Getting Started
- Mind Your GF Flour Blend: Use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, ideally one containing xanthan gum, for better structure. If your blend lacks it, add 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour.
- Prevent Sinking Berries: Toss fresh or frozen blueberries lightly with 1-2 tablespoons of the dry gluten-free flour mixture before folding into batter. This coats them, helping them suspend evenly and preventing them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Adjust for Moisture: Gluten-free flours can absorb more liquid. If your batter seems excessively thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk or water until it reaches a standard consistency. Overmixing will still develop toughness, even without gluten, so mix until just combined.
- Bake to Temperature, Not Just Time: Use a toothpick test for doneness, but for denser items like cakes, an internal temperature of 93-96°C (200-205°F) ensures a fully baked, moist crumb without being dry.
