Another project that has taught me many things about vegan and gluten-free baking: Burger Buns
As it happened, my most favourite gluten-free flour, teff, was out of stock at my local bulk food supplier. So I (reluctantly) started to try things with buckwheat flour instead. Buckwheat has different characteristics and behaves differently than teff flour.

But when I tried my burger bun recipe with buckwheat flour, it turned out GREAT 🙂
I’ve used mini-pie tins which hold and shape the buns nicely.
The last time I had these buns I toasted them lightly before adding burger and veges – that was very good 😉
