GOOD TO KNOW
1There are many different brands of gluten-free baking mixes available on the market, and they don’t all work the same way. I prefer to use mixes that don’t contain psyllium husk; I add this ingredient separately if I feel it is needed. Try different mixes until you find one you like, or try my homemade version:
Smilla’s Gluten-free Flour Mix:
1⅓ cups (150 g) corn flour (finest grade)
1 cup (150 g) rice flour
1¼ cups (200 g) potato flour
Just a smidgen under 1 tbsp (6 g) guar gum
1 tsp baking powder
Mix everything thoroughly in a bowl and use whenever a recipe calls for gluten-free flour mix.
2Sifting is done by putting dry ingredients into a fine-mesh sieve and carefully shaking it over a bowl or a cake in order to remove any lumps or large particles.
3When I bake, I usually make a double batch of frosting and/or filling because I feel that many recipes are a bit stingy with them. With the recipes in this book, however, you won’t have to double them because I’ve already taken care of that for you! After all, the frosting and filling are the stars of the show, aren’t they?
4Remember that the liquid you use to make your dough needs to be lukewarm before you add yeast to it. If the liquid is too warm it will kill the yeast, and if it’s too cold the dough will not rise. It is therefore critical that your liquid be tepid so your sweet rolls don’t end up flat as pancakes!
5Work additional flour into the dough if it’s too loose or sticky.
Follow this advice cautiously, and only if your dough is so loose that it’s absolutely impossible to shape. Gluten-free dough is always stickier than dough containing gluten, and the more flour mix you add to the dough, the drier and tougher the baked goods will be.
6Keep in mind that all ovens have slight discrepancies in temperature and can therefore produce different-looking results. Baking times can also vary from oven to oven.
Special note about measurements: Cups have been added for ease of the user. Some of the measurements have been rounded off, but every effort has been made to keep the measurements as precise as possible. In some cases, such as when baking macarons, it’s better to weigh the ingredients for a more exact amount. If you do not have a scale at home, measure with care. However, using the measurements will still yield fun and delicious gluten-free treats.
Soft Baked Goods
I’ll start off this book with my best recipes for sweet and soft baked goods—the kinds of treats you bake in the afternoon, or in the middle of the night if you’re a night owl like me. My favorite recipe is for Love’s Yummy Nibbles—they’re absolutely heavenly!
Vanilla or Chocolate Muffins with Chocolate Fudge Filling
makes 24 large muffins
YOU’LL NEED:
3 large eggs
1¼ cups (240 g) granulated sugar
2 tbsp vanilla extract + 2 tbsp granulated sugar or 3 tbsp cocoa powder
1⅔ cups (240 g) gluten-free flour mix
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup (100 g) butter
3⅓ fl oz (100 ml) milk
Filling:
1 bag chocolate-covered Dumle toffee or Rolos*, or 4 oz (100 g) good-quality baking chocolate
Individual muffin baking cups/molds
HOW TO’S:
1. Preheat a convection oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
2. Place muffin cups onto a cookie sheet. Use sturdier muffin cups or double them up to prevent the batter from bubbling over during baking.
3. Beat the eggs and sugar with a handheld electric mixer until the batter is light and airy.
4. In a separate bowl and using a fork, combine the 2 tbsp vanilla extract and 2 tbsp sugar (for vanilla muffins) or cocoa powder (for chocolate muffins) with the gluten-free flour mix, baking powder,
