Can You Spare Another Conversion Question . . .

[Rosebud710]

I have my aunt's Kolacky recipe (polish cookie) and would love to make it this year. I would like to use gluten-free flour, but not sure if it would work:

1pkg. yeast (dry or small cake)

9 tblsp. milk or cream

1 tsp. vanilla

3 egg yolks

3 C sifted flour

1/2 tsp. salt

1 C Crisco Shortening

sugar

fruit filling

The recipe calls to use sugar when rolling out the dough instead of flour, so that's a plus! Other than that, would I be able to use a gluten-free flour blend in place of flour?

Thanks!

I would use a mix of flours (rather than a single gluten-free flour) and if the mix doesn't include it, add a bit of xanthan gum.

Thanks! I have a mix I keep in my pantry along with a xantham gum measurement guide I got off of here. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow when my sisters come over to back cookies!

Thanks!

I agree with Happygirl, this is a simple recipe and I would just replace the flours. Be aware, it may need to bake longer than you're used to.
