Gluten Free Frostings

I remembered previously someone was looking for gluten-free frosting. All Pillsbury frosting is gluten free except coconut pecan. I have read conflicting things about Duncan Hines. All their CREAMY frosting is gluten free except butter cream and coconut pecan. None of their whipped frosting is gluten-free.

Happy Baking! :)

Thanks for the info on the frostings. They are so much easier than making it from scratch.

Thanks! I didn't think Duncan Hines was gluten free. Good to know.

Are you kidding? :blink: Or maybe you don't have an electric mixer?

If you have an electric mixer (stand mixer is best), it takes all of three minutes and 4 ingredients:

1 stick of unsalted butter (room temperature)

3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted (I often skip the sifting and it's fine)

3-4 tablespoons milk (cream is even yummier!)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract.

Beat butter by itself 30 seconds til fluffy, add everything, mix on low til sugar is incorporated (1 minute), beat 1 more minute on medium. DONE.

You can add 1 more tablespoon milk if it's too stiff.

For chocolate frosting, decrease sugar to 3 cups, and add 1/2-2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and a pinch of salt.

If you forget to take your butter out of the fridge, you can defrost it in the microwave on the defrost setting for 30-60 seconds.

And homemade TASTES so much better than the cans, which have a very strong rancid shortening odor to my nose and a strong chemical taste to boot.

I wish I could e-mail you some good homemade frosting!!!! :P

Ditto on the homemade frosting tasting so much better then the cans. Besides, with canned frosting, there are no beaters to lick!

Thanks for posting on the frosting. Good info to know. I don't have a mixer, I am not the best baker in the world, but Fiddle-Faddle that recipe you posted sounds very tasty. Thank You!

Dear JennyC,

Thank you so much for posting this! I was wondering if any would be safe! Sometimes I do not have time to make them from scratch, or I am out of bowls. We could not afford to buy all new stuff, so I have a very limited selection of pans right now! I have one mixing bowl, a cookie sheet, a wok, and a saucepan. That is all, aside from a wooden spatula, a wooden spoon, and another wooden spoon (all of which were new and only used for gluten-free cooking.)

Dear Alison,

Thank you for the recipe! I would love to try that soon! I have not had a lot of time for special baking lately. I would love to attempt a french bread! The problem is, I cannot use yeast either. This is going to be tricky.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Tazfromoz · Posted

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
