1

Prepare the gluten-free buns

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine 2 cups of gluten-free flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of melted butter or oil, and 1 cup of milk or dairy-free alternative. Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a sticky dough forms. Use wet hands to shape the dough into 4 equal-sized buns and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Prepare the lobster filling

While the buns are baking, it's time to make the mouthwatering lobster filling. Start by cooking 1 pound (450g) of lobster tails in boiling water for about 8 minutes until the shells turn bright red. Carefully remove the lobster meat from the shells and chop it into bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped lobster meat with 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Assemble your gluten-free Lobster Roll

Once the buns have cooled slightly, slice them open horizontally without cutting all the way through. Spread a generous amount of butter or mayo on the insides of the buns. Fill each bun with a generous portion of the lobster mixture, allowing it to spill over the sides. For an extra pop of flavor, you can also drizzle some melted butter on top. Serve your gluten-free Lobster Rolls with a side of crispy potato chips or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
