Gluten-Free, Corn-Free, Soy-Free Flour Mix

Things I think may be true....but I'm no expert
  • I keep a mix made up and in the refrigerator for faster baking
  • Non-wheat flours and starches have a different absorbency than traditional flours. I like to play with different combinations. I have had success mixing as long as your flour to starch ratio is the same as the mix or recipe you are changing.
  • I assume (though I know it is wrong) that soy and or corn flours perform in a fashion more similar to wheat but alas I am allergic so I do not know.
  • Carol Fenster has books with excellent info for the allergy newbie

Flour Blend 1

  1. 3 cups rice flour
  2. 3 cups tapioca flour (or arrowroot starch)
  3. 2 cups sorghum flour
  4. 1 cup millet

Flour Blend 2

  1. 1 1/2 cup sorghum flour
  2. 1 1/2 rice flour
  3. 1 1/2 potato starch
  4. 1 1/2 arrowroot starch
  5. 1 cup tapioca flour
  6. 1 cup millet
  7. 1 cup teff
  • I have also substituted amaranth, sweet rice flour, quinoa flour with excellent results
