Apple Cider Vinegar
Question - I have been trying the recipes in Roben Ryberg's cookbook You Won't Believe It's Not Gluten Free. Most of the baking recipes with Rice Flour also use Apple Cider Vinegar - I have been finding that they come out too fluffy (is that a baking term???) Any tips on using this vinegar?
Thanks,
Janet

Too fluffy? I would be overjoyed if my problem with gluten free baking was my products being too fluffy! Unless maybe you mean crumbly? That could be a problem. However, perhaps the apple cider vinegar is used for creating great rise in the muffin. The acid probably in combination with baking soda should create good rise. Perhaps if the muffins were too fluffy the recipe used too much baking soda?

I know that in Bette Hagman's cookbooks her recipes say to use either Dough Enhancer or Apple cider Vinegar. I believe the vinegar acts in a similar way as the Dough Enhancer. It is used as a stabilizer. Try your recipe without the vinegar and see if you like it better. Maybe that is the answer. If after eliminating the vinegar you still don't like the results then it must be just the way the recipe is supposed to be or maybe you whipped it too much and added too much air into the batter. It's really hard to say. Bette Hagman suggests using between 1/2 and 1 teaspoon of vinegar per recipe from my experience. If you are using more than that try cutting it back.
Good Luck!

Thanks ladies - I think it maybe a combination of both your comments - too much baking soda, apple cider vinegar and whipping- I will try them again tomorrow!

Would you send or show me where I could find the recipe? It might be kind of fun to test different things out and share results.

Roben Ryberg's cookbook You Won't Believe It's Not Gluten Free - it is her Sweet Muffins recipe. Tried it again today and they came out so much better!
