Gluten-free Cream Puff Pastries

adapted from Chocolate Profiteroles in Desserts: Mouthwatering Recipes for Delectable Dishes (1997)

Cream Puff Pastry

1/2 cup quinoa flour

1/4 cup white rice flour

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

pinch of cardamom

6 tablespoons coconut oil

3 eggs

3/4 cup water

1. preheat over to 350F
2. Sift dry ingredients together
3. In medium saucepan, bring coconut oil and water to a boil. Remove from heat and add in dry ingredients. Beat for 1 minutes until mixture starts to pull away from the pan. Put over low heat and cook mixture together for 2 minutes, beating constantly. Remove from heat.

4. Beat one egg in a small bowl and set aside. Add remaining eggs, one at a time, to the mixture. Mix well then add beaten egg gradually. Dough should be smooth and shiny and fall by spoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet.

5. Drop by tablespoons (x12) on a sprayed cookie sheet, well spaced. Bake 25-30 minutes until pastry has risen and browned.

6. Turn off oven and let puff. Cool with door cracked. [Oops! I opened the door wide and they cooled too fast ... and collapsed - boo]

To serve, slice open and fill with fruit, fruit sauces, pudding, cream, ice cream ... whatever suits your diet.

COMMENT: The original recipe called for nutmeg and I used it. Yikes! My throat got a bit tight - that's where I have a nice patch of candida fungus and it LOVED the nutmeg. I had no idea candida would like it so much as I just have avoided it since I learned it causes liver cancer. Anyway, this was more or less an experiment. My brother challenged me to make him some gluten-free cream puffs ... so after flubbing the first batch, this one turned out VERY MUCH LIKE CREAM PUFF PASTRIES. My bro was impressed!!! The future doesn't see me making many of these for me because of the white rice flour which I am avoiding till I nix this candida stuff, but otherwise, they're very candida friendly :)

Here's how my bro ate them .... other than snatching them up and just snarfing them down. These were topped with a chocolate sauce and a cream sauce, which he was pretty happy about too. Here are those recipes.

Support Your Second Brain: The GI Tract

Did you know you have two brains? Our gastrointestinal tract has been dubbed our "second brain" because it contains 500 million nerve cells! Find out how to keep our amazing gut healthy. Modern gastroenterology suggests our “gut instinct” stems from the 500 million neurons contained in the gastrointestinal tract, in the network of nerves contained in the walls of everything from our esophagus to our stomach and intestines. That network—the enteric nervous system (ENS)—is what’s known as the “second brain.” And for good reason. The ENS is the body’s second-largest concentration of nerves behind only the brain (and ahead of the spinal column). In fact, there are 30 to 40 percent as many neurotransmitters identified in the gastrointestinal tract as there are in the brain. The Body’s Prime Source of Serotonin The ENS controls digestion, including everything from the biomechanics of the stomach and intestines to the alkalinity that allows digestive enzymes to

Care for Your Liver

Someone sent me these slides via email and I thought the message they contain is very centered on good health, especially for people like me who have systemic candida which can tax the liver with all the fungus in the body and the constant fight to purify the blood and clean out the fungus. Whoever put these slides together, kudos to you and thank you! (unfortunately didn't receive slide #5)
