shapeofthingsThe Hypothesis: that a starch component is essential in gluten-free flour.
The Experiment: making crepes without a starch component.
The Result: Epic structural and textural fail. The data suggests the hypothesis is correct!
Woke up with a craving for crepes (at 4:30 am, WTF brain? Gave up and got up at 6) but there were no starchy flours in the house. Made crepes anyway. The resulting mess tastes good but stuck to the pan and didn't bind together (despite adding extra xantham gum), making a frightful mess.
The honey & cinnamon baked figs and apple I foraged on my walk home earlier in the week are lovely though! Also, sunrise was pretty.
It's going to be a lovely, productive day!
