This week I am grateful for:
I just made puff pastry with their new mix for the first time. It was quite a lot of work with combining the butter etc, and putting it in the freezer for 15 minutes after every two rollings...for a total of 6 rollings. But if you make your own regular puff pastry, you have to do all that too - although if I recall you don't have to "freeze" it so often.
From the pastry, I made a steak and onion pie and wow! It was yummy! I haven't had flaky/puff pastry for over 6 years as I've never known a way to make it gluten free. I just assumed I'd never eat it again. But it worked! It was crisp, and crunchy, and tasty and you'd never have guessed it was gluten free. Even John liked it!!
I ate dinner before taking a photo of the pie - but half is left for tomorrow - so here is my half-eaten gluten free puff pastry steak and onion pie!
If you need to eat gluten free - and don't mind spending a bit of time baking - give this pastry a go. There is enough to make two pies, so I've frozen half of it already rolled out, so next time it will be quick and easy! :=D

I don't know what it is to have strickt diet but i'm glad that there are so many solutions these days for people with a gluten diet. Enjoy your nice pie!! Hugzz...Peebee
We did enjoy it! Every year more and more options appear for gluten free year, so it is much easier than when I was first diagnosed. And I've always loved cooking and baking, so that's useful!!
