Hi Arne,
No problem. The below recipe came from Gourmet magazine.
Phaed
Lemon Thins
Amount Measure Ingredient
1/2 cup vegetable shortening at room temp
2 tablespoons unsalted butter -- softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
confectioners' sugar for dusting
In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together the shortening, butter, and
sugar, add the vanilla, lemon extract, zest, and juice, beating, and beat
the mixture until it is smooth. Into the bowl sift together the flour,
baking powder, baking soda, and salt and blend the dough well. On a piece of
wax paper form the dough into a log 1-1/2 inches in diameter, using the
paper as a guide.
Chill the log, wrapped in wax paper and foil, for 2 hours. The dough may be
made up to 3 months in advance and kept wrapped well and frozen. Cut the log
into 1/8-inch slices with a sharp knife and bake the cookies 2 inches apart
on ungreased baking sheets in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 8 to
10 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. Transfer the cookies
immediately with a metal spatula to racks, let them cool, and sift the
confectioners' sugar lightly over the lemon thins.
Makes about 50 cookies.

How do you make regular pancake syrup?

Hello Sue,
I can sympathize, being prone to migraines myself. Chocolate is a trigger
food for me, too, but changes in the weather seem to be the worst trigger.
I could not find anything at all about "flax tortillas". "Gluten free
tortillas" did not bring any results that were also corn free.
Sue, there are lots of gluten free recipe sites on the internet. I can't
spare the time that would be involved searching through
all of the recipes to find those that would be corn free as well. So.... I'm
sending you links (below) to some of the gluten-free recipe sites that I
found so that you can go through the recipes. There are hundreds of recipes
on these sites, as well as message boards where gluten-intolerant people
exchange recipes and information. Be persistent in going through them to
find the ones that are free of the other allergens that bother you.
If I may offer a couple of suggestions from past research on gluten
intolerance:
1) Check into buckwheat flour. In spite of the name, many wheat-intolerant
people are not bothered by buckwheat flour.
2) Rice flour is very versatile.Something like wontons or egg roll wrappers
made with rice flour might be a good substitute for tortillas.

I am looking for a recipe to make the spice blend Fenugreek so that
I can make it at home.
Hi Hoffys,
Fenugreek isn't a spice mixture, it's a single spice or herb, native to Asia and southern Europe.
You can buy the seeds whole and grind them in a coffee mill or a pepper mill, or you can buy them
already ground. If your grocer's spice section doesn't have them, try an Indian or Middle Eastern
grocer or a health food store.
