Cooking with... John - this time biscuits
Well, got a hankering for buttermilk biscuits and looked up a recipe (or several) I could alter so that it was gluten free (GF).
The reason: Erin has been hankering KFC biscuits of late and I will go and buy them when she wants them and when KFC is open. I'm jealous.
So, I found a recipe and decided to substitute a GF All Purpose flour for the all purpose flour the recipe called for. I went to the store, bought the ingredients and then had to go back to the store a couple of times in order to get the rest of the ingredients I needed because I discovered we didn't have enough things.
On the plus side, the dough was workable... Erin and I discovered (mostly Erin) that GF doughs were often sticky and more of a batter than a dough. The outcome is (really, really) messy.
Anyway, worked the biscuits, bought the ingredients, and baked them. They did not turn out. I will, probably, need to look at a variety of recipes to include GF ones to see what I can do the next time to improve the outcome.
