    The better batter.com website is closed. Anyone know what happened?

    Thanks for the Pamela's substitute recipe. Sounds great except that we have to use a dairy substitute. This is probably cheaper since we buy most flours from an Asian/Oriental market. The fours are individually packaged - no bulk items! Sometimes I wonder if the manufacturers aren't taking advantage in charging such high prices for gluten free products...

    Have not been able to make a good white/yellow cake -- have great luck with chocolate. Tried the mayo cake at allrecipes.com and it turned out very dry. Looking for a tried and true recipe for my daughter's birthday -- something I can make dairy free with substitutions. Thanks! Jo Ann

    Yellow Rose is right. Cut wax paper or parchment to fit the bottom of the pan, and grease/spray the sides. I do this with cakes as well as breads. Also, banana bread should be mixed by hand; the electric mixer is too powerful. Hope this helps! Jo Ann

    Thanks, Julia! Sounds like a keeper. Jo Ann

    Julie, Would like to have your recipe for baked donuts; none that I have tried have been edible. We miss donuts, but would like to keep down the calories (ha!). Thanks! Jo Ann

    Sue(Pooh 4), I'd love to have your recipe for a good white or yellow cake. Have a good chocolate recipe, but have not had much luck with mixes or from scratch recipes for white or yellow cake. Our grandson has celiac disease and loves the chocolate cake. Our daughter eats gluten-free (she doesn't test positive, but she feels much better on the diet...

    Heard so much about Annalise Roberts' gluten-free Cookbook, that I've decided to buy one since it's not in any of our libraries. However, I know she uses superfine brown rice flour from Authentic Foods. Cannot get this in any stores in our area, and ordering on line costs more for s/h than the product. Does anyone know a better way to get this flour? ...

    I put the loaf of bread in the cool oven and turn on the light. This seems to make it just warm enough that the bread rises beautifully. Another suggestion is when you're doing the washing, put the pan of bread on the dryer on top of a cooling rack. This works well, too. Jo Ann

    Haven't tried the Blondies by Namaste, but we love their chocolate cake mix. Based on this I just made their vanilla cake, and we thought it was awful! If you don't like the Blondies cookies, I have a great blonde brownie recipe with dates & nuts that everyone likes (celiac disease or not). Jo Ann

    The recipe on Pamela's Baking Mix for chocolate chip cookies is very good, especially if you add nuts. The whole family likes them and can't tell the difference. I make a double batch since gluten-free baked goods don't keep very well. I bake half and make the remainder into cookie balls on a small cookie sheet and freeze. When frozen, I put them in a...

    Namaste makes an excellent chocolate cake mix; however, we did not like their vanilla cake. Also, look at "Calling all serious bakers" in this section for a chocolate cake recipe made from scratch that I posted a few days ago. It makes an excellent cake that even non-Celiacs in the family love to eat. Don't be discouraged. We all experience trial and...

    mamaw, If your question about Hagman's flour mix was relative to my chocolate cake recipe, I keep a batch on hand made of 2 parts white rice flour, 2/3 potato starch and 1/3 tapioca starch (all purchased at an oriental market - their flour is very finely ground). I imagine any good gluten-free flour mix will probably work. I understand Authentic Foods...

    The following is the chocolate cake I make for our grandson, but everyone eats and likes it as well as any chocolate cake. I've also tried Namaste Chocolate Cake mix, and it is very good but has gotten pretty expensive at our stores. 2 cups gluten-free flour mix (I use Hagman's) 2 cups sugar 1 cup cocoa 1 tsp. xanthan gum 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp...

    Namaste makes the best chocolate cake; however, the following is a good cake when you have the time to make it. CHOCOLATE CAKE 2 c. gluten-free flour mix (Hagman's is good) 2 c. granulated sugar 1 c. cocoa ...

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. With electric mixer, beat egg whites until frothy. Add salt and beat until...

    Have been using Gluten-Free Pantry French Bread Mix with good results, but have never heard of Lorka's bread. Can someone tell me what that is? Is it a recipe or a mix? I'm always looking for something closer to the real thing. Thanks!

    Have you tried meringue cookies? They are easy, use few ingredients, and you can add chocolate chips, nuts, M&M's, etc. for variety.

    We've had good results with Gluten Free Pantry French Bread & Pizza Mix. One half a bag makes 1 large pizza or I have made individual pizzas with aluminum pie pans. Put corn meal on the bottom of the pan, roll out the dough between 2 sheets of well oiled plastic wrap (or pat out with oiled fingers). Spread with favorite pizza sauce, top with favorite...

    My 14 yo grandson likes gluten-free Pantry French Bread & Pizza mix the best so far. He likes white bread without any flecks or strong flavor . . . Would like to ask lorka150 about the bread recipes she shared. Can anything be substituted for the flax or flax flour? Thanks! Jo Ann

    This is the best sugar cookie I've found, and it's easy to work with. It's a variation of the Crisco recipe I used in the past. Ultimate Sugar Cookie 1 1/4 cups sugar 1 cup (1 stick) Butter Flavor Crisco 2 eggs 1/4 cup light corn syrup or pancake syrup 1 Tbls. vanilla 2 cups Bette Hagman gluten-free flour mix 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 tsp. baking...

    Mopsie, don't throw out your bread failures. I save (freeze to get a large amount), dry out (low heat in oven), and make bread crumbs in food processor. These crumbs are great for meatloaf, meatballs, casserole topping, etc. This way I don't feel like it's all been a waste.
