Profiterole Puffs With Rice Flour

[PCKristi]

I have a friend who is allergic to wheat and corn products. I was able to substitute rice flour instead of regular wheat based flour for the puffs. They turned out great! My husband liked the regular ones better, but my friend was very pleased! She doesn't get a big variety of desserts because of her allergies. Thought this might be helpful for some.

Kristi - Thanks so much for posting that! I have a new recruit (signed her on Wednesday!) and she is allergic to a lot of foods. She wants to be able to modify PC recipes and show how people with allergies to foods can still cook with our cookbooks. If she has any tips, I'll be sure to post them. And this tip is getting passed on to her!

That's great to hear! It's always nice when we can find substitutes for our friends with allergies so they can still enjoy some of the same treats. Have you tried using other alternative flours, like almond or coconut flour? I've heard those can also work well in baking. It's always nice to have options for those with dietary restrictions. Thanks for sharing your success with rice flour!
