Gluten Free Self Raising Flour in Christmas cake??

[CourtOfProtection]

Will this go all kinds of Pete Tong if I make my Christmas cake with the only flour I have left in the cupboard?

I know gluten free self raising flour isn't traditional Delia & Mary, but I could get away with it right?!!........ [santa]

Absolutely fine. I have coeliac disease so don't use anything else, and I make my own Christmas cake. It absorbs more liquid than regular flour, so add a bit extra milk/water/brandy.

Add lots of brandy or if you dont drink alcohol use fresh orange juice

Ah brill! Cheers @Wonkybanana. I have a million health & gut issues so sadly unlikely to eat it myself, but everyone will be delighted with your add more brandy advice

Thanks for your reply. Hope your bananas aren't too wonky & you have a lovely Christmas!

Ace. Another add more brandy! Thank you @37lowlandLucky. My guests will be sozzzled. Have a lovely Christmas

I’m GF and commented to someone on how amazing her GF cakes were, she said she adds extra milk (I think it was 2 tablespoons) to each recipe and that’s what stops them being too dry - so follow the tip as above and you’ll be fine.

Fascinating. I'll remember that tip too @43FaithInfinity. Thank you. Have needed to make a million () adjustments to my diet & cooking so I bet this will come in handy.

I know it's a bit early, but Merry Christmas!
