lcbannon replied to Jenny (AZ via TX)'s topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I have a recipe very similar to the better batter flour. I use it cup for cup like reg flour- If anyone is interested I can post it. -
I had bought the Brown Grain and love it in Chocolate reciepes BUT I took the grains and whizzed them in my little coffee grinder to a fine flour, this way it is not gritty.

ARCHIVED gluten-free Baked Goods Small Business
lcbannon replied to susieg-1's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Each States rules are diff- here in Kansas you can have a bakery in your home. As far as the muffin recipe- wish I did have one but 15-20 years ago here in Ks breakfast muffins were just not that big a deal- Now chocolate we can talk-- cookies and cakes I have converted well. -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Baked Goods Small Business
lcbannon replied to susieg-1's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi- I once started and ran for 3 years a home bakery/catering business. A few tips. 1. It is hard work, return for your money esp on baked goods because of work involved is not high. Having said that it is very satisfying and you may very well get into catering etc. 2. Quality Ingredients in will equal Quality out, in other words, if you try to cut... -

ARCHIVED Home-made Gluten-free Flour - Help, Please
lcbannon replied to Jujbe's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I mix my own flour and am happy with this mix right now, this uses less Xanthan gum than some bit I find I don't like the elastic feel that too much adds. For baked goods with Chocolate I will usually use at least 1/4 cup of teff flour for part of the gluten-free flour. Some people do not use Xanthan or Guar at all. Individual choice. 1 Cup Sorguhm Flour... -

lcbannon replied to lovetocook's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I use Teff pretty much just in Chocolate type items, CC Cookies, Brownies etc. I don't think the flavor will go well with potatoes- IMHO -

lcbannon replied to imsohungry's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I'll play.. A long time ago when first married to first husband he wanted a homemade cherry pie. Well I got the recipe from his mom and she showed me how to make pie crusts. I must have concentrated hard on that. I made my pie and was so proud of myself- hubby takes a bite and makes a funny face and asks me if I had added extra sugar for some reason... -

ARCHIVED Looking For A Tnt Fudge Recipe
lcbannon replied to ebrbetty's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I used to cater and we ALWAYS use the Fantasy Fudge a couple of tips tho 1. MUST use C & H sugar - it disolves best 2. Beat the living daylights out of it.- I set bowl in sink to get better leverage. For peanut butter fudge, just use a bag of pb chips, yes it is smaller bag than choc but makes it a very creamy fudge. -

I am sooo glad to know I am not alone, I have tried making breads and also just did a Bob;s Mill mix, they just dont cut it for me. I go without most times too.

ARCHIVED Need Recipe For Carmel
lcbannon replied to gfgypsyqueen's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Easy way to make a soft caramel is to cut top off can of sweetend condensed milk, set it in a pan of water and bring it to a boil (the water) the milk will carmilize. Have forgotton how long to do it, but should be on net or you will be able to tell by looking. -
I made a meat mixture of browned hamburger, some shredded cabbage, grated carrot, a little garlic and some green onion and thickened it with some cornstarch, then rolled in the spring roll skins and deep fried, they were very good. I did learn the hard way you have to wet the wrapper and not to fill to full. you might google spring roll reciepes for filling...

I saw these in an Asian market the other day and wondered if anyone uses these and if so How?? This is not Mung flour (I asked) I have found that they are more Indian of nature but I know we all use a number of diff flours (I do anyway) Thanks

ARCHIVED Gluten Free 2 Months And Burned Out
lcbannon replied to bellabrit7's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
It will cycle until you figure out how bad you feel if you cheat, if its bad enough you will stop cheating. It is not an easy change to make. I have found that if I always make sure to have some desserts and breads gluten-free in the freezer then I usually will not feel deprived. Some people cant have salt, some alchol, some chocolate etc mine is gluten... -
Honestly did not think Military took Celiac because diet would be so hard to follow. Not any real advice, just wanted to say THANK YOU for what you are doing here in the states and going TDY... Good luck staying gluten-free overseas..
