Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. One tbsp of honey has a glycemic index (GI) of 55. Brown rice is a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity.

Ingredients

3.46 ounces white rice flour (about 2/3 cup)
3 ounces brown rice flour (about 2/3 cup)
1.4 ounces tapioca flour (about 1/3 cup)
1.6 ounces cornstarch (about 1/3 cup)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and softened
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
3 large eggs

Place flours, cornstarch, sugar, and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a food processor; process 2 times or until blended. Add butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and eggs; process until dough forms a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill 1 hour.
