Know someone on a Gluten Free Diet?

For some people on a gluten free diet, scones are a distant memory...now anyone can enjoy gluten free scones, great breads, pizza and all their favorite foods again!

Most people don’t take a second thought about being able to enjoy traditional foods, but to those who are gluten intolerant, or celiac, the scone is often only a wistful memory!

No longer, now with Astoria Mills Enriched Gluten Free Mixes you can enjoy the lightest most delicious tea biscuits and scones, as well as delicious gluten free breads again.

“I learned to make biscuits from my North Carolina grandmother,” says Trina, “she used to make them every morning while still at the farm in Oklahoma. In those days according to my mother, bought breads were rare, so it was an easy thing for grandmother to just whip up some biscuits. According to my grandmother, you can tell a good biscuit if it has a natural crack in the middle where you break it apart. No polite southerner would dare cut a biscuit with a knife; it would be the height of insult to the cook. So when I finally got my gluten free biscuit or ‘scone’ recipe perfected and it passed that and the taste test, I was absolutely thrilled! ”

Pizza, our favorite comfort food can be one of the foods missed by people on a gluten free diet. Here is a photograph of a pizza made at Pizza Pino's in Ajax Ontario, using Astoria Mills pizza dough.

Astoria Mills took part in a gluten free challenge and taste test. People who ordinarily can eat wheat were invited to taste regular wheat pizza and Astoria Mills Gluten Free pizza with identical toppings in a blind taste test to see if they could tell which one was gluten free!

People loved Astoria Mills pizza and some preferred the lighter crust!

Trina is often asked, why mixes? "Well people are busy these days, and gluten free baking can be a hit and miss thing. Sometimes little things make a big difference. I wanted to give people great recipes, and the means to make them easily. People wouldn't believe the cupboards full of gf ingredients that some people would have to have to create good foods or great tasting breads. I've created a cooking and baking system so people on a gluten free diet can make all their favorite foods again with only a few mixes."

Seems like everyone knows someone who has to have a gluten free diet these days, if you do, ask them to visit Astoria Mills website for more information. They will be happy you did!

"Many people have prodded me to create mixes so their gluten free lives would be easier, many have encouraged me along the way, and I would like to thank everyone." -Trina
