50g unsalted butter
75g castor sugar
175g ORGRAN plain flour *
30g rice flour (or cornflour)

Method
Melt 50g butter in a small saucepan and continue to cook until nut brown, set aside to cool slightly. Cream the remaining room temperature butter and castor sugar together in an electric mixer.


Sieve the flour and rice flour together and add to the butter mixture, mixing well by hand. Stir in the macadamia nuts and marmalade, adding the cooled nut-brown butter. Stir well to combine, then divide the mixture in two and roll each half into a cylindrical shape on a lightly floured clean work surface. Make sure that there are no cracks then roll up tightly in cling film and place on a flat surface and refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight until ready to use.


Pre-heat the oven to 180C and line a couple of baking trays with baking paper. Slice the biscuit dough into even rounds about 1-1.5cm thick and bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

Pizza World offers Gluten-Free options

Filed under: Dining Out


For $4 extra you can now order a pizza from Pizza World, Warilla that has a gluten-free base.

I sampled my favourite variety - Seafood - and it was SO good! The crust reminded me of the

Country Life Gluten Free white bread and was a welcome change to the standard stodgy pizza base.

I would definitely buy it again!

Gluten Free Cheese Crackers

One of the things I have missed about cutting out wheat from my diet is cheese crackers. I adapted the recipe from Cooks.com and substituted wheat flour for gluten free flour.


350g grated cheddar cheese
500g Orgran Gluten-Free Plain flour
500g Rice Bubbles or other puffed rice
2 sticks melted butter (8 oz.)
1 tsp. salt or seasoned salt
1 tsp. cayenne pepper

Combine flour, salt and cayenne pepper and sift. Add grated cheese and mix well.
Make crackers the size of 50 cent pieces then use a fork to flatten them. Place on tray lined with baking paper.

Bake at 190°F for 15 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Cool on wire racks for half an hour and store in an airtight container.

I used the Orgran Plain flour for this recipe. You'll need the whole 500g packet which costs $3.51 at Woolworths and substituted Perfecto Italliano Pizza Shredded Cheese for the Cheddar.  You could use Parmesan cheese or Pecorino instead. Other variations to this recipe include the addition of  fresh or dried herbs or garlic powder.

Almond and Rice Flour Bread with Poppy Seeds

75 minutes Prep: 20 minutes Cook: 55 minutes
108 calories per serving view nutrition facts

Ingredients
1/2 cup almonds whole, with skins
1 1/2 cups rice flour, brown
4 tsps baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3 tsps poppy seeds
1/2 cup yogurt, low-fat
1/2 cup water
1 large egg
1 large egg whites
2 tbsps vegetable oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.

Place almonds and 1/2 cup of the flour in bowl of a food processor and grind until a fine meal is formed (the flour will prevent the nuts from turning oily). Add remaining rice flour, the baking powder, salt and 2 teaspoons of the poppy seeds; process briefly.

Combine yogurt, water, whole egg, egg white and oil in a 2-cup measuring cup.

With processor motor running, pour liquid ingredients through feed tube over flour mixture, processing just long enough to mix.

Transfer batter to prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining poppy seeds, and bake for 55 minutes. Turn out onto a rack to cool. (Bread slices best after several hours, or the next day).

Makes one 18-ounce loaf (18 slices).
