Today I tried to make a gluten free version of the Scallion Shortcakes but I did not want to go out and buy the gf flours that I really needed. Instead, I tried to use the few I had in my freezer and the results were SO bad that I threw the entire pan out and kicked myself for wasting food.
The tomato salad was wonderful. And I had already made up the whipped goat cheese. So out came my handy gluten free bread and I made a vintage appetizer: toast points. I can imagine that the shortcakes would have been wonderful, but this adaptation was much more waistline friendly. I may or may not have eaten all of the goat cheese for lunch, leaving a bowl of tomato salad that I later combined with two sliced cucumbers for a refreshing salad served with grilled meat.
