Man, I have got to get some ramekins! This is a perfect use for all those bags of Scharffenberger we got at BlogHerFood.
Would you have any idea what kind of flour to use in this for making it Gluten-Free?
Hi Cheryl, a gluten-free friend of mine recently recommended Authentic Foods Multi Blend Flour as it already has the xanthan gum included. Let me know if you try it and how it works for you.
I have made a gluten-free version. You can see my recipe and modification on my blog. I just used a boxed gluten free baking flour. Instead of xanthan gum, I used guar gum.
Ya know, I was taking a peek at a really decadent chocolate pudding recipe today. This looks just as good!
