This is really popular with my GF friends Lemon Shortbread Gluten free Ingredients 250g butter, softened but not melted 1 1/2 cups maize cornflour 3/4 cup rice flour 3/4 cup Chelsea Icing Sugar 1 tsp grated lemon rind Method Preheat oven to 150°C. Mix all ingredients in a food processor until smooth and well combined. Roll dough on a maize cornflour dusted surface to a 1cm thickness. Cut into fingers or press out shapes using cookie cutters. Place on a baking tray and prick with a fork. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes until pale but crisp (longer slower baking is the trick with shortbread). Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container. Makes: 35 - 40 pieces

There's a really nice lemon cake made with almonds instead of flour and you can serve it with natural yog or cream.
Will have to fish it out for you if you want it.

The lemon shortbread keeps really well for a week and can be frozen too. The cake is probably better made the night before, but it would be okay if you made it two nights ahead. I find GF cakes don't keep as well. You could make the cake well ahead, freeze it & then thaw & ice it the night before.

so im gonna go with the shortbread cos i can make that tues night, the almond cake sounds delish but might be costly, im thinking that choccy cake nanasee1!! then i need something savory, someone gave me a good fritter recipe but am thinking too much work, so i might modfiy my retro toasties, basically cheese on toast but its vogels toasted with a cheese/egg mix but ya add like chives and onions, peppers etcthen i could do just a few with gluten free bread - problem solved toasties are nicer with bacon but we cant do that!! and they are delish hot or cold!!

Bacon and Egg Yorkies Precook some bacon rashes and chop into piecesIn a bowl, make an egg mix with salt, pepper, grated cheese and diced onion and mix well. Add the bacon piecesNow make some Yorkshire puddings in muffin tins. Once the yorkies are cooked and risen, poor some of the mix inside and place back in oven till the egg mix cooks and sets
