I was disappointed in the NFCA “holiday baking” webinar last night- it was
just basic gf baking and there was no holiday baking per se.  But I just
happened upon this recipe on the web by accident- it looks like an
interesting recipe to try with an alternative flour.  They look rather
festive.  There’s a short video to watch them being made.  It’s messy the
way she mixes by hand- guess one could wear gloves!  But it’s good to see
how the dough should look,
