Just discovered today that Woolworths are stocking Pavillion GF flaky pastry in the frozen section! Has anyone tried this yet! (I'm not a fan of their breads but the pastry may be worth a go) It's pricey at $7++ per packet but may be good for an occasional treat. Thanks again to everyone who has posted such helpful tips and recipes. I'm feeling much more positive about it already!

I love Pavilions bread- the Sundried Tomato, Soy and Linseed especially.They are not "damp" like others, and toast perfectly, yummy and crunchy. I will try their pastry when I've lost a couple of kgs lol.

I have just had my 9 year old daughter diagnosed coeliac and whilst she is awaiting biopsy and still having to keep on gluten so as not to muck up results (poor thing) I have been practising GF baking in anticipation with very mixed results. I am fine with main meals but I'm after lunchbox snacks, small cakes (that rise and don't crumble) and soft breads (if there is such a thing). I seem to have managed to make a rice tortila wrap that tastes good for 'sandwiches' but a lot of baking (including the most revolting banana buckwheat pancakes) is going to end up being fed to the ducks. Does buckwheat taste good in anything really! Oh and I licked the biscuit batter spoon with soy flour in the mix and nearly threw up - yuk. Soy flour was fine cooked though but the days of kiddo licking the bowl out seem to have gone! Any suggestions.!!

Thank you angie for these tips. I think it is an issue with moisture and binding. Biscuits seems OK if you want crunchy ones but it's the 'soft' baking I'm having problems with!

Have you tried making a chocolate brownie!
I just replace the flour with gluten free flour, and it is gorgeous - even non gf people love it.
I also do the same thing with my choc chip cookies, and my ginger and raisin cookies, as with my banana bread.
I use the Orgran and the Bakells flours.
