Gluten Free and Specialty Diet Recipes

Fresh out of the oven for easter

Those are very pretty!

Hey.  Would these be a good non- sweet biscuit?  My son and his Celiac friend are always looking for a nice biscuit to put gravy on or dump chili on.  They use the gluten-free

Bisquick now but it's only "OK".

Not really they have no binders in them, they crumb really easy, this would not work for a biscuit. As a scone this works great, not so much in something that is supposed to be more tough. I made some tough textured dinner rolls grain free that reminds me of those cheap ones in the square packages, deduce that binder in half for a softer biscuit like texture and do more more by whisking the eggs before use. Other options would be my cheddar biscuit recipe might really be a hit with them.

The cheddar biscuit!  That might work.... as long as Mom buys the ingredients. ( and she / me would) Lol

As an alternative to the gluten-free Bisquick, I've seen other people say that Pamela's gluten-free baking mix ( Open Original Shared Link ) is much better.  I found it at our local Fred Meyer's, so it seems likely it's a common item at any of the Kroger store chains.  Haven't tried it yet, so I can't offer personal opinion, only hearsay ;-) 

(And those lemon scones look terrific!)

Umm no offense but this is counter productive to my post/blog ...the whole point of these is grain free, corn free, low carb, and dairy free....while I have suggested pamela products on my alternative list on another post, this blog is focused on no gluten, corn, dairy and lowering carbs, grains, and starches. Pamela product you suggested is something I would not feed my family, friends, and even refuse to allow in my kitchen or use as a chef. It is a heavy grain, carb bases, and use dairy products (lets not go off on this tangent). They do make a paleo blend, a grain free, blend and a dairy free blend I might suggest though for pancakes.

While I do appreciate the comment on the scone looks.....this for ME is like someone going to our celiac forum and telling use to Aunt Jemima pancake mix cause the gluten flour makes it taste great....I have reactions to lactose intolerance, whey allergies, and can not eat carbs to put this in perspective.

If you want a good baking flour and since your local store stocks the Pamela brand the following might be appropriate to use and match the low carb, grain free diet this blog is about. I personally do my own blends of almond, and coconut flours to keep pricing down (walnut, pecan, etc are expensive)  Open Original Shared Link
