I adore Viennese Whirls, but we never buy them because of the gluten, but with my mouth watering after last week's Bake Off, I just had to try to have a go with gluten-free flour.
Here is Mary Berry's recipe for your reference.
I just substituted Doves Farm Gluten-free Plain Flour, and Stork soft margarine for cakes because I'm trying to cut down on cholesterol.
I cheated too with the jam, using delicious Bonne Maman Raspberry Conserve!
Although, I did draw out 24 circles on baking paper, I ended up with only 12 halves, equalling 6 cakes, but perhaps that's because I didn't use butter.
The other thing is that the recipe says pipe out swirled rounds, not rosettes. I tried to do that, but ended up with a bobble on the top which meant that the bases wobbled a bit and the jam oozed out a little too. I'll try and finish them off more smoothly next time!
Never mind, I think they look scrumptious!
Welcome to my blog! With family and friends needing gluten-free food, I've learnt to adapt my recipes so everyone can enjoy the same meals, puddings and cakes. I hope that you enjoy them too.

Gluten-free Lemon Drizzle Cake
It's quite a while since I've posted any new gluten-free recipes on my blog, although I continue to adapt recipes for my family; in fact, I hardly use any ordinary flour at all these days.
This week, after watching Bake Off, I just had to to try a Gluten-free Lemon Drizzle Cake, adapting Mary Berry's recipe from her Absolute Favourites cookery book and using Doves Farm Gluten-free Self-raising flour.
I also halved the ingredients to make a smaller cake, and added an extra tablespoon of milk to keep it moist.
I'm very pleased with my cake and can't wait for tea time!
