Gluten Free Burger Buns

Behold! An awesome gluten free burger bun!

The Loopy Whisk is a gluten free baking blog I have recently discovered and her recipes are not only magical, they are scientifically created, real magic!

First attempt, and this was an amazing bun. I ate the other three before I had a chance to photograph it, but let me assure you, it is soft and spongy, but with a firm crumb, and delicious to boot.

In her recipe, the Loopy Whisk recommends using a dough hook in a stand mixer. Since I don't have that, I did it by hand, and it worked well, enough though it left my hand tired. Be fore-warned!

White Bean and Greens Burger

The longer I cook, the more it takes to impress me, which is probably the reason the posts on this blog have gotten fewer and fewer. With over 800 posts (!!) there is not that much new for me to write about, but I keep trying. So this one was a real shocker for me.

Who would have thought that white beans, garlic and sauteed greens could taste so good?! This burger came together out of a need to use up what was in the fridge, but now I go out of my way to make it. I am still a bit dumbfounded.

Any greens will do - my first go was with steamed radish greens - and whether you make your beans from scratch and add in some cloves of garlic when you cook the beans or use bean from a can, this burger is still great. It might be the chipotle mayo that brings it all together, but whatever the reason, this burger is better than the sum of its parts!
