    You can add a teaspoon of a special substance called Xanthan Gum - sold from health food stores, or Guar Gum, which is similar but not as good. Sue Sheppard (GF Guru chef) calls it "magic powder" and adds it to everything just about. It kind of binds things I think? Not sure. But it definitely helps

    Thanks ladies,

    The Orgran is the one i have and in quite a few of the recipes i've read they have mentioned that xantham gum. I might try and get some of that also. It's not a necessity here but just trying to lessen our wheat/gluten intake a bit.
