[Sca-cooks] gluten free recipe help

[Laureen Hart]

Cooked millet with honey and spices also makes a nice Gyngerbrede substitute.

Gluten-free bread made into breadcrumbs makes a very acceptable Gyngerbrede.

Stuffed Dates - stuffed with almonds, or pine nuts, or cheese, or fried in honey and dusted with pepper (Apicius)

Buckwheat pancakes

Oatcakes

Rice Pudding - perhaps with "jeweled" with saffron,  nuts and fruits like pistachios, apricots, chopped dates?

Sweet Blancmange

Marzipan

Honeyed Walnuts

Angel's Food (ricotta, sugar, orange or rose water - I like to use both)

If you are not familiar with gluten-free flours, I'd advise against trying to make something now with a straight-up substitution.  There is really no such thing as an "all purpose" gluten free flour, they are NOT all created equally, with one being mostly bean (Bob's Red Mill), some primarily tapioca and rice starch (pie shells), and some made with higher protein flours like sorghum and quinoa.  Like I said, a loaf of good gluten-free bread (Udi's, Rudi's, Scharr), will make dandy breadcrumbs to make up a batch of period Gyngerbrede, but other than that, stick to actual gluten-free flour products like the oat, rice, and buckwheat I mentioned above (all of those are period, too!).

We're doing a dessert board for an event this weekend, and I just
realized that we have a fair number of baked dishes that have wheat.

Does anyone have a suggestion for something that works well with
gluten-free flour?  The iambles I tried just don't hold together properly.
