"from Living Without TIP** The thinner you roll out the wedges of dough, the more “layers” your croissants will have and the flakier they will be. However, dough should not be paper-thin."

ingredients

1 cup sorghum flour
¹⁄₂ cup chickpea flour
¹⁄₂ cup almond meal or 1/2 cup additional flour
1 cup rice flour
1 1 cup tapioca starch or 1 cup flour
4 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons yeast
¹⁄₄ cup sugar
1 cup warm milk (milk of choice) or 1 cup water (milk of choice)
2 eggs
8 tablespoons butter or 8 tablespoons margarine, melted
12 tablespoons cold butter or 12 tablespoons margarine, cut into small pieces
¹⁄₂ cup fruit spread, warmed (optional)

directions

Combine first seven ingredients and blend well.
Scoop 1 cup of this flour mixture into a medium mixing bowl. Add yeast and sugar to this cup of flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Combine milk and eggs and add them to this mixture. Add melted butter and beat until smooth. Reserve.
In a separate bowl, cut cold butter into remaining flour mixture until butter pieces are the size of large peas. Pour in liquid batter and stir or beat until moistened throughout. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Remove dough from refrigerator and press into a compact ball on a surface that has been lightly covered with rice flour. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Roll each third into a 12-inch circle with a rolling pin. Cut each circle into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
Separate wedges and roll out each wedge through the length of the piece so that it is about 1/8th-inch thick.* Brush each wedge with gently warmed fruit spread, if desired. Then roll up each wedge toward the point. Shape into a crescent by curving the edges.
Set croissants on an ungreased baking sheet or a sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic and let them rise at room temperature until doubled. (This may take 2 hours if the room is cool.)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush each croissant wedge with egg beaten with cold water. Place croissants in preheated oven and immediately lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.

These are not good. They didn't rise at all and the flavor leaves a lot to be desired.

Over the years I have developed a love of cooking and baking. This is a very good thing since I have intolerances to most foods. If I don't cook it, I often regret eatting it. I also enjoy reading, crafts, and have a borderline serious addiction to Rock Band November 2008 <a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view?t=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank> <img src=http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg alt= /></a> December 2008 <img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/AMpageSticker.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/hg-participation.gif border=0 alt=Hidden-Gems-Event-08 /> <img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/holidaybadge.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket /> January 2009 <img src=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/i-connected-125.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/KBparticipation.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> February 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picbtGrUW-1.jpg alt= /> <a href=http://s424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Food/?action=view?t=CardamomBanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Food/CardamomBanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> March 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pictSF7ey-1.jpg alt= /> <a href=http://s424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Food/?action=view?t=ParsleyBanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i424.photobucket.com/albums/pp330/LadyBlueNose/Food/ParsleyBanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <a href=http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/?action=view?t=parsleybanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a254/Sharon123/parsleybanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <img src=http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a24/ohohkatie/MARCHTAG1.jpg alt= /> April 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg alt= /> May 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/pick0GuXD-1.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z205/jubespage/GGtiedyesmall.gif alt= /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> June 2009 <img src=http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/picwJT0Wr-1.jpg alt= /> December 2009 <a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img style=border: 0px; src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg alt=Photobucket /> </a><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://cb.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=2507267&c=7522114 border=0 alt=Hit Counters /></a>
