Roben Ryberg's Biscuits

Roben Ryberg's Biscuits (Gluten-Free) This recipe is a sampling from a new cookbook tentatively titled The Gluten-Free Baker by Roben Ryberg, scheduled for publication in the spring of 1999. Roben Ryberg: This dough is great fun to work with. My kids like to play with the scraps. This dough is quite soft, and so are the biscuits. Ingredients: 1/3 cup shortening ½ cup potato starch ¾ cup cornstarch 1 ¾ teaspoon xanthan gum 1 tablespoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon sugar ¾ cup milk ½ teaspoon salt Directions: Preheat oven to 375 . In medium bowl, blend all ingredients. Mix very well to remove any lumps. Dough will be quite soft and a bit sticky. Roll or pat our dough on a lightly floured (cornstarch) surface. Dough should be about ½ inch thick. Cut out biscuits with 2 ½ inch cookie cutters. An inverted glass will also do the job. Place biscuits on lightly-greased baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly browned. Makes 6-8 large biscuits. Email me and t

Ingredients Pierre Hermé’³ Cream Puff Dough with Gluten-free variation and modified instructions (makes 20-24 É£lairs) 1/2 cup (125g) whole milk 1/2 cup (125g) water 1 stick (4 ounces; 115g) unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt *1 cup (140g) Rebecca Reilly GF flour mix 5 large eggs, at room temperature 1 tsp. vanilla Chocolate glaze (see separate recipe) Vanilla and/ or Espresso pastry cream (see separate recipe) *Rebecca Reilly’s GF flour mix uses 2 cups brown rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch, and 1/3 cup tapioca starch mixed together. Although you only use one cup in this recipe, I keep it on hand- it’s great for many different things. Directions 1) In a heavy bottomed medium saucepan, bring the milk, water, butter, sugar and salt to the boil. 2) Once the mixture is at a rolling boil, add all of the flour at once, reduce the heat to medium and start to stir the mixture vigorously with a wooden spoon. The dough comes together very quickly. Do not worry
