have yourself a sensation!
