    I am going to a gingerbread house making class at the school in which I teach and hope to be able to try your gluten-free version--I'm not celiac just intolerant--recently diagnosed.

    I would love to know what the 'gluten free flour mix' was - it would make using this recipe a whole lot easier for beginners.

    I agree on the "gluten free flour mix'. what does this consist of? Is it a pre made store bough mix, the link takes you to all the different flours, not very helpful. I tried a different recipe and ended up with no rise what so ever in my cookies, using a gluten free "flour mix" made from a cook book. Although yummy I don't want to end up with ginger crumble again.

    Not telling us what is in the gluten free baking mix makes this recipe risky to use. Our time and money is important. If you're going to give us a recipe give the complete ingredients.

    Wonderful recipe - made it yesterday. Great texture and excellent flavor. I always have issues with refrigerated cookie dough crumbling, so I did not refrigerate the dough. I used plastic wrap on a wet counter top (makes a perfect stick-free work surface), sprinkled with with rice flour, and rolled out the dough. It was a fun and easy recipe. Thank you very much. For flour I used 4 parts rice flour to 1 part tapioca flour.

    Anyone cooking for celiacs should know to go to health food store to buy all-purpose gluten free flour. I creamed sugar & butter together. I Combined dry ingredients. I combined molasses, milks, and egg. I added dry & wet ingredients to butter/sugar mixture alternately, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Turned out fine - a little strong for my taste.

    Way to much molasses!!! But otherwise good, next time I make it I won't put the whole cup, maybe like a quarter cup instead.

    This recipe comes to us from Ayesha Iqbal.
    Use in equal measures:
    -Chick pea flour (also known as gram flour and basin in Indian shops)
    -Pounded yam flour

    Mix the two flours together (50:50) with some water and a little oil to produce dough. Leave the dough in the refrigerator to rest (1 hour).
    Make small balls and shape into flat bread and cook in a flat pan / griddle/ frying pan. It can be cooked with or without oil. The dough can stay in the fridge for a few days. The flat bread can be frozen and reheated in the toaster.

    When I first set about to create agreat gluten-free English Muffin, I was initially worried that Iwouldn't have success since I did not own the so-called "bun"pans necessary to make nice, flat, traditional English Muffins. Never one to shy away from baking challenges, I let necessity be theproverbial mother of invention once more (something that has servedme well in this gluten free world!). I actually ended up simplyusing my trusty popover pans, and slicing each “popover” twice,to wind up with three English Muffins per popover. Bonus!

    The results were exceptional: as one non-gluten-free friend told mewhen she sampled them, "I tried them cold; I ...
