Instead of the coconut flour can I use all-purpose gluten-free flour?
Sure! That works I just happened to have some cocounut flour but you could use any flour, gluten-free or regular to make these.
What type Coconut flour is your favorite or favorites to use? What type of shortening, the Spectrum? Thanks
I usually use the Bob’s Red Mill kind. But I’m not Gluten Free myself so I haven’t explored a bunch of different brands.
I am allergic to eggs. Has anyone tried this recipe with flax meal in water as a substitute?
