Baking today

Posted in Gluten Free Recipes

Charlotte decided that she should make some cookies today, so I told her where the Gluten Free cookbook is, and she sat down at the kitchen table to check out the cookie recipes. This is the one that she made (with little to no help from me as I was cleaning off counter tops and rearranging the things that need to be on the counter tops). We also doubled the recipe so I had her figure out the amounts that she would be using in the recipe (math) and then she mixed them up in the Kitchen Aid, I helped her scoop them up to put on the baking sheet and to put them in the oven, but other than that ... she did it all (life skills).

CINNAMON ROUNDS
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/4 cup soya flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease baking sheets. Cream margarine and sugar together. Add egg and vanilla and blend well. Sift together flours, starch, baking powder, salt and 1 tsp cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture. Mold the mixture using about 1 Tbsp into balls and roll in a mixture of the chopped nuts and remaining 1 tsp cinnamon. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove immediately from baking sheets. Yields about 2 1/2 dozen.

Iced Coffee Syrup
≈ coffee
≈ water
≈ sugar

***IMPORTANT***: you need a percolator style coffee pot to make this.
DO NOT use a drip style coffee maker to make this syrup!!!!!

* Make one pot of coffee, then discard the grounds.
* Add fresh grounds, percolate again, with the coffee as liquid, not fresh water.
* Do this three times.
* To the finished coffee mixture, add one half the amount of sugar (if you end up with 3 cups coffee mixture, add 1 1/2 cups sugar).
* Mix until sugar is completely dissolved.

* To use: add 2 - 3 tablespoons of syrup to a 10 oz glass of milk, stir to mix and enjoy.
