Gluten free biscuit experiments

More and more people are finding out that they have allergies to certain foods. We need to learn to find or adapt recipes to suit different people. We altered a basic biscuit recipe and used different flours that did not contain gluten. There were so many to choose from but some were very expensive and hard to find. It is not as easy as just straight swapping of ingredients as we learnt.
For example: *the chickpea flour mixture was very wet so we had to add extra flour
*the coconut flour mixture was very dry even though we added half the amount of flour and double the margarine!
*the arrowroot flour seemed fine prior to cooking it was definitely not ok after baking!!

Different flours made the biscuits taste different and gave them a different texture. Here is a video of us making them and some really quick feedback.
