you know what I don’t like about most gluten free reciepes is that you never specify the kind of flour there are so many flour mixes that you just can’t nail it… There’s yellow, white corn, brown, yellow, white rice…
Marie-Josee, I have so many gluten free flours in my refrigerator. I usually mix them and come out with a good product. A product like Tom Sawyer GF flour mix makes it really easy. If you are confused why not try a mix like this? ~ Kathy
This sounds like a good recipe, can you freeze them?
I’ve never tried freezing them but it would probably be fine.
