hi, can you recommend a way to doctor this recipe so I don't have to use dairy?Am trying to find 'the perfect' rice bread recipe!If anyone has any other good rice bread recipes that make the bread with a bread like consistency rather than scone, I would appreciate it.

Another bump up for the evening crew

You mean you haven't found anything in these 13 pages?

Well after your "comment" about the 13 pages i went back through all 13 of them and found that a great majority of the pages are comments,ideas, savoury recipes and ammendments to recipeswhich people have actually made and about 30 odd were sweet recipes which is greatbut not all of the ingreds in some of the recipes present were foods my friend can actually eat as she has other allergies intolerance etc
which is why I asked for other recipes for her and i normally find people posting in the recipe site very helpful
cheers

Chocolate Almond Cake

200g high quality dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1/2 cup butter, cut into small pieces
6 eggs, separated
3/4 cup granular sugar (or substitute)
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
Confectioners sugar or finely ground granular sugar substitute for dusting

Preheat oven to 175 degrees C. and butter a round springform pan.

In a double boiler set over low heat (or use a large metal bowl set over a pan of water), combine the chocolate and butter and cook, stirring occasionally, until smooth and melted. Stir in almonds and set aside to cool slightly.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar substitute until well-combined. Slowly add egg mixture to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring to combine. Stir in almond extract.

Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl and, using an electric hand-mixer, beat the egg whites until firm peaks form.

Use a large spatula and fold in one-fourth of the beaten whites to the chocolate mixture. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until just blended, making sure that egg white is distributed evenly throughout chocolate mixture.

Pour batter into springform pan and smooth the top. Bake for 20 minutes or until cake has puffed and is just set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and deflate slightly.

When ready to serve, use a dull knife or a thin metal spatula and run it between the cake and springform pan. Release the sides of the springform pan. Dust with sugar or substitute and serve. For best results, use a sharp knife to cut cake into slices, dipping knife in water and wiping it off after each slice.

I bake this for guests and they never realize there is no flour in it :)
Good luck.

Bumping. Am on week 4 of glutent free diet so threads like this are so helpful!!! Made the corn fritters last night - YUM!!!

letto, Dec 23, 4:59am
bumping cause I need to write some recipes down.Merry Christmas girls and thanks for the wonderful recipes on this thread..

jacb23, Dec 24, 4:17am
What a shame this thread seems to have been taken over by Herika vs Melford.Melford is certainly not blameless - she continues to react to whatever Herika says even if Herika has rather extreme views.If one of them just decide to not comment on the other's posts then this thread would be fine!!!It has some great recipe ideas.

hestia, Dec 25, 12:30pm
No, Melford is not at fault here.

melford, Dec 26, 7:37am
jacb23 - This thread was started by me for recipes. Herika monopolises two other threads re living gluten free! The reason I started it was because everytime I tried to contribute to HER threads she contradicted some ingredients I used and everything I stated as if she was medically qualified to do so. She is not. She gathers information off websites and is determined to undermine anyone who dares offer another opinion. Not content with two threads running (I might add of which she is the main contributor)she comes in to the recipe thread and floods that with information that everybody is capable of finding for themselves. Many times she copies and pastes the same information over and over again. Can we not have ONE thread without her rantings?

kylene24, Dec 31, 8:16am
Just came across this thread from going through pages and pages of recipe threads looking for gluten free recipes, newly diagnosed and found some good recipes so thought this would be useful to others who are newly diagnosed.

Shame about the bickering from some and the need to be right kinda ruins it all however thank you to the kind people who have shared their recipes :)

nzbadger, Jan 1, 1:21am
Thought I would bump this up & offer a recipe I stole from somehwere. It is Yummy & all my family & friends who are not GF LOVE it also.

Lets keep this thread to GF Recipes & keep it nice people!

Orange Cake ( gluten free)
410 gms Eggs ( About 7 x Size 7 eggs)
310 gms Castor sugar
310 gms Ground Almonds
15 gms GF Baking Powder( approx 1 heaped teaspoon)
600gms Oranges ( 4 large oranges)

Chop the tops & bottoms off the oranges, place in a saucepan & gently boil uncovered for1 ½ hours. Keep topping up water as required. Drain off the excess fluid & use a blender stick( or food processor)& whizz to make a orange slush. Place in a bowl in fridge to cool.
Once cooled:
Turn oven on to 180 C.
To make the Cake batter:
Put ground almonds in a bowl & mix the B.Powder through the almonds well with a fork.
Mix the eggs & sugar together in another bowl. Do not aerate the mix too much.
Add the orange slush & ground almonds mix to the eggs/ sugar mix.
Mix gently together to evenly combine. The batter will appear very wet. This is fine.
Pour the mix into a greased / lined tin. Approx 9 to 10 inch round tin.
Bake for about 80 – 90 mins until a tester comes out clean.
Leave the cake in the tin for about 20 mins before removing from the tin.
When completely cool :
Glaze if desired with a Apricot glaze.
A couple of tablespoons of Apricot Jam in a small pot with juice of 1 lemon.
Heat up to make runny. Brush onto cake. Can sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds if desired.
Serve with whipped Cream

Peanut butter cookies I got given this recipe by my sons girlfriend, beat 4 eggs, add 500g of peanut butter, I used smooth, add 400g sugar and 345g of chocolate chips. Mix all together, put in spoonful lots on baking paper (they stick otherwise) and cook at 175 for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. They were yummy.

barnmont1, Jan 4, 11:28pm
we are having friends for tea and one of them is gluten free .wht dish can i make that everyone will enjoy.He wont want special treatment and I dont really want to go out and buy all gf flour etc.

nzbadger, Jan 4, 11:39pm
Just keep it simple with few additives. Any meat on BBQ( Steak, chicken, chops, prawns( Not sausages unless GF & not marinated as marinade will have Gluten in it)) & a fresh salad or any Vegies & Potatoes etc.
Dessert can be Pavlova, fresh fruit, cream , yogurt etc.

Hope this helps.
