Managing a gluten free diet at home has always been relatively straightforward if you take it seriously, but it鈥檚听significantly more difficult when you are out in the world and relying on others. Our resident coeliac hates the slightly awkward conversation with waiters 听鈥淚鈥檓 coeliac so I need to be gluten free鈥︹ which usually results in decent but restricted choices for starters and main courses, but too often fruit salad for pudding (or cheese鈥..without the biscuits). Now, she鈥檚 no fruit dodger, but how disappointing is that!?
It really doesn鈥檛 have to be that way. We make a gluten free brownie at home using ground almonds, and they鈥檙e fantastic; even normal humans love them!
And now it鈥檚 become something of a doddle using a brilliant 鈥榗heat鈥 from from . Their gluten and dairy free chocolate brownie mix is so simple听to use and makes fantastic, rich and delicious gluten free brownies.
I love simple in the kitchen! All I had to do was empty the mix into the Kenwood bowl, add two eggs (from our unfailingly productive leghorns) and 100g of butter give it a quick mix and spoon it into a cake tin. 20 minutes in the oven and I鈥檇 produced a batch of perfect, slightly gooey brownies. I thought a dollop of cr猫me fraiche would add a touch of sophistication to my creation, but the Coeliac was having none of that malarkey and enjoyed hers hot with coffee. There were a couple left in the morning and
they were firmer by then and just as delicious.
I鈥檒l not be faffing about with the ground almonds anymore, or the creme fraiche.
