Gluten free strawberry shortcake?

[chlobo]

There is a strawberry festival tomorrow that we've gone to in the past. Trouble is that now we are gluten free. What can we use as a substitute "biscuit" o put the strawberries on?

I don't know but I sure would like to!! I'm looking for a biscuit and/or dumpling recipe myself. My DS went off all grains except corn (including rice, oats, wheat, barley, etc.) last week. And I'm having trouble coming up with much of anything. If you have a regular gluten-free flour mixture though, can't you just substitute it, or do you want a recipe that was MEANT to be gluten-free?

I don't know what else you're avoiding, but I googled "gluten free biscuits" and got a few hits. If you're egg-free, too, you could add "vegan" to your search. There are a couple gluten-free vegan food bloggers out there that have a lot of good looking recipes.

If you're looking for other ideas, you could make gf crepes, waffles, pancakes, or muffins. That festival sounds YUMMY!

Well I was hoping for prepackaged. lol.:

Guess I'll try google. I don't have any gluten free flour mixtures but I do have some flours on hand.

I haven't tried this recipe yet but it might work:

Basic Biscuits

½ c barley flour
1 ½ c oat flour
4 tsp aluminum free baking powder
2 tsp maple sugar or beet sugar (optional)
¼ tsp salt
5 tbsp chilled veggie shortening
3 tsp Ener-g replacer mixed with ¼ c rice or oat milk
½ c rice or oat milk

oven to 450. Combine dry ingredients and then cut chilled veggie shortening in with a wire pastry cutter or 2 knives until the texture if that of a course meal. Add egg replacer and work in. Then add the milk a bit at a time. Flour your hands, a rolling pin and a board or counter top. Dump out the dough and mold into a ball, handling as little as possible. If it seems too dry, sprinkle with a few drops of milk or water and work in gently. Roll out to about ¾ in thick and cut with a 2 ½ in biscuit cutter. Gently transfer to lightly greased and floured cookie sheet. Bake about 15 minutes until golden brown on top

I believe Recipeczar has a gf recipe that is similar to Bisquick

FYI: Barley has gluten

What can I use as a dairy sub for milk? Think coconut milk yogurt might do?

If it's just a small amount, I would use water.
