gluten free pastry Does anyone have a good gluten free pastry recipe. TIA

frances1266 - 2009-02-25 15:36:00

hi frances1266 -here ya go 1 1/2 cup GF flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon baking powder
4 tablespoons fat (olivani)
4 tablespoons water
Sift all the dry ingredients together. This is important to give some lift to the flour. Cut fat in using two forks or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles clumps about the size of small peas. Add cold water, a little at a time, distributing the water evenly throughout the whole of the mixture. When the mixture sticks together, but is not doughy, roll out onto a table or pie mat dusted with flour. Brush top with a beaten egg. Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.

nanee2jlp - 2009-02-25 19:27:00

by the way frances1266 - the pastry is not crumbly and it freezes well. I use it for both savoury and sweet pies

nanee2jlp - 2009-02-25 19:29:00

gluten free pastry Tks Melford, that sounds great.
What glutenfree flour do you use?

frances1266 - 2009-02-26 08:36:00

I use Bakels Gluten Free flour ....

nanee2jlp - 2009-02-26 11:13:00

frances1266 - how did they turn out? I bake mine in the texan muffins tins but I double the pastry recipe

nanee2jlp - 2009-02-28 18:14:00

g/f pastry Havent had a chance to make them yet Melford - will post when I do.
Cheers.

frances1266 - 2009-02-28 20:27:00

melford I am thinking of making your G/F pastry to make some mince pies,can I make them in my silcone muffin tray,hope I spelt it right,they are made out of rubber lol lol I think,also made some gravy out of arrowroot flour,didnt like it that much,was very clear yuk,what other flour can I use?
Many thanks to you.
I went to the dr today,eyes very runny and sore,I have to stick to gluten and wheat free,also no sugar and no caffeine,its ok as I want to be well,what is an allergy to milk please,just wondering.
Thankyou for your help you have been wonderful

earthangel4 - 2009-03-02 11:28:00

Hi earthangel - my daughter is also allergic to milk. You can read up about the milk allergy on this site
http://www.allergyescape.com/milk-allergy.html. As for your pie making, I use texas muffins but I would think it would work in your muffin pans although it might be a bit fiddly to press the pastry into them. I usually roll out the pastry, use something to cut it the size of your pans (eg glass, biscuit cutter) and then I press that into a sprayed pan. Fill then do the same with the pastry for the top. Gently press the edges togther, brush with beaten egg and use a fork to clamp the edges together. Good luck with them

nanee2jlp - 2009-03-02 20:29:00

earthangel - I make all sorts of gravies and I thicken them with maize cornflour.I use GF stock from Binn Inn and sometimes I also use Massells Chicken Gravy mix in the tin. I also buy Maggi Gluten Free Brown Gravy mix which is delicious. It does cost $24.50 for a huge 900 gm tub which lasts for ages. It is Gluten Free, reduced sodium, 99% fat free and no added msg - brilliant stuff. Maggi also put out a big tub of Chicken Stock Powder too which I use a lot - no reactions to any of these here

nanee2jlp - 2009-03-02 20:34:00

melford Thanks so much for all your help,sounds great,will let you know how I get on.

earthangel4 - 2009-03-02 23:21:00

melford tried your pastry,too much fidling,will have to buy some texas muffin tins and have another go,they didnt turn out that well,as you really do need the texas muffin tins,will do a search on here for them,as living in a small town there is not much here,otherwise wait till I go to Wellington next month,
Many thanks for your awesome recipes,I have written them all out and have put in a book.

earthangel4 - 2009-03-03 11:18:00

earthangel4 - 2009-03-03 12:12:00

Relly love your input and recipes in here,thankyou

earthangel4 - 2009-03-04 10:25:00

Glad you found the gravy powder - I love it and it can be used in casseroles too. I have found another wonderful new product too. It is called Global Cuisine Gluten Free Crunchie Crumb which is a ready to use coating for meat/fish/chicken/onion rings. It has Maize flour, Rice Flour Salt Dextrose, Vegetable oil Emulsifier and Raising Agent. Its wonderful. I buy fish and flour it using Bakels GF Flour, then egg and breadcrumb it and free flow on trays using gladwrap and wrapping each piece individually.It is always on hand for a quick meal

earthangel4 - 2009-03-05 13:33:00

melford Can you tell me what Dextrose is,is it some kind of sugar?
Thanyou

earthangel4 - 2009-03-05 13:35:00

Dextrose Dextrose is a simple sugar that is naturally produced in the body. It is also known as glucose and is a gluten free and easily digestible additive

I have just been eating this and its fab Apple and Cheese Bread
25g butter, 200g gluten free flour, 3 tsp gf baking powder, 1 egg beaten, 2 large apples grated, 125g cheese grated, sesame seeds, salt and pepper. Rub butter (I used food processor) into the flour and bp. Stir in cheese and apple (I tipped out of food processor into a bowl). Season. Mix to a dough with egg. Turn out onto a board dusted with gf flour and lightly knead ( I didn't do this, I just divided into three in bowl and placed on a greased baking sheet). Shape into one large or three small rounds. Place onto greased baking sheet and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated oven 180°C for 50 minutes for large loaf or 20 mins for small loaves. Serve warm or cold.

my breakfast hmm it was nice today i stewed some apples yesterday, so had them cold with vogels gluten free cereal as a topping, so fruit was the main item, going to go mad crazy stewing them now they are cheap at the mo.

motorbo - 2009-03-12 11:00:00

Motorbo Can you tell me,is there any sugar in the vogels gluten free cereal,and do you know if oats is gluten free?
I am on my 3rd day of smoke free,just feeling drained otherwise good,thanks for your support hun

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 13:27:00

I may have to go back to rice,fruit and cream,I am ok on dairy,have started a food dairy and seeing what foods suit,have been unwell with kidney infection

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 13:29:00

I am suffering with Heartburn,it maybe the cream not sure

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 13:30:00

hi earthangel i can check at home tonight for you, but basically you could just mix the fruit with cooked rice or millet, if you can eat it, i also got some coconut flour to try out this weekend!!

motorbo - 2009-03-12 13:41:00

hmm heartburn ...might be due to giving up smoking? not sure

motorbo - 2009-03-12 13:42:00

Thanks Motorbo I also might do some search on here,as have day off today.
I am hoping its not fats from the cream as I have found a hot drink that I really enjoy instead of caffeine

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 14:11:00

yep just done research and oats are safe for Celiac people,woohoo
Poridge for breakfast in the morning,and coffee gives heatburn as well as acid fruits,I have not had any coffee since tuesday,so could be still acting on me.

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 14:45:00

also Celiac people suffer with heartburn,may not be all people,
Just done big research and the breadcrumbs I had for a receipe was not glutenfree,I had bought the wrong ones,they had mixed them up in the supermarket shelves,this is an over look on there part,as I went to the glutenfree section.

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 15:22:00

Just rang the supermarket,and told them,they were really nice about it and were going to look into it.
The reason I rang is I didn,t want anyone else to suffer,but they would proberly look,I was in too much of a hurry to get home and get washing off line before it rained

earthangel4 - 2009-03-12 16:51:00

Motorbo I also going to do heaps of apple stewing and then going to freeze,as much fruit as I can,I have also cooked a weeks brown rice,going to have it with almonds and walnuts and cream.
