orange-hazelnut gluten free scones

Posted on June 13, 2015 by gfandme

Looking for something a little different for breakfast? Try these gluten free scones made with hazelnut flour and orange zest. The flavour profile is out of this world – especially once you add the Nutella glaze. (The glaze recipe is included below – as well as one for a simple orange glaze for those of you who don’t like chocolate. Ha! Who am I kidding!?) These little beauties are surprisingly crispy on the outside and creamy in the centre. If your eyes were closed, you’d swear you were eating a chocolate glazed donut!

gluten free cream cheese tarts

Posted on May 6, 2015 by gfandme

These gluten free tarts would be the perfect treat for a gluten free Mother’s Day! The pastry is based on our conversion of my grandmother’s recipe for Danish pastries. Flaky and versatile, the dough can be used for everything from tarts and galettes to turnovers and danishes. Give it a try… Here it is shaped into tart shells and filled with layers of cream cheese and apple pie filling, but these little tarts would be fantastic filled with cherry, blueberry, or lemon – whatever you can imagine. And these are even better the second day.

gluten free cream cheese pastries

Posted on March 18, 2015 by gfandme

This recipe came about through desperation. Geoff and I were recently on a vacation to one of those holiday destinations where bakeries and treats abound, but, as usual, there was next to nothing that was gluten free. Sure we could go to the grocery store and buy prepackaged gluten free cookies, but it’s just not the same as biting into something sweet and crispy and oh-so-dreamy from the bakery case! Other than that, though, our vacation was great (read: warm and without snow). It also turned out to be inspiring because when we got home we decided to create a recipe that would look and taste as good as all those confections on display. I think we nailed it! These cream cheese pastries are crisp and flaky on the outside and soft and creamy and sweet in the middle. Geoff says they are better than anything he’s had in a longgg time! And they are versatile: make them with your favorite fruit pie filling – cheery, apple, blueberry … whatever you can imagine. Drizzle them with glaze or melted chocolate, dust them with icing sugar, or just leave them plain, which is the way we like ’em. (Scroll down for the recipe.)
