Christmas Eve Baking

Well to complete our micro-Christmas at No3 we will need a selection of gluten free treats, especially as I have convinced Mum to try the old GF diet for a few months.

Off to work... Its a packet mix of pastry but it still involved a bit of work.

Pastry in the fridge resting. Move onto GF shortbread experiment. (A) normal recipe with GF flour, (B) as above but with magic psyllium husk addition

Trying to be arty farty

(A) and (B)

Back to the pastry now for mince pies...

With the end products

(A)

(B)

They really look the same colour just my lighting in the kitchen was different... just in case you are wondering the psyllium husk is a big bonus to the final product... much less crumbly and falling apart.

You can barely tell the difference (after smothering them with thick brandy cream)
