Wicklewood's Trifle Sponges (Gluten Free)
"These little sponges are great as the base for any gluten free trifle but can easily be served as an accompaniment to a light mousse or a sorbet.
I use my own recipe for gluten free flour mix #438139, but any light gf blend will work and at a pinch just rice flour can be used."

the taste is pleasant but that is the only positive I have.<br/>You cannot pipe this as the batter is so runny, the sponge fingers come out more like sponge biscuits, very flat. They stick to the non stick baking paper and require a longer cooking time than the recipee suggests<br/>I found increasing the flour from 2 to 6 oz gives a batter that can be piped. spray the greaseproof paper with spray oil and allow 8 -10 mins. It is still a flat sponge but more useable.<br/>Next time I will use a couple of mini cake pans and then slice into fingers

<p><span><span><strong>...and so the wench,the maid and the village idiot lived happily ever after.</strong></span></span></p>
<p>I have always loved my food (not just my own but anyone's who offered it to me),,, then five years ago I was diagnosed with ceoliacs disease and all notion of ever having my favorite foods again went out the window. However, nessesity really is the mother of invention; instead of feeling sorry for myself and my dietry limitations,,,I got creative. I am in the process of starting my own business, which initially was exclusively targeted at ceoliacs, but thanks to my new husband and his diabetes, we hope to create food that is not only gluten free and sugar free or low carb, but will also cater for those amongst us with a whatever attitude to healthy food...Yes I do have one left at home,,bring on the empty nest.</p>
