Hello everyone, welcome to my latest recipe for Gluten and Dairy Free Pistachio Shortbread.
I’m still being focused on developing my ideas book into recipes for the website and this is one I’ve had on my to do list for ages. I’ve got tonnes of ideas to work on for gluten and dairy free cake and biscuit recipes. Here is a little look at some of the sweet treats I’m working on:
- Raspberry Bakewell traybake
- Brownie gift jar
- Salted caramel banana bread
- Spiced white chocolate cookies
- Lemon and coconut cake with berries
I love making shortbread – maybe it’s because I’m Scottish. I think it is a biscuit that translates well into a gluten and dairy free version without losing its texture or taste. To jazz up my plain shortbread recipe I’ve added in some chopped pistachios and half dipped them in dairy free dark chocolate.
I used the rest of the pistachios in a breakfast dish to make a lovely bowl of chocolate pear porridge. I’ll share that recipe with you soon.
