Sharon asks:

"I am trying to make bisicut with millet flour. Right now I can't have yeast, sugar and milk. Do you have a good recipe, one where it doesn't crumble. "

Sharon,

I might have a recipe that will work for you. It is attached (download recipe). It has buttermilk in it though. You could try substituting other milks and omitting the baking soda. I haven't tried that, the milk subs are thinner in consistency though. I might effect the dough.

I've recently learned about amazake (also spelled amasake). It is a fermented rice beverage, thick like buttermilk. And it is sweet from the fermentation, no sugar is added. This might go very well with the strong flavor of millet flour. Please let me know if you try any milk substitutes and how you like it. You would be doing all gf folks a service.

Thanks for the question,
Linda Simon
