This is a great recipe. It tastes just like the wheat containing sponge shortcakes that you can buy at the grocery store, during strawberry season. This recipe uses only 6 ingredients and you can find them all right in your kitchen.It is a great recipe for people that are trying to find an easy dessert to make for a Celiac family member or friend, coming over for dinner. It's quick, its easy, and its really really yummy!!! Try it, you won't be dissapointed!!!!!

    Tis recipe was GREAT!!!! I am so excited to have it! I tried these last night, and they were absolutely WONDERFUL! The kids and I just ate them warm out of the oven with butter. We couldn't get enough! The flavor reminded me of the vanilla pound cake that I used to make in my pre-gluten-free days, and the texture was like a cross between a sponge cake and angel food. If you served these to anyone, they would NEVER know that they were gluten free! I did not find them to be too "eggy" like some of the others. I thought that they were just heavenly! Perfect, yummy recipe! I will be making these again and again! Thanks GFGirl!!!!

    These were extremely good- I was suprised! My daughter's friend is coming over today- she has wheat alergies- so I immediately knew where to look for a recipe for her and now us! I had a bit of a scare when I added the eggs/vanilla. I think I should have added 1 at a time, beating between- but of course I dumped them in all at once. The mixture looked very frothy with some butter mixture floating around and not incorporating. Adding the cornstarch seemed to sort it all out The texture was spongy but firm. It took a few extra minutes in the oven to complete. I put half the mixture into 6 tins and added 1Tbs of coco powder to the rest for a chocolate taste. Turned out good too! Thank you so much for helping me to make our friends with different dietary needs feel welcome in our home!

    My Dad, who has Celiac, loved them. (My 4 year old daughter did too. She wanted to eat all Papa's muffins!) My Dad used them as shortcakes and as muffins. He heated them in the microwave with butter and jelly for a snack.
