  1. Could I use regular all purpose flour? I have no need for gluten free. Thank you.

    1. Sure... but use two cups of regular wheat flour instead of the 1 3/4 gluten free flour

  2. Your Gluten Free all purpose flour is a great resource for those with intolerance to wheat, Julie. My niece is planning to make these after her new oven is installed!

    1. I have never frozen them - but they would freeze well, I'm sure, however, gluten-free baked products do not have as long a freezer life as wheat flour products do.

  5. Is the egg replacement necessary?

    1. You can omit the egg replacement. It just adds a little lift power.
