The holidays can be tough if you have food restrictions. But with the right recipes and tips you can make food that is as good or better than what you ate before. Here are my tips for making the best gluten free desserts.
Gluten Free & Dairy Free
If you want to use a gluten recipe that calls for less than 1/4 cup of flour, you can usually replace it with any cup for cup or 1-to-1 flour and it will turn out just fine. If it calls for more than that, use a recipe developed to be gluten free.

TIP #2
Gluten free flour needs more time to absorb moisture, so let your batter rest for 10-15 minutes before baking to avoid gritty texture.

TIP #3
You can replace small amounts of flour with cornstarch or tapioca starch. Starch is twice as powerful at thickening as flour, so use half as much. This is great for fruit pies and crumbles!

It's the best kind of mashup - pecan pie and chocolate chip cookies mixed together! Plus a splash of bourbon. ;)

I strive to make gluten free dishes that are not just good enough, but better than their gluten counterparts. Living without gluten doesn't need to mean living without yum.
