Gluten Free Saints' Days- St. John the Baptist

I've heard from a lot of people lately about the frustration of adapting old saints day traditions to new gluten free diets.

So I thought I'd post up another of our GF treats we made for St. John's yesterday.

I will try to post our other planned recipes a day or two before the feast day.

St. John's Locusts and Honey
Originally I made these with a plain wheat biscuit recipe and I have heard of them being made with crescent rolls too.

Now I make them with a scone recipe. The original recipe can be found in Bette Hagman's The Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread I believe they are listed as "Devonshire scones" (I highly recommend Hagman's books to anyone who is G-F!)

Here is my adapted recipe:

2 cups White Rice Flour
1 cup Tapioca
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
8 tbs cold butter-grated
3/4 cup vanilla yogurt.

Preheat oven to 400 and grease your cookie sheet.

mix all dry ingredients very thoroughly.
mix in butter until crumbly
mix in yogurt until a soft ball of dough is formed

I knead it slightly on a rice floured board and break off balls
and pat them into ovals on the pan.- about 16

We add G-F pretzel legs and antenna. and almond wings. ds ate all the
cranberry eyes before we could add them.

Bake about 12 minutes until golden and serve with Honey butter!

Enjoy!
