Dear fellow bakers:
When I was younger (some 30 years ago), my mother would send away for free
recipes from different companies that advertized. Since we are all trying
to adapt our traditional recipes to our situations, I thought you all
might be interested in these 3 recipes that have actually been around for
some time (at least 30 years). Enjoy.
Recent posts to this list have come up with the availability of GF corn
flakes and GF rice krispies (or a reasonable substitute, if Kelloggs
doesn't fir the bill. Yes, there are other food manufacturers on this
world.) It is understood that GF applies throughout.
