The Canadian Celiac Association developed the following wafer which may be
baked, placed in a sealed container, handed to the priest, and blessed in
some Catholic churches.
2 Tablespoons potato starch
1 cup minus 2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 cups brown or white rice flour
3 Tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons xanthan gum
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup buttermilk
Sift all dry ingredients together and mix well. Cut in the margarine.
Add the buttermilk. Mix with fingers until the dough is workable. Roll
with a rolling pin on a rice floured surface as thin as possible. Cut
into small circles. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for
six minutes. These wafers will not brown.
