Subject: Peanut Butter Cookies
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 cup chunky or plain peanut butter
Gradually add sugar to beaten egg. Stir in peanut butter.
Chill dough for about 1 hour. Drop by teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie
sheet. Flatten with fork dipped in hot water and push into nice little
neat circles. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
For a variation, add a few GF chocolate chips.
I have doubled this recipe and cut back a little on the
sugar so they are not so sweet.

Subject: Chocolate Kisses
2 large egg whites 1/2 tsp. shortening
1 c. sugar 4 ounces semisweet chocolate
6 Tbs. cocoa, sifted
1-1/2 c. blanched almonds, about 6-1/4 ounces, ground med.fine
Preheat oven to 325 F. Beat egg whites at high speed in electric mixer until
stiff. Add the sugar slowly and continue beating until egg whites are very
thick, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Beat in cocoa until combined. Stir in almonds and mix until completely
blended. Should be quite thick and sticky.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dampen hands and shape about 1
heaping teaspoonful of dough into a 1 inch ball. Pinch the ball with your
fingers to form a teardrop shape and place on prepared baking sheet. Space
cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake until cookies are slightly cracked, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on sheet
for several minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Combine shortening and melted semisweet chocolate. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon
of chocolate onto the flat side of a cooled cookie and place another cookie
on top. Press together gently so chocolate oozes out slightly. Return
cookie to rack and let chocolate harden. Makes about 16 kisses.
I didn't dampen my hands and shape them. I dropped them from a teaspoon onto
the parchment. They flattened and made nice chewy cookies. But wouldn't the
kisses be nice for company? I can't wait to try them with pecans instead of
almonds.

Combine dry ingredients in small bowl. Cream sugars and shortening till
well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. Gradually add
flour mixture and combine. Stir in chips, nuts.
Drop by rounded tsp on an ungreased sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes at 375 and
cool on a wire rack. Can also be made into "pan" cookies by placing in an
8" square pan and baking 20 minutes.
These are a fairly soft cookie, and good enough to "pass".
* I like to use the very fine white rice flour that you find in
Asian groceries. They make a cookie with a better "mouth feel,"
far less sandy.
** We avoid casein, so I use a dairy free margarine. I suspect that real
butter would make a crunchier cookie.

Subject: Sugar Cookies & My Mom's Molasses Cookies
Here are two great recipes for cookies that my children love. They are
especially good for kids because you can roll out the dough and cut them
into shapes - gingerbread men or seasonal cookies (Christmas, Halloween,
Easter).
1 cup sugar
2/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup tapioca starch
2/3 cup potato starch
2 cup white rice flour
1/4 tsp xanthum gum (optional)
Cream sugar and shortening. Beat in eggs, add milk and mix well. Add
dry ingredients all at once. You want the dough to be stiff enough
to roll out but not too crumbly so add the white rice flour a little at
a time. You may not need the entire 2 cups. You will learn how stiff
to make these cookies after you've made them a couple of times. If you
don't have the xanthum gum, which makes gf baked goods less crumbly, add
a package of plain gelatin. It will achieve the same purpose.
Roll the cookies out on a rice floured surface and cut into desired
shapes. My boys like me to add a little homemade peach or strawberry
jam in the middle of the cookies. Bake at 375 degrees until edges begin
to become golden.
My Mom's Molasses Cookies
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup molasses
3 level tsps baking soda in molasses and beat until foamy
2 eggs
2 Tblsps warm water
1/3 cup tapioca starch
2/3 cup potato starch
2 cups white rice flour
2 tsps ginger
2 tsps cream of tartar
1/4 tsp xanthum gum or 1 package plain gelatin (optional)
salt
Cream shortening and sugar and beat in eggs. Add molasses/baking soda
mixture and warm water. Mix well. Add dry ingredients altogether and
mix well. Let stand overnight in a cool spot. Roll out on a
rice-floured surface and cut into desired shapes.
I find that a combination of starches and flours works best and I often
experiment with combinations. You might wish to try soy flour in the
molasses cookies, or brown rice flour. Also, my boys really like to have
these cookies 'decorated' so I often sprinkle them with cinnamon/sugar or
gf 'sprinkles'. Hope you enjoy these as much as we do. Incidently,
these recipes are traditional in Maritime Canada.

Subject: Rolled Sugar Cookies, with FruitFilling and Glaze
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla (or other flavoring)
3 cups sweet rice flour
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter
Beat the eggs at high speed. Add sugar and vanilla and beat well.
In a separate bowl, combine the three dry ingredients. Cut
the butter into the rice flour mixture with a pastry cutter
or two table knives until mixture is crumbly. Add egg
mixture. Mix until dough holds together. Cover and chill
for 20 minutes.
Divide dough into fourths. Roll out on lightly sweet-rice-floured
surface to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. Place 2"
apart on greased cookie sheet. Make a depression in the center and fill
with fruit filling and bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes, or until golden
brown. Cool on racks.
Notes and Cautions: Sometimes the dough is a little dry when you start
to roll it. If it seems to crumbly, add a little milk or cream, but
just a little.

Subject: Christmas Cresents
1 cup butter or margarine
5 T sugar
2 tsp GF vanilla
1 T water
2 cups Betty Hagman's GF flour mixture
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup finely ground pecans
1 tsp xanthan gum
It's important that the pecans be finely ground, not just chopped in a
nut grinder. I use a mouli grater for this. I don't own a food processor,
so I don't know that that would work.
Cream butter or margarine, sugar, vanilla, and water. Sift flour, salt
and xantham gum. Add flour mixture and ground pecans to the creamed
mixture. Shape into cresents or small balls. Bake 20 minutes at 325 F on
ungreased cookie sheets. When they are cooled slightly, they can be
rolled in confectionary's sugar or left plain. Makes about 50 cookies.

Subject: Peanut Butter Balls
This one is fun to make with kids. Even the littlest toddler can help.
Those who are good with playclays will love making these.
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey*
1/3 cup powdered milk
1/2 cup Cocoa Pebbles
In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter with syrup or honey. (This is fun.
First it looks like it's going to turn out really soupy, but as you keep
stirring, it thickens and dries out a bit.)
Next put in the powdered milk, and stir it in. If it seems a bit crumbly,
use clean hands to mush the whole thing together. If the texture isn't
friendly, feel free to add a little more of this or that (this recipe does
not need precision to work).
Put the Cocoa Pebbles in a fair sized ziplock bag and roll over it again
and again with a rolling pin till the cereal becomes a fine powder.
Roll the peanut butter mixture up into bite-sized balls and drop them one
at a time into the bag. (The littlest kid in the group can periodically
shake the closed bag.) You can store them in the bag or remove them to a
covered container for a snack on the go. If you live in an area hot as
Midland Texas, refrigerate them between servings. Otherwise, they keep
well enough at room temperature.
* do not use honey with tots before their first birthday

Subject: Gluten-Free Brownies
1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick) 1/4 tsp. salt
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate 2 cups sugar
4 eggs at room temperature 1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup GF flour (Bette Hagman's mix) 1 tsp. xanthan gum
optional:
1 tsp. methyl cellulose or clear gel
1 cup chopped nuts
1/2 cup sour cream
Melt the butter and chocolate over hot water; stir. Cool this
mixture. The cooling is the trick for perfect consistency!!!! If
you don't, your brownies will be heavy and dry. Beat the eggs and
salt until foamy and light in color. Gradually add the sugar &
vanilla; continue beating until well creamed.
With a few swift strokes, combine the cooled chocolate mixture and
the eggs and sugar. Before the mixture becomes uniformly colored,
fold in (again by hand) the mixed flour, xanthan gum, and optional
methyl cellulose or clear gel. Again, before the flour is completely
mixed in, fold in the nuts.
Bake in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan at 350 degrees F for about 25
minutes. Do not overbake. Cool, then cut into squares or bars. The
top and bottom will be slightly crisp and the interior soft, as
brownies should be. Store in air-tight containers or on paper plates
in Ziploc bags. These freeze very well (if you or your family can
leave them alone). This recipe came from Toni Richardson.

Subject: Almond Cake
This is a recipe for a wonderful Italian Almond Cake that I baked for a
couple of years for a trendy Los Angeles coffee house.
2-1/2 cups whole blanched almonds (or 13 oz. almond meal)
1-1/2 cups sugar
7 eggs
pinch salt
grated rind of one lemon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
confectioners' sugar to dust cake
1. If using whole almonds, grind into a fine paste in a food processor.
2. Add sugar and process to blend.
3. Place 3 whole eggs and 4 egg yolks in a large bowl, reserving whites.
Beat with an electric mixer while slowly adding the almond paste. Mix until
fluffy.
4. Add salt, lemon rind and vanilla.
5. Whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into the mixture.
6. Butter a 9 or 10 inch springform pan, and line with well-buttered
parchmont (or wax) paper. Pour the batter into the pan.
7. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out
dry when inserted in the center of the cake.
8. Cool. Turn the cake out of pan upside down into a serving dish, and
carefully remove parchmont. Dust with the confectioners' sugar.

1-1/2 C sugar
1/3 Cup cold water
2 egg whites
2 tsp light corn syrup OR 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla
In the top of a double boiler, combine the sugar, water, egg whites, corn
syrup or cream of tartar and the salt. Beat with an electric mixer set at
low speed for 30 seconds, then set the pan over boiling water (the pan
bottom shouldn't touch the water). Beating at high speed, cook the
frosting for about seven minutes, or until it's stiff and glossy. Remove
from the heat, add the vanilla and beat two more minutes.

Subject: Ice Cream Bars/Choc Biscuit
Chocolate Biscuits
These are British-style cookies, and are suitable for use in making
homemade ice cream sandwiches.
3 ounces pure unsweetened baking chocolate
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon dark corn syrup
1 Tablespoons water
1-1/2 cups GF flour mix
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup shortening
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup water or more
decorative sugar (optional)
In a saucepan over low heat (or in the microwave), melt chocolate and sugar
with corn syrup and water. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, corn starch, xanthan gum and salt, then
cut in shortening as for pastry, mixing until you have the consistency of
cracker crumbs. Add egg yolk. Mix in chocolate.
Slowly add 1/4 cup water, allowing mixture to absorb and mix in after each
addition. Keep adding water by the Tablespoon until the dough forms a ball,
then add a tiny bit more. The consistency should be a little softer than
(wheat) pasta or pie crust dough; not sticky at all. Refrigerate at least
one hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Divide the dough into two equal portions for rolling. On a GF-floured
surface or pastry cloth, roll out to a circle just less than 1/4" thick.
If desired, sprinkle top lightly and evenly with sugar and roll over it
lightly with the rolling pin.
Using the bottom of a glass or jar, or circular cookie or biscuit cutters,
cut out circles and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Prick all
over with a fork. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove to a rack and cool.
TO MAKE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES:
Find some gluten-free ice cream or make your own. (You don't have to have
an ice cream maker to make your own ice cream -- though it helps! Look for
instructions in any thorough cookbook or ice cream specialty cookbook.)
If you can hard-freeze your ice cream, that's the best method. If your
freezer doesn't freeze ice cream that stiff, you'll have to put a scoop
of ice cream on the flat side of one biscuit and spread it around before
topping it with (flat side down) the other.
If your freezer does hard freeze ice cream, you can use the same cookie
cutter that cut your biscuit dough to cut the ice cream (choose a cookie
cutter that's fairly sharp). Have everything ready before you start
because you'll want to work quickly! I use: a dinner plate for a cutting
surface; a sharp knife; cellophane to wrap the sandwiches individually; a
stack of cookies; the cookie cutter; and a freezer nearby!
Remove the ice cream from its container by briefly immersing it (not quite
up to the rim and certainly not over the rim!) in hot water. Turn it over
onto the plate and shake the ice cream loose. Slice off one slab of ice
cream at a time (about 3/4" thickness is my preferred size, but you can do
what looks right to you). If your ice cream container is round, the first
slice should just go back in the container. Lay the slab down and use the
cookie cutter to cut as many circles as you can from it.
Put the cut ice cream between cookies, wrap in cellophane, and set them
in the freezer as you work. Return scraps of ice cream to the container.
Once you've cut as many as you need, you can gather the ones in the freezer
into one container (ziplock bags work fine for me) and repack the remaining
ice cream and put it back in the freezer. Enjoy!

Subject: Ice Cream Cones (makes 6-8 cones)
heavy duty foil
1 large egg
1/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp. oil
dash of salt
1/4 cup water
1 tsp. GF vanilla
1/4 cup corn starch
To Make Cone Forms:
Cut foil into 9"x9" squares. Fold diagonally to make double triangles.
Smooth. Using the center of each triangle's folded edge as the point
of the cone, start to roll the foil into cone-shaped forms.
To Make Batter:
Beat eggs slightly. Continue beating and add sugar, oil, and salt,
until batter is thick and light colored. Set aside.
Combine water, vanilla, and corn starch until smooth. Stir this into
the egg mixture.
Have a large, flat surface covered with wax paper ready. Lightly
grease a griddle, large skillet, or electric fry pan. Heat until a
drop of water will bounce around when dropped on the pan. Spoon the
batter onto the pan. Tilt the pan back and forth to make a very thin
pancake about 4" in diameter. Cook at low heat until it is firm
enough to dislodge in one piece. Turn over. It is not necessary to
brown the pancake as long as it is cooked until firm.
Using a fork to help handle the hot pancake, roll it onto the prepared
foil form until a cone is formed. Set it aside with the loose end
down on a wire rack. Do not remove the foil form. When all the
batter has been made into pancakes and cones, place it into an oven
at 250 degrees F to dry out and brown slightly. This will take 45-90
minutes.
When thoroughly crisped, remove from oven and store in an airtight
container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Getting the pancakes to dislodge in one piece is sometimes hard to do,
but by the time you are finished with the batter, you will have
mastered the technique. The broken pancakes can be dried out and
used as pieces in a bowl of ice cream. When rolling into forms make
sure the point is tightly wrapped or folded, so the ice cream doesn't
drip out.

Subject: Ice cream cones
This ice cream cone is close enough to the real thing that the nonceliacs
will never know the difference.
Ice Cream Cones
1/4 cup GF margarine
2 Ener-G Foods powdered egg whites*
1 egg, separated
1 cup sweet rice flour
3/4 cup GF confectioner's sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. GF vanilla
Melt the margarine and cool while assembling and mixing the ingredients.
Separate the egg white from the yolk and combine in a mixing bowl with 2
additional egg whites (Ener-G Foods dry egg whites and water). Beat egg
whites with salt until very stiff.
Combine and sift the flour, and sugar and gently fold egg whites into dry
ingredients.
Add vanilla and egg yolk to melted butter, stirring gently. Add to egg
white mixture stirring with a wire whisk until smooth and the consistency
of pancake batter. Spoon by teaspoonfuls onto one side of the Pizzelle
Maker.
Cook 75 seconds or until golden brown. Remove and immediately roll the hot
Pizzelle into a cone. Since time is critical do not add dough to the
machine; just close the lid. Roll the cone around a forming cone, cream
roll cone, or by hand. If your cone is not perfect, just serve in a small
paper cup to preclude a problem as the ice cream melts. Repeat with the
remaining dough.
Store in a plastic container for several months/weeks.
Variation:
For a sweeter cone, reverse the quantity of flour and
confectioner's sugar.
For a chocolate cone, add 1/4 cup cocoa to the dry mixture.
* Egg whites from two eggs can be used if powdered egg whites are not
available. If the powdered egg whites are not from Ener-G Foods, remember
to check the processing method and verify that they are GF.

Subject: Sugar:confectioner's/icing/powdered
I understand from reading the celiac archives that in Canada, confectioner's
sugar contains wheat starch (instead of corn starch). Sarah Rogers asked the
list:
>Speaking of confectioner's sugar, does anyone know how to make this out
>of grain sugar? I have lots of nifty high-tech cooking tools and wonder
>if any of them could grind sugar finely enough.
I was browsing in a (Canadian) book published in cooperation with the
Canadian Celiac Association and found a trick for making
icing/confectioner's/powdered sugar. It seems to require a food processor.
But first, credit where credit is due. The book is called (Full of Beans)
and is by Violet Currie & Kay Spicer. Publisher Mighton House; ISBN
0-9695688-1-9. I bought it when I purchased a bag of whole bean flour (from
romano beans), so the following bean flour distributors may be selling the
book: In the U.S., call 909-865-1877; in Ontario, Canada, call
1-800-387-5292 or 416-291-3226; also: mail order from 519-348-4141. Some of
the recipes employ pureed cooked beans for a moist addition to our gf
baking. And now, The Trick:
Gluten-free Icing Sugar
1 cup granulated sugar (250 ml.)
1/2 tsp cornstarch (2 ml.)
In food processor, combine sugar and cornstarch. Process, scraping down
sides of container frequently, for 5 to 10 minutes or until very, very
finely ground and powdery.
Store in airtight container at room temperature. (Makes 1 cup.)
The book also contains recipes for gf baking powder and gf pasta. I'm
heading straight for the cookie recipes. Is there anything suspect I should
know about molasses?
Happy baking!

Subject: Lemon Chiffon Pie
I adapted the recipe I found on an old box of Shirriff Lemon Pie Filling and
got good results. The only thing I found was that the crust probably could
have used more butter or adhesive, it could be that I didn't let it cool
long enough, it looked to good. The next day the crust was much firmer.
2 cups GF Corn flakes crushed (I used Natures Path - Honey'd Cornflakes**)
(makes approximately 1 cup crushed, could use more for a thicker crust)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup melted butter/margarine
Shirrif Lemon Pie filling
1/3 cup cold water
2 eggs yolks (save the whites)
2 cups boiling water
1 tbsp butter
2 egg whites
2 tbsp sugar
1. Combine the crushed cereal with pecans, and 2 tbsp sugar. Stir in
melted butter. Set aside 2 tbsp for garnishing finished pie and press
remaining mixture evenly around side and base of a 9" pie plate.
2. Bake at 400F (200C) for 5-6 minutes. Chill.
3. Prepare pie filling according to package. Let cool 10 minutes stirring
occasionally.
4. Meanwhile beat egg whites until soft peaks form, beat in 2 tbsp sugar
until stiff peaks form. Gently fold eggs into pie filling.
5. Spoon into pie shell and garnish with reserved crumbs. Chill 2-3 hrs
before serving.
ps. I've also just made plain lemon meringue pie with this crust and it
tastes wonderful. I have never been a pie pastry person and even without
being celiac I wish I had known about this crust years ago.
The kids thought the lemon was a bit tart for them so next time I think I
will try a banana cream pie with this crust.

Basic Fudge Brownies
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp (= 5 oz) margarine, melted
3/4 cup cocoa (Dutch Process gives deeper flavor)
2 cups sugar (or 1 + 1/3 cup fructose)
2 eggs
1 tsp GF vanilla extract
1 cup brown or white rice flour
1/4 cup soy flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 9x13 pan with pan spray.
Mix ingredients in order given, stirring well after each to
incorporate. Spread to edges of pan. Bake about 30 minutes,
or just until the center no longer looks wet. Let cool for
ten minutes before slicing into pieces.
These can be iced or eaten plain. They also freeze well (I
like them best straight out of the freezer!)
---------------------------------------
Low-Fat Cherry Brownies (makes 9x13 pan
1 can sweet cherries packed in juice
1/3 cup Wonderslim
2 egg whites
2 tsp GF vanilla extract
1/2 tsp GF almond extract
1 cup Droste cocoa (or other Dutch Process)
2 c sugar or 1+1/3 cup fructose
1 + 1/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup soy flour
1/2 tsp salt
Drain the cherries, reserving the juice. Chop them in halves, and
spread on a double layer of paper towels to drain further.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray pan heavily with pan spray,
then line with a piece of parchment paper, pleating the corners and
creasing the folds so it lines the pan smoothly. Spray paper lightly.
Combine 1/2 cup juice from cherries with 2nd group of ingredients,
whisking together to blend. Sift dry ingredients together. Pour
wet into dry and mix well with spoon or mixer til blended; you may
need another 1/4 cup of cherry juice or water - batter should be
pourable.
Pour and spread into pan and bake for 30 minutes, or just until
center stops looking wet and toothpick comes out clean. Cool on
rack 10 minutes before icing.
These are wonderful with a buttermilk chocolate frosting! They
also freeze well, and are best stored (and eaten?) frozen.

Almond Coffee Cake (makes 9x13 pan
This can be eaten hot out of the oven; it makes a wonderful brunch
buffet dish, especially when houseguests have brought a bag of
evil, tempting, Danish pastries! Individual pieces can be reheated
briefly in the microwave, but don't repeatedly reheat the whole
dish - it will get hard and stale.
Topping:
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup brown or white rice flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 stick butter
1 cup sugar or 2/3 cup fructose
3 eggs
2 tsp GF almond extract
1 cup vanilla nonfat yogurt (small container)
(or plain nonfat yoghurt + 1/2 tsp GF vanilla extract)
1+1/2 cup GF flour mix (BH, or Andrea's Brown GF Mix)
1/2 cup soy flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (325 if using a glass baking dish).
Spray 9x13 pan with pan spray.
Mix topping ingredients together lightly until blended; set aside.
Sift dry ingredients together; set aside.
Cream butter and sugar together thoroughly; beat on high for 2-3
minutes until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating on high until
each is thoroughly incorporated.
Stir extract(s) into yogurt until well blended. Add yogurt
and dry mixture alternately to creamed mixture in thirds, mixing
well after each addition.
Spread batter in pan. Sprinkle evenly with topping, but don't press
it into the batter. Bake about 30 minutes, until toothpick comes out
clean.

Andrea's Pear Crisp (makes one 9x13 pan or large flat casserole dish
This has become something of a "signature dish" - I often take it to
potlucks and other parties, where nonceliacs like it, too. The recipe
that I started modifiying years ago originally called for rolled oats.
I have used rolled oats and rolled rye flakes, as well as a number of
different GF cereals. Rolled uncooked rice flakes were too bland.
The key to the success of this recipe is to have pears so ripe that
you almost swoon from their fragrance. Bartlett, D'Anjou, and Bosc
all work very well; if using smaller pears such as Seckel, double the
number. Hint: to ripen pears without losing most of them to rot or
mold, be sure that none of the fruits is touching another while they
sit out on your kitchen counter.
6-9 large, very ripe pears
1/2 cup frozen OJ or pineapple juice concentrate
1 tsp GF vanilla extract
1 Tbsp Meyer's Dark (Plantation Punch) Rum
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup Yellow-D or other brown sugar, loosely packed
1.5 cups Cornflakes or other crunchy GF cereal
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1.5 tsp ground allspice
0.5 tsp ground cloves
6 Tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Pan spray or lightly grease a 9x13"
baking dish or large, flat casserole.
Core and cut up the pears into the baking dish (leave skins on, except
where bruised). In a glass measuring cup, microwave the frozen juice
concentrate for one minute. Stir in the vanilla and rum, then pour over
pears and mix GENTLY to coat.
Using the same measuring cup, microwave the butter 30-40 seconds until
melted. Stir everything else together in a bowl (or toss lightly with
dry hands to keep from crushing the cereal). Dribble the butter over,
and mix gently until it looks uniformly moist. Spoon evenly over the
pears, but don't pack it down.
Bake 35 minutes, or until it's nice and bubbly and the top is just
starting to brown. Serve hot or cold (it reheats well in the
microwave). A scoop of vanilla (frozen dessert of your choice) on
top is heavenly!

********************************************************************
This cake won first prize at the 1995 Nevada County (CA) Fair, in the
Very Low Fat Baked Goods division, Cakes: Heavy Textured class.
It is one of those "are you SURE there isn't wheat in this?" recipes,
and one of my husband's favorites (after apple pie and pear crisp, that
is!).
I derived the recipe from one in the May/June 1994 "Eating Well" magazine,
which is where the trick with the pear butter comes from. The pear
butter does not assert its flavor like applesauce, pureed plums, or
other fat substitutes do. The technique of making beurre noisette
(browned butter) allows a small amount of butter to contribute large
amounts of flavor.
Ingredients:
2 16-oz cans pear halves (in juice or light syrup), drained
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp vegetable or nut oil (I like almond for this)
2.5 cups GF Gourmet flour mix (white or brown)
1 c soy flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
.5 tsp baking soda
1.75 cups sugar or 1.25 cups fructose, divided use
1 cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp GF vanilla extract
grated zest of one lemon
1 tsp GF almond extract
2 large eggs, separated
2 large egg whites
1. Prep (can be done beforehand): Puree pears in food processor or
blender. Transfer to medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring
almost constantly, until reduced to about one cup (anywhere from 10 to 40
minutes). Allow to cool completely. If making ahead, store covered in
fridge.
Melt butter over medium heat, in small saucepan or skillet where you
will be able to see the color change. Cook, swirling pan, until the
butter turns a light, nutty brown, about 60 seconds. (Once you've done
this, you can also tell by smell when it first "turns". Pour into a
teacup where you have measured the vegetable oil, stir and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil or spray with pan spray
a 10" tube pan or large bundt pan. Dust with rice flour or GF flour mix,
and shake out excess. (I have a heavy, non-stick bundt pan that works
great with this recipe, but I still spray and dust to make sure the
cake slides out whole.)
3. Sift flours, salt, and leavenings together into medium bowl; set aside.
In a large bowl, mix pear puree, butter-oil mixture, 1.5 cups of sugar
(=1 cup fructose), buttermilk, extracts, lemon zest, and egg yolks;
whisk until smooth.
4. In clean mixing bowl and with clean beaters, beat the 4 egg whites
until soft peaks form. While continuing to beat on high, slowly add
the remaining .25 cup sugar or fructose and beat until stiff, but not
dry peaks form.
5. With a rubber spatula, gently fold the dry ingredients into the
pear puree mixture alternately with the beaten whites, making three
additions of the dry and two of the whites. Turn batter into pan,
and bake 40-45 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Let
cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool. (Hint:
if you can't resist and attack this cake while still warm, it will
not have the dense texture of a real pound cake!)
This cake is fine as-is, or can be dressed up with a sprinkling of
confectioner's sugar, melted lemon marmalade brushed on the top,
or a light lemony icing. But my all-time favorite is to use the
slices for strawberry shortcake!
Substitution note: I have not tried replacing the buttermilk in this
recipe, but if you do, be sure to add something acidic like a Tbsp
of lemon juice or rice vinegar so the reaction with the baking soda
will work.

One based on a non-gluten grain is available from Dietary Specialties at

which has corn starch in the US, but has wheat starch in Canada.
From: Teresa (tamale@primenet.com) Newsgroups: rec.food.cooking
Does anybody remember "potato candy"? My great grandmother used to make
it a couple of times a year and I would love to know the origin...it would
seem to be a frugal version of fondant which it surprising resembled altho
it was some years ago and I was a child. She was from Kansas originally.
The candy was made from a baked russet potato, skinned and riced.
Confectioners (powdered sugar) was added and liquid to make it a
fondant-like texture. A couple of drops of food coloring could make it
pink or any pastel....then a walnut, date or other decorative top was
added.
I'm curious as I've never met anyone who remembers these.

From: ariadne@mindlink.bc.ca (Nicole A. Okun)
There is a recipe in a little book I have called "La cuisine de la
Petite-Nation" which is from Quebec. It is for potato Easter eggs. A
portion of the potato mixture is coloured yellow for the yolks, and the
finished "eggs" are coated with semi-sweet chocolate. The recipe:
Oeufs de Paques Maheux
(de Madeleine Carriere)
1-1/2 cups mashed potatoes, cooled
1/2 cup butter
vanilla extract
3 cups icing sugar
yellow food colouring
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
Blend the potato and butter together. Stir in the vanilla extract, plus
enough icing sugar to obtain a shape-able "dough". Colour 1/4 of the
mixture with enough food colouring to make it resemble egg yolks, and shape
it into small balls. Using the white mixture, shape the rest of the "egg"
around the "yolks".
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and coat each egg with chocolate.
Refrigerate the eggs before serving.
I haven't tried this recipe myself, so can't vouch for it.

Yeah, we know of it...my mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law make it at
Christmas, as it is a tradition in my husband's family...they just can't
have Christmas without potato candy. And since we live between mom and
grandma (a big between...mom in Phoenix, us in Albuquerque, grandma in
Vilonia, AR.) we get a batch dropped off both coming and going in
December.
I can't make it yet, and they use peanut butter rolled up in the middle.
I don't work so well with peanut butter, except in PB, mayo and pickle
sandwiches.

Subject: Rolled Sugar Cookies
For those of you looking for a WONDERFUL cut out sugar cookie recipe,
here it is. Believe me, when I say they are better than the so
called "real ones".
1 1/2 C. white rice flour
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. Xanthan Gum
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 C. butter or margarine (cold)
1/2 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. GF vanilla, lemon, or almond flavoring
1 egg (cold)
Combine rice flour, cream of tartar, soda, and Xanthan Gum, and salt.
Mix well. Put n Kitchen Aid mixer on #1 speed for 4 minutes to blend.
Cut in butter until mixture is in crumbs the size of peas. In small
bowl beat sugar, egg, and vanilla (or other flavoring of your choice)
together. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until
dough pulls away from the sides. Form into a flat ball shape and
refrigerate 1 hour.
Using freezer paper, dust with rice flour. Put dough on freezer
paper and sprinkle with rice flour. Roll dough 1/4" thick and cut out
shapes as desired.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. Cool on wire rack.
This recipe can be doubled.
Please follow ALL of the above directions to the tee. If you
substitute for example, wax paper instead of freezer paper, you will
have problems! I always make a double batch. A double batch can
make approximately 40 cookies, depending on the size of your cookie
cutters. I used slightly larger ones.

4-1/2 gal. of pure spring water
5 sticks of canela
8 piloncillo cones
1 orange peel
1 lemon peel
Roast corn in a moderately heated oven until the corn is a light brown
color. Grind the corn (coarse) and place in a large heavy crock. Add all
the water, citrus peel, canela, and piloncillo. Cover and let the
mixture ferment. Fermentation will take about 8 to 9 days during
cool weather or 4 to 5 days in warm weather.
Strain through a cheesecloth, call your closest friends, and drink
right away.
----
note: "The old Apache recipe calls for soaking corn and sprouting it
until the seedlings are 1/2 inch long, grinding the sprouts, and boiling
them. The resulting mash was then sweetened with mesquite flour or saguaro
syrup and allowed to ferment in a brewing jar that was never washed so as
to retain the organisms for fermentation. The finished product had to be
drunk within a few hours after it was prepared or the alcohol became acetic
acid, giving the beverage a sour taste."

quickly when cooking)

CORNBREAD
2 c. dry mix
1 egg (or two egg whites slightly beaten)
1 T. oil
1 c. water (can use slightly less if you like)
Bake at 425 degrees F in an 8x8x2 oiled pan for 20-25min.
I have sucessfully used this recipe in larger pans and baked it for less
time. Cornbread is done when it pulls away from the side of the pan. Don't
let it get too brown.
PANCAKES
1c. dry mix
1 egg (or 2 egg whites slightly beaten)
1 T. oil
3/4 c. water
Mix ingredients well and cook on a oiled skillet. If you make this in
advance, the cornmeal absorbs the water and you will need to add more water.
The benefit of this is that the pancakes have a smoother texture. Ryan
complains if the batter has not sat for awhile. He claims that it makes a
huge difference.
Also, I always use the egg whites because Ryan would be eating too many whole
eggs in his diet if I didn't. (Heart disease runs in our family.) Enjoy.

Subject: Variation on BH's GF mix
It bothered me that there was so little insoluble fiber in BH's recipes.
Now I mix up my GF mix using brown rice flour, and adding rice bran
as well. The proportions I use are 6-2-1-1 (where my "part" is
usually a half-cup measure, since that fits nicely inside the big
glass "canning jars" I use as cannisters). I found that a 2-lb
bag of brown rice flour is usually about 6 cups, and using that as
a basis for the mix gives me enough to fill a cannister used for
5 lbs of wheat flour (ours is lighter and fluffier).
This mix can be used for anything the original GF mix can be used
for - and I've even used it for making angelfood cake!

Subject: Egg Substitute
My wife has used the following recipe from "The Allergy Self-Help
Cookbook" (Rodale Press 1984) by Marjorie Hurt Jones page 189 in baked
goods with good success.
Makes about 1/4 cup. This mixture will bind patties, meat loaves, cookies
and cakes as well as eggs do. But it will not leaven like eggs for
souffles or sponge cakes. This recipe makes enough to substitute for ONE
EGG (my emphasis); you can easily double or triple it.
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon whole flaxseed
Place the water and flaxseed in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat so mixture bubbles slowly. Cook for 5 minutes, or until
mixture is the consistency of a raw egg white. Do not use too high a
heat or mixture will become thick and gummy.
Note: Don't bother straining out the flaxseeds. They don't have much
flavor and won't detract from whatever you're making.
