All Purpose Gluten Free Flour

Gluten free was never in our plan, but food allergies brought this adventure front and center.  I use the following recipe as a substitute for everything.  The single best investment we made when 2 of my children needed to go gluten free was a flour mill.  My Blendtec Kitchen Mill has been going strong for about 8 years with no issues.  I grind corn, garbanzo beans, tapioca & rice.  It saves money to grind and make my own mix as opposed to buying everything ready made but, when I ran out of flour & was super short on time I purchased what I was missing.

This recipe calls for rice, garbanzo, tapioca, & potato flours & cornstarch.

For rice flour I buy the cheap stuff from Walmart and it works great.  

 




A 3 lb. bag of rice produces about 9 cups of flour.  I only need 3 for this recipe so the excess is placed in an air tight container & kept in the freezer.

 

 



RECIPE: 

3 cups rice flour

3 cups garbanzo flour

3 cups tapioca flour

3 cups corn starch

3 TBS potato flour

 

Add all ingredients and MIX WELL!

 

I store my mix in a large glass jar with a tight sealing lid.

 

 

I keep xanthan gum in a separate container and use as needed per recipe.

**add 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum per cup of flour for cookies, cakes, breads, & pancakes**
