This book really pushes the limits on grain-free baking and you’ll also find recipes for waffle cones, danishes, baguettes and a grilled cheese. However, you will find
She does use some ingredients that I don’t normally stock in my pantry like potato starch, potato flour, xanthum gum, guar gum,. white rice flour, and plantain flour. I will be grabbing some soon though so I can enjoy the croissants as a Holiday treat.
