Would love to make this but need a gluten free optio. For the SR Flour. Any suggestions?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Rita, I haven’t tried making this gluten free before, but you could try using a gluten free sr flour as a straight swap. I’m going to try it with tapioca flour this week to see how it goes too 🙂

I’ve used Woolworths own brand gf/sr flour & also White Wings gf/sr flour & both work really well. With gf the flour often soaks up more moisture, so the liquid from the zucchini isn’t a problem.
