Hi Shauna,,,,,thank you for writing “gluten free girl”….I’m enjoying going in and out of it….can you
believe I was diagnosed in 1963 I was living in Boston at the time and went to about 5 docs
no one had a clue…when I could barely walk and went down to 80 lbs..I went home to Fall
River….to die, basically…..I guess it wasn’t quite my time as I got a good doc who diagnosed
the celiac, but said stay on diet for a year…..that is another story…….I also like Betty Hagman.
She didn’t have a pie recipee in her baking book that’s why I bought yours….I’m preparing for
the pie crust…I’ll keep you posted…..Aloha, Janet
Your wonderful scones! Ha ha! Was excited by these wonderful looking scones and decided to have a go this morning. First of all flour is different over here in the UK – most of us using Gluten Free Wheat Flour which comes on prescription from the doctor (pampered lot aren’t we?). Still I follow the instructions as best I can – don’t recognise the sucanet so substituted muscovado. What size eggs? I’ve got medium so use two whole ones of those. Buttermilk – never seen that – substituted ordinary half fat milk. ‘Sticks’ of butter? (fortunately you’d put the grams) – so far so good. I followed the instructions to the letter – in the freezer with the dough. Farenheight temperature – I’m on centegrade – still I know the conversion . . . Dough looks far too wet – still, in the oven they go. Oven fan on or not? After ten minutes I decided not and turned it off as they are cooking too fast. After 30 minutes they are done and I get them out. Look OK – nearly as good as your picture. Then I realise that in converting the temperature I added 32 instead of subtracting it. No wonder they cooked so fast! But they are gorgeous – undetectable from gluten scones. Thank you – I’m off to look for something else now. Angela.
My daughter was just diagnosed with Celiac on Wed at 15. As a mother, I want to make her dietary changes as easy as possible. Thank you so much for the recipes and the blog. You are a great writer and I can’t wait to get your cookbook and start trying new things. Collard Greens and eggs, who would have thought, I have never had Collard Greens and since today is my first day I am able to go grocery shopping, I will be buying some at whole foods to try it out. Thank you!

I am excited to try the crusty bread. Do you have anything that can help me switch from grams to ounces?
1 ounce = 28 grams
