Graham Cracker Success!

I posted about this several months ago. I had tried doing a gluten-free version of graham crackers using this recipe from Top Secret Recipes - Open Original Shared Link

They came out good, but overly sweet. I wasn't craving sweets at all, so I hadn't tried to tweak the recipe after that.

Well, we're going camping tomorrow (SMORES!!!!) and so I decided to try the recipe again, just cutting the sugar. And it's WONDERFUL!!!

Here's the recipe:

1/3 cup shortening

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3 tablespoons honey (warmed in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds)

1.5 teaspoons vanilla

3 cups Pamela's Ultimate Pancake and Baking Mix

1/2 cup water (I used a little less)

Preheat oven to 275 F.

Cream together shortening, honey and vanilla in a large bowl.

Add Pamela's Mix one cup at a time. I just cut it together with a fork. It ends up being kind of mealy looking, but just work it together until all three cups are incorporated.

Add water a little at a time. This will bring it together into a dough. Add just enough water to make a cookie dough consistency. I used all of the 1/2 cup except for a tablespoon or so.

To make the graham crackers I just roll the dough into walnut-sized balls. Place on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray On a big cookie sheet, I put six. Then I used a flat-bottomed bowl, dipped it in sugar and flattened them. They are about 4 inch rounds.

Sounds like just about the perfect size for S'mores.

Bake them at 275 for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and delicious.

:D

Oooohh, that sounds good - I'm going to have to try this recipe. I'm excited that it has no eggs or milk! Another yummy way to make s'mores is to make "Cowboy S'mores". You take 2 gluten-free chocolate chip cookies (I always make homemade) and put the toasted marshmallow between them. Talk about delicious! We always take chocolate chip cookies camping with us so I can have s'mores too. Then you don't have to mess with separate chocolate and crackers.

      I just got my test results after a less than 2-week gluten challenge consuming about 5 g of gluten per day on average.  Anti tTG-IgA: <0.2 AU/ml (<8 is negative) IgA: 180 mg/dl (Reference range is 70-400) I previously had been on a gluten-free diet for around 3 years or so, with occasional cheating and not being strict about cross-contamination. I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches). Is this likely to be NCGS rather than celiac disease given the test results and my history? Note: I have one copy of HLA-DQ8.

      How long have you been strictly gluten free? Certainly, it would be good to look into vitamin and mineral deficiencies and supplementation. The B vitamins, magnesium and D3 are all very important to neurological health. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to reverse gluten-induced neurological damage damage if it has gone on for a long time.

      Thanks Trents I'm strict with my gluten-free diet now. I just don't feel any better. I'm going to get tested for vitamins and minerals to see if I need some supplements. For sure I got some damage that doctors call Menier's and the only way they treat it is with medicine that does damage my body more than it helps.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small...
