SUE'S GLUTEN FREE BAKING @ HOME
Handmade Pasta
1 ½ cups sweet rice flour
½ cup tapioca starch
1 tsp guar gum
¼ tsp salt
4 eggs
Add dry ingredients in large bowl and mix. Make a well in the centre and add eggs, one at a time, mixing with a fork after each one.
Turn dough out onto floured table (use sweet rice flour), knead till even consistency, add flour, or a small amount of water as necessary. Cover and let dough rest for at least 10 minutes.
Cut into small pieces, hand roll into oblong shapes and run through a pasta machine. If you don’t have a pasta machine, roll the shapes as thin as you can that you can still pick up. Use to compile a lasagna, or cut into noodles. No need to boil pasta for lasagna, but if making noodles, boil for just a few minutes until the noodles rise and are somewhat firm, drain and serve.

Pour batter into greased 9” square pan.
Topping: place ingredients in a small bowl and using the back of a spoon, or your hands, blend well. Sprinkle over the cake batter, press down in some spots to push the topping into the cake.
Bake at 325° for 25-30 minutes, until just golden on the edges. Remove from oven and let cool in pan. Gently loosen from sides and slide onto cake plate, or cut and serve directly from pan.

1 ½ cup Purest Tea Biscuit & Scone Mix
¼ cup white sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
½ tsp guar gum
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp canola or vegetable oil

Toppings:
Cinnamon sugar
Icing sugar
Mix together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and using
hand mixer or stand mixer, blend until well incorporated. The
batter will be very thick. Roll small portions of dough into
one inch balls. The recipe will make approximately 22 dough balls.
Heat 3-4 cups of oil in small pot to 375°. Drop 1 inch balls into the hot oil. The balls will puff up as they cook, using tongs or a spoon, roll the dough balls over to cook evenly till golden.
Remove dough balls onto a plate with paper towels to absorb the oil. While still warm, roll dough balls in cinnamon sugar. If using icing sugar, let cool till almost room temperature then roll in icing sugar.
Doughnuts can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
