  • Tasty! Used gluten free corn

    Submitted by MissyPerth on 19. April 2015 - 19:11.

    Tasty! Used gluten free corn flour instead of rice flour as that was all I had. I think I could taste the difference in the texture but it was still nice. 

    Also, I had already juiced mandarins for a different recipe, so I used half and half- juice & pulp- instead of the boiled mandarins, and just added them raw.  It all worked beautifully.
