“The Gluten Free version of this recipe is excellent. These have a wonderful light cake like texture which is hard to find in gluten free baked goods. I can only imagine how good they would be made with regular wheat flour! Everyone at my house enjoyed these, even the ones that can eat gluten.” – Calla Ferre
