I love the simplicity of this recipe! Unfortunately, I always have to come up with a substitution for gluten-based flour. Until recently, I had given up (I’ve tried EVERY variation) but then I discovered that oats and rice flour make the perfect combo!
Thanks Lisa, and thanks for the tip. I haven’t explored any gluten-free options as yet, but I will keep this in mind. xx
