Can I Make Shortbread

My favorite treat was shortbread.

Just Butter, Sugar and Flour.

Could I make it with cornstarch or cornflour?

I'm not into gluten free baking yet so don't have xanthan gum or rice flour or sorghum or any of those things.

What do you bakers think?? Should I try it?

If it won't work, I will take any recipes you have for Shortbread. I loved the stuff and haven't had any in almost a year.

Shortbread is one of my favourite things, too! Especially the really thick authentic stuff from Scotland. Mmmm....

I make mine with cornstarch and some brown or white rice flour and icing sugar and butter, of course. Have not tried corn flour but it may just work. A bit of either coconut flour or almond flour adds a nice flavour but they absorb more so don't use too much. The rice flour is actually good in shortbread as it makes it more tender. I like vanilla bean shortbread and lavender lemon - just add lemon zest and a few dried lavender flowers. I just took butter out to thaw for making shortbread tomorrow, actually! :)

Oh my God Loves2Travel!!! I was hoping you would answer me! Now you really must give me your recipe, because that authentic Scottish Shortbread is what I want!!!

Thank you for the tips. I considered coconut flour...I have some but haven't used it.

I am happy!

I literally just made shortbread cookies tonight, with Bob's Red Mill shortbread mix. It's actually really very good! I am not a big fan of some of his other mixes, but this was just right. Definitely check it out if you are missing shortbread cookies.

This is such an easy recipe it is embarassing.

I like my shortbread thick so press it into an 8" round pan and refrigerate for an hour before baking at 300. I score into wedges. I also use unsalted butter and sprinkle some fleur de sel on top.

Am looking for my other recipe - when I locate it I will post. This is also good as a cheeescake crust or break up into chunks to put into desserts such as trifle, ice cream, etc.

      EMA Result

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal...

      EMA Result

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mike101020! First, what was the reference range for the ttg-iga blood test? Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated...

      Have I got coeliac disease

      Vitamin D status in the UK is even worse than the US. vitamin D is essential for fighting bone loss and dental health and resistance to infection. Mental health and depression can also be affected by vitamin D deficiency. Perhaps low D is the reason that some suffer from multiple autoimmune diseases.

      EMA Result

      Hi, I recently was informed by my doctor that I had scored 9.8 on my ttgl blood test and a follow up EMA test was positive. I am no waiting for a biopsy but have read online that if your EMA is positive then that pretty much confirms celiac. However is this actually true because if it it is what is the point of the biopsy? Thanks for...

Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.

Can't tell much from the raw score you gave because different labs use different reference ranges. Second, there are some non celiac medical conditions, some medications and even some non-gluten food proteins that can cause elevated celiac blood antibodies in some individuals. The most likely explanation is celiac disease but it is not quite a slam dunk. The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac disease diagnosis and serves as confirmation of elevated blood antibody levels from the blood testing.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.
