I know most of you are super mom's like me and occasionally you get caught without a Gluten free bun to be found. It's happened to me on the way to several ward cookouts, family BBQ's and the odd camping trip. Now there is hope ( as long as you have a this mix and a microwave).
Food Tek a company I had never heard of until I found this mix last week at Good Earth in Riverdale has saved the day!!
It's called Fast & Fresh.. from your microwave Wheat-Free Gluten- free Hamburger Bun mix.
1 bag includes 4 packs of mix(enough to make 4 sets of buns) measuring cup and mold trays. Being always the skeptic and Gluten Free Rachel Ray wanna be I thought "is it even possible to make a bun in the microwave"? OH BABY IT IS!!!! so here are the directions simplified by me:
1 open the mix pouch and put it into a cereal size bowl
2. add 4tbls + 2 tsp. of water to the mix
3. stir it with a spoon until the lumps are gone ( 10 seconds maybe)
4 pour half the batter into each mold
5. put it in the microwave for a minute and a half on high
6.turn the mold over onto a plate and add your burger or chicken pattie.
Now they aren't brown on top. they're all white kinda like an angel food cake. But, my little boy loved it and said they had a little bit of a sweet taste. I tried it and thought it kinda felt like an angel food cake in texture wasn't horrible and for something that came out of a microwave that is GF and my kid will eat. I'll take it!! It does contain milk though because they use dry milk powder but they are egg free. I think you could possibly use them for strawberry shortcakes and breakfast sandwiches. Just an idea.

They also make these mixes in other things than just hamburger buns. They make them in chocolate and white cake mixes, corn bread, brownies, waffles. All of these are about an individual sized portion and they all use the microwave, water and about 45 seconds. My 5 year old daughter loves them. The cakes are great because then she can take some of her own cake to birthday parties and the brownies for family gatherings where I know desserts will be served. They sell all the different varieties at a store called Against the Grain in Taylorsville. It is an all GF food store. Check it out it's where I do all my shopping for my daughters GF specialty food needs.
