Gluten Free flour blend

[Catbird]

This is an excellent basic GF flour mix. It can be substituted one for one for any recipe using wheat flour.

Basic Gluten-Free Flour Mix

Combine:

2 cups rice flour* [or 1 cup rice and 1 cup sorghum flour]
2/3 cup cornstarch [or potato starch]
1/3 cup tapioca starch [*or almond meal or buckwheat or quinoa flour for more protein]
1 teaspoon xanthan gum [or guar gum]

*Notes:

Brown rice flour is a whole grain and has more nutrition. It works well in recipes if balanced with lighter flours. You could try: 1 cup brown rice flour and 1 cup white rice flour.

Subbing denser flours such as almond, buckwheat, coconut or quinoa will result in a heavier, denser product. Start with a third of a cup. Experiment and find the formula and texture you like best.
