THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE ASHLEY

GFCF Yeast Free Tortillas - Vegan Ranch Sour Cream

Vegan Sweet Mashed Potatoes

GFCF Yeast free flour tortillas-

Serves 8

2 cups GFCF all purpose flour

1 ½ t. xanthum gum

1 t. salt

2 t. Truvia or Xylitol*

1 cup warm water

½ cup rice flour

Pan spray

Mix all the dry ingredients together except rice flour. Mix in cup of water. Mix until it is incorporated, you may possibly need about 1 t. more water. Cover working surface with rice flour. Take out 8 lumps, sprinkle with rice flour and start rolling into ball and covering with rice flour. Put back in bowl, covered and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Refrigerating prevents them from sticking to the rolling pin and working surface while rolling out.

Dust working surface with rice flour, roll out tortilla and place on oil sprayed cooking surface-medium high heat, I prefer my pancake griddle flat top. Cook each side for about 1 ½ minutes. A good tortilla will have bubbling and browning. Flip one more time for a bout 30 seconds to get even more volume. Wrap left over dough balls tightly in a large plastic baggie, will keep fresh in refrigerator for 4-6 days.

TIP : Can also be used for GFCF ‘pita bread’ for hummus, pizzas, hot dog buns. Make a little thicker for pita bread and pizza. Even for a cheesy grilled Panini!

Tip : For the freshest tortillas refrigerate or freeze tortilla balls and cook to order! If frozen, defrost very slowly, about 10 seconds on each side, rotate while defrosting.

*Xylitol is an all-natural sweetener found in many fruits and vegetables, including raspberries and plums. It tastes and looks like sugar. Because it is all-natural, it differs substantially from artificially created chemical sweeteners like Splenda®, and aspartame. Can be found on line, New Beginnings and in the Supplement section at Whole Foods

Vegan Sour Cream

Lipton Kosher ranch mix

Mix in tub of vegan sour cream and one packet of Kosher ranch mix.

Tip : Other ranch mix has buttermilk, you can find the Lipton Kosher Ranch dry mix in the Kosher section.

Tip : Great on sandwiches, dipping chips, chicken nuggets and even on a pizza.

Sweet Sweet Mashed Potatoes

3 large sweet potatoes

½ cup vegan sour cream

½ cup vegan cream cheese

½ cup soy butter

1½ T. salt

1 ½ T. Agave syrup*

1 t. cinnamon

Peel and cut up sweet potatoes into somewhat same sized 1” by 1” chunks.  Put in pot, cover with water and 1 t. salt. Boil until tender.  Heat up butter, sour cream and cream cheese for about 50 seconds in microwave. Add all ingredients to sweet potatoes and mash.  With electric mixer mix until smooth. 

Tip : Cut up extra sweet potatoes into cubes and freeze.  Fry up in coconut oil for some yummy sweet potato hash browns!

*Agave syrup is from the Blue Agave Plant. Tastes similar to honey but sweeter so you don’t need as much. Find in the baking aisle at Whole Foods and the Natural aisle at most grocery stores.
