One of my favorites things to do is wow people with gluten free food. It seems like so many people have this idea that all gluten free food is gross and dry. I love proving them wrong. This recipe is definitely one to do that exact thing.
In fact I did a taste test with my husband using this recipe. I made one batch gluten free and one batch with regular flour. After tasting both he said he liked the gluten free better, both taste and consistency. Boom… there it is, even someone who isn’t gluten free likes the gluten free version better.
When you make these, don’t tell people they are gluten free until after they have tried a bite. They will be shocked and impressed 🙂
