Just seeing what I can learn with flours. Not for replication as is, just a reference for further experiment. This morning's experiment:
- 1/2 cup sweet rice flour
- 2 tbs. sugar
- 1/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tbs. butter
- 1/2 lemon zest
- 1/2 lemon juice
- 1/2 cup - lemon juice quantity yoghurt
15 minutes at 425F. Flattened out, more like pancake shaped than biscuit shape. Outside was pleasantly browned, with slight carmelization. Lemon flavor was present, almost a little strong, but no off-flavors from the leavening agents. Fairly large, pleasant crumb. Inside had a gooey texture, kind of like sticky rice, almost pleasant that thin, but would have been annoying in a biscuit or muffin thickness. Tomorrow morning I play with straight brown rice flour.

Yeah, that's why I'm experimenting with rice flours. I'm not putting this up here as a "this is immediately usable", more as a memory helper as I experiment with varying combinations of starches, fibers and leaveners to see what sort of textures I can get.

This recipe is 100% gluten free. Isn't it? I have a friend with a wheat allergy who is collecting gluten free recipes. I need to send her this way.

Yesterday: Same thing with brown rice flour and half the liquid. Good texture, I need to repeat the experiment with the sweet rice flour and see if it gets that stickiness.

they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
