Can I use ordinary flour instead of gluten free flour

Loved this recipe, turned out perfectly and was gone too quick!

Delicious, a new family favorite. Easy to make dairy free as well.

Does this work with gluten flour?

CHELSEA SUGAR: Hi Sylvia, we haven't tested it, but you should be able to swap the flour. Make sure you go by weight, not cup size, when doing this. Let us know how you get on :)

I have just made this it is now chilling out in the fridge awaiting the teens return home, very simple and smells divine.
