Actually, I have been working on them for a while, but never satisfied with the results. Until now.
Meet the cupcakes! Excuse the frosting. A little sloppy but all good. I will let you in my secret. I do not use 'gluten free' cook books. Why? I find them...inaccurate. I'm not sure if it's that they aren't well tested, or maybe it's my measuring cups, but they never seem to work out. So instead, I have done enough work to find the right ratio of gluten free flours, starches and liquids. And then I hit old cookbooks, like the binder style Betty Crocker one. The same book my mom would use, I can pretty much alter most recipes now. It takes alot of work, countless horrible batches but the effort is well worth it.
Too bad Cliff isn't around...more for me! And for my friend Cyclecross Dave, who is laid up with pericarditis as a gift from the Lyme Disease gods. Finally out of the hospital...hopefully along with very bad action movies and greasy Chinese food, he'll recover fast enough to maybe do one more cyclecross race.
