      Title: Quick and Easy Muffins (Gluten Free)
 Categories: Muffins, Breads
      Yield: 8 servings

    1/4 c  Sugar
      2 tb Shortening
      2    Eggs
      1 c  GF flour mix (recipe
           -follows) or all rice flour
    1/4 ts Salt
      2 ts Baking powder
    1/2 c  Milk or nondairy liquid
    1/4 ts Vanilla

  Quite awhile ago, someone was looking for Gluten-Free
  recipes. Since I have developed severe allergies to
  grains, it was suggested to me by somneone here on the
  echo that it could be the gluten content that was
  giving me trouble.  So I decided to try the
  gluten-free grains.  The gluten-free grains do not
  interchange readily in baking recipes.  A few days
  ago, I happened upon THE GLUTEN-FREE GOURMET Living
  Well Without Wheat by Bette Hagman at the Half Price
  Book Store.  This book is a real gem and I hope
  whoever was looking for gluten-free recipes sees this
  msg. We have tried a couple of the recipes and they
  really are pretty tasty--- I hadn't eaten a bakery
  item in over 3 months!  Here is the muffin recipe that
  I made on Easter morning and everyone thought they
  were good.

  In the mixing bowl, cream together sugar and
  shortening.  Then beat in the eggs.  Sift together the
  flour, salt, and baking powder and add to the egg
  mixture alternately with the milk.  Don't overbeat.
  Stir in the vanilla. These are best mixed by hand.
  Pour into greased muffin cups. Bake in preheated 350
  degree oven for about 20 minutes.  Makes 8 muffins.

  GF(Gluten-Free flour mix):    2 parts white rice flour
  2/3 part potato starch flour 1/3 part tapioca flour

  NOTE:  I poured half the batter in the muffin tins and
  sprinkled a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the
  batter.  I covered with the remaining batter and
  sprinkled the tops with more cinnamon and sugar.
