Last Monday I took my son to pasar malam
and he saw the everybody's favourite biscuits -
Belly Button Biscuits!!!
The first thing he said was,
"Mummy I want this please,
and sadly I had to say NO to him
and explained to him that
it contains wheat/gluten, which he can't consume...;-(( "
But, I told him,
" Mummy promise Mummy
will bake for you ok...;-) "
He smiled and said , " ok Mummy. "
Ta Da!!!
Gluten Free Belly Button Biscuits

Here's the recipe:
1 1/4 cup of rice flour
1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp GF baking powder
1/4 cup of organic brown sugar
( I usually add 20% lesser )
4 tbps of soft unsalted butter OR
5 tbsp of corn oil
1 beaten egg
2 tbsp organic light corn syrup
1 grated lemon ( Optional )
Preheat oven 140C fan
Place all ingredients into
a food processor or cake mixer
Mix all together if you find the dough a bit dry please add a little milk.
Roll the dough to thickness of 1/4" .
Use a circle shape cutter to cut the shape,
I used an icing piping tube ( the base )
ie 15mm
Put them onto baking sheets to bake
for 8-10 mins to light brown.
Let it cool. Once they are cool, you
may pipe the icing ontop .
Tada that's all.
easy easy !!!
