GLUTEN FREE BATTER BUNS



Gluten Free Batter Buns image

This recipe is in a cookbook that my Mother In-Law's LDS Relief Society had created for a fundraiser that she gave to me for Christmas about 8 years ago. I decided to try using Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All Purpouse baking flour in the recipe for a gluten free way and they turned out great, coming out resembling a wheat roll. When I made them, I didn't have time to allow them to rise, so they came out pretty small. The batter will be like muffin batter. I used an ice cream scoop to pour them into the muffin pan. This will make 12 rolls.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your batter buns.
  • Make sure your buttermilk is fresh and active. You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the buns tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will give the gluten time to relax and will make the buns lighter and fluffier.
  • Bake the buns in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Don't overbake the buns. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the buns warm or at room temperature.
