GLuten Free Belly Button Biscuits


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

so thrill, happy and hyper tomorrow !!!!!




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 !!!

Icing - Meringue Powder Royal Icing

( choose Meringue powder because its safer for children  )

1/4 cup Meringue Powder
1/2 Cup cold water
1 kg icing sugar 

Add meringue powder to cold water .
Let it set thereafter beat on medium speed until soft peaks ( 3 mins )
Add sugar gradually and beat till even. 


Divide them accordingly and add Wilton colours according to your desire.

Pls note this is a Gluten Free cookie/biscuit,

Gluten Free Cookies

Gluten Free ( GF )  Cranberry / Lemon  Cookies



I used to buy commercial GF cookies for my two chipmunks.
They both can finish a box within less 
then an hour!!!

Each box costs me RM 15.90, 
which is very very expensive.

I have decided to do some research and experiement to develope 
a cookie recipe that is similiar 
to the commercial ones....

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 
Organic Cranberry 1/2 cup OR Organic Raisins 


Preheat oven 150C 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.

Soak the cranberry into hot water 
for just 3-5 mins.

Remove the Cranberry/ Raisins from 
the hot water and press all the water out. 

Mince the cranberry/ raisins and 
mix into the dough.

Roll the dough to thickness of 1/4" to any shape you desire .

Put them onto baking sheets to bake 
for 8-10 mins to light brown.

Tada that's all.

easy easy !!!


You may use the same recipe to make decorated shape cookies , just without the cranberry.





Prepared the cookies for my son 
to decorate to present 
to his school teachers 
and his BFF's birthday




Here are his designs, not bad for a 5 year old boy , 
hehhehehhe.
He piped the board lines himself.
