  • 3/4 cup sweet rice flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 3/4 teaspoon guar gum

  • 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup hot water

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9-inch pan. Place foil in pan, overlapping foil on 2 sides of pan. Butter the foil.
  • 2
    In large bowl, sift flours. Add xanthan and guar gums, baking soda, baking powder and spices. Mix together with whisk; set aside.
  • 3
    In large bowl, beat butter and sugars with electric mixer on medium speed about 5 minutes or until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time until well blended. Beat in molasses and buttermilk (dough may look curdled).
  • 4
    Add flour mixture to wet ingredients about 1/2 cup at a time, making make sure it is incorporated before adding more. Add hot water; mix 1 minute.
  • 5
    Spread batter in pan. Bake about 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan until just slightly warm. Remove gingerbread on foil; slide onto board for cutting.

  • Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is gluten free. Products and ingredient sources can change.
  • Puffed high, light, but still spongy-soft like crackers soaked in milk, this gingerbread is the best I've ever made.
  • If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use your electric mixer, just stir by hand the last two additions of flour.
