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)”

The Perfect Gluten Free Pumpkin Cheesecake (No cracks or sinking)

My daughter called me up asking for advice on how to prevent a pumpkin cheesecake or any cheesecake from cracking. She had tried cooling in the oven as well as cooling on the countertop prior to refrigerating. However, her attempts all failed. I shared with her all of my tricks and told her to apply all of them and to be patient. She was elated. Her cheesecake finally did not crack! She told me the words a mother always wants to hear, “I should listen to you more often!” I’ve included everything she did. So, if your cheesecake has been cracking or falling, follow these instructions to the T! Don’t forget to read the Tips section as well.

Take the American classic, mac and cheese, and turn it into a delicious and hearty appetizer that doesn’t need an oven, which is important during the holidays.

Gluten Free Loaded Quiche (Bacon)

Gluten Free Loaded Bacon Quiche

Similar to a loaded baked potato, this loaded gluten free quiche is a treasure trove of decadence. Bacon, caramelized onion, sauteed red peppers, cheddar cheese, and cream (or sour cream) make this quiche amazing. However, the flaky easy-to-make Gluten Free Cream Cheese Pastry Crust with its tender and flakiness is the shining star of this dish. However, it does not detract from its flavorful filling.

Gluten Free Puff Pastry Dough – Small Batch for Cake Bases or Pastries

Gluten Free Phyllo Dough Recipe

If you’re looking for a small batch gluten free puff pastry, this recipe is perfect to use as a base for up to 12-inch round pans or about 4 Danish pastries. When baked in a 9-1/2-inch springform pan, it will shrink about 1-1/2 inches. This small batch recipe is one-quarter of the recipe that you will find here. In addition, I’ve added a new ingredient substitute that will help prevent sogginess in cakes where this pastry is used as a base. This is especially useful for desserts filled with custard. I’m using this as a base to make a St. Honore cake like the famous bakery, Victoria Pastry Company, makes in San Francisco. Enjoy!
