Author Notes
I am supposed to be gluten free, sometimes I'm naughty. But when I discover a new gluten free flour, especially one as special as this my heart does a leap of joy! Gluten free is not tasteless or boring, gluten free is just as good and if not better as these will prove.
Chestnut flour is expensive and can be hard to find, but boy is it worth it. It gives a wonderfully creamy texture and nutty sweetness thats takes you straight to Christmas.
I think these are just about my most favourite biscuits ever...ever. —Chloe Timms
