gluten free bread pudding

Okay, I manned up and MEASURED things, for once, just to see what would happen.

Gluten-free Bread Pudding

flours:

-1/2 c garfava

-1/2 c teff

-1/4 c brown rice

-1/4 c sweet rice

-1/8 c potato starch

-pinch of xanthan gum

-pinch of salt

-1/2 c sugar

-1 banana

-1 egg

-1 c buttermilk

-1/2 applesauce

-1/4 c olive oil

-1 T vanilla extract

-4 fresh figs, cut into pieces

-chopped ginger

-walnuts

-juice from 1 meyer lemon

-spoonful of honey

1. mix the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until well combined (you can't overmix because there is no gluten, so go stir crazy).

2. add chopped figs and ginger

3. pour into a loaf pan and top with walnuts

4. bake at 325 for--get this--80 minutes!

5. while baking, mix lemon juice with honey until honey dissolves (i used some hot water too). pour the lemon mix on top of the cake about 40 minutes in. if there is more, do it again 20 minutes later.

6. let cool completely before removing from pan and serving

Mmmmm, gooey fig cake. Serve with unsweetened yogurt, it's delicious.
