Flour Mix-center Of Cookies Won't Bake Completely

Hi,

I must have been distracted last time I mixed my flours. I've made pancakes and cookies with the batch and neither one have turned out. The center of the cookies will not cook completely (I left them in the oven for as long as 12 minutes-too brown)

I used Carol Fenster's mix of 1 1/2 Sorghum, 1 1/2 potato starch & 1 cup tapioca. Do you think it could be to much starch and not enough sorghum? I'm assuming maybe I didn't get 1 1/2 cups in the mix because it has worked perfectly in the past.

Thanks

That has happened to me, too. I have now started to use a whisk to mix the flours when I make the blend, which has helped. But, sometimes I have to bake stuff longer than she says in the cookbook.

I love her stuff, and I have the 1,000 Recipes, but there's stuff in there that's just wacky. Like in her Fresh Figs with Honey and Goat Cheese, her recipe calls for parmiggiano reggiano, and no goat cheese. :huh: Soooo, could be that something was overlooked and the cooking time needs to be adjusted. The flour blend is still my favorite, though. I made the focaccia bread this weekend for my family, and my aunt requested that I make it the next night, too!! :D

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fa...

      Gluten tester

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      Your approach makes a lot of sense — focusing on balanced meals and being cautious about cross-contamination is smart, especially when you’re traveling or unsure of a kitchen’s gluten-free practices. Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can h...

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      I agree, unfortunately a gluten challenge means intentional gut damage and inflammation to those with celiac disease, and taking lots of AN-PEP enzymes could potentially decrease this and skew the results, although I've not seen specific studies on this idea.

Many GF foods do lean toward higher sugar or processed ingredients, so prioritizing whole foods (lean protein, fruits, veggies, healthy fats) at meals can help keep energy steady. For snacks that fill you up, look for protein bars with simple ingredients, higher protein, and lower added sugars — reading labels is key on GF bars since “gluten-free” doesn’t always equal healthy. Pairing a salad with a quality protein bar when you’re unsure about a restaurant’s GF safety is a great strategy to avoid symptoms while still feeling nourished.

      Not validated

      I’m really sorry you’re going through this — what you’re describing is, unfortunately, something many long-term celiac patients encounter. A negative blood test after decades gluten-free does not rule out biopsy-proven celiac disease, and it’s frustrating that your documented history isn’t being taken seriously. Being dismissed while you’re dealing with menopause-related changes, neurological concerns, and recovery from a demanding job would exhaust anyone, and it’s understandable that this is affecting your mental health. You deserve care that looks at the full picture, not quick conclusions, and it’s okay to keep advocating for yourself or seek a provider who truly understands complex autoimmune cases. You’re not imagining this, and you’re not alone.
