    if u can have some sugar why not try that half sugar or the brown splenda thats half and half too

    cant say as i found it a problem with the sweetener when i do but i dont really like it overly sweet

    good luck

    I'll have a look for the half and half today and also the granulated fruit sugar craftlady mentioned - that would be perfect!

  • The oats will probably be fine for you Stoney G but just thought that I'd point out that my son aged 9 has Coeliac disease and we have been told by the dietician that children with Coeliacs shouldn't even have oats.

    Thanks zippychick, that'll keep me going for ages!!

    Long tall sally - I think I'm ok with oats, I eat them every day and don't seem to have any problems with them - I'm not coeliac so should be fine :)

    Hi

    I'm making gluten free biscuits and they turn out really dry and crackly. I want them to be soft. What can I use that is gluten-free and will soften them up nicely?

    Thank in advance :beer:

    Bye

    You could try adding some liquid glucose. It's an humectant and will attract moisture to whatever it's in - it's what a lot of 'shop' cakes use to keep them moist.
