Gluten Free

Gluten Free

Hi & Happy Weekend!  Hope everyone is having a good one. 
 I really wanted to try this gluten free mix, so this was my BIG WEEKEND PLAN, lol sad, huh?  But truthfully I have been so pressed for time making a pot of tea is a luxury. :0   So today was the day...and  my baking experiment today did not photograph well. 


No, Not at all. 

1st problem I was 1/2 asleep. Zzzzz 
We are blaming it on that, so work with me people.

Gluten Free Mix

I started to find we were out of butter..:( Well almost out..I was 1 tbs short so I added a dollop of oil and moved on. I really need to include I do not recommend baking this way. I always ALWAYS follow the recipe the 1st go round. After that I experiment like Dr. Frankenstein (not really, but you get the idea) but the 1st time follow the directions. So here I go veering off course form the get go. (WTF?!?! But I was still in pj's -  sans makeup & if I am cleaning up/dressing to go store I will just buy breakfast and be done with it, you know?)

Moving on..
The ingredients were mixed & I made do.
1 stick unsalted butter and milk were all that was added to the dry mix.
I only had Lite Vanilla Soy Milk (of course) So I am sure that also made a difference..


Also about 1/2 the bag was used to make biscuits so I was happy I didn't use it all the 1st time around.

Ready for the oven

After the butter is cut in the dough needs to be kneaded. (No rolling) I used the time-honored tradition of using a water glass as a biscuit cutter.

I always bake my “tails” too.  So that why it looks like that.


They smelled good baking (light whiff of vanilla perhaps?) and all, but not like bread.

Baked 20 min @ 350'

The biscuits do not rise; so make sure yours are thicker than cookies. 

Taste? Good, to not much taste. 


I gobbled down 3 and waited…no bloating. WWOWOWOW I then had a cup of hot tea (Look at me relaxing like its almost my day off) and still felt full, but not “about to bust” like I do when I eat 1 regular biscuit. 

People passing by kitchen sampled and agreed they were different, but tasted good. Everyone said, “MAKE MORE PLEASE!”


Next I will try the cake mix. :D
Do not let my ugly picture put you off from trying these. Its just hard for me to cook & take pictures while cleaning the kitchen at the same time. So the pictures were hurried, sorry.


Also note we  ate all I made without butter or jam. I'm sure they would be excellent with honey too. So they did taste better than they looked, lol

I know I will be buying more of the mix. 
Ok, I have a few errands and then off to work this afternoon. 
Take care & talk soon!
