Recipe Notes

  • *GF Flour: Choose a blend with xanthan gum in it already, like Cup4Cup or Bob Red Mill's 1-to-1. If your blend doesn't already contain xanthan gum, add 1 teaspoon to your flour.
  • **To make this recipe dairy-free, swap coconut oil for butter.
  • ***Swap for frozen if you can't find great fresh ones.
