Despite the picture I actually could have cooked these for another 10 minutes to get a better texture (they were more cake than scone) but they were so delicious that I didn’t mind at all. Next time I will use the suggested topping with the cream and sugar but I left it off originally because it seemed like it would be too sweet. These are perfect for a quick morning breakfast.
I bought a Twinkie pan just to make these for my friend who is sensitive to gluten. I’m a big believer in eating foods that are GF naturally instead of trying to make fake versions of the foods you love with gluten that will always be a little disappointing when compared with their gluten packed cousins but on the other hand, everyone has a birthday and he requested these. They do fluff up and are similar enough to the original that they may give you some nostalgia vibes.
Makes about 10-12 twinkies (my pan only holds 8 though so it was 8 + a mini cake)
3 cups gluten-free multi-purpose flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 1/2 cups sugar
12 tablespoons soft butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
1 cup milk

Yum! This cake was so moist and delicious! It’s just like the Tri Color Cookies I love to make but it’s so much easier to make. The cake looks extremely impressive but it’s really very simple and no harder than a standard chocolate or yellow cake.
This is my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s no nonsense and they cookies come out light and fluffy with just a little bit of chew to them. Best enjoyed while they’re still a bit warm (you can pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds the next day to get that just out of the oven feel!)
This is a fairly easy to do cookie bar recipe which turns out delicious homemade cookie. The recipe called for a 13×9 but I used a 9×9 and it worked out okay as well. I made it in the stand mixer but you could easily make this by hand or with a hand mixer with the same amount of ease. It comes together in under 5 minutes so it’s the perfect recipe for a last minute dessert.
I make these every year for Christmas/New Years. They come out amazing and they’re eye-catching and delicious. They are not simple to make and will take you at least 3 hours usually between the cooking and cooling and pressing and mixing and so on. They are some of the most expensive cookies I make regularly due to the almond paste, jam, a large amount of butter, almond extract, and the chocolate for the top but I think they’re worth every penny. The recipe makes 40-50 cookies depending how you cut them and makes a fantastic gift.
I love cinnamon rolls plain but you can frost these babies too. I used a basic butter butter cream but you can frost with cream cheese if you’re feeling that instead. This is a great recipe which actually takes about 15 active minutes of doing anything, it’s a lot of waiting but of course when you come out with soft, gooey cinnamon rolls it’s worth the wait!
