Gluten Free Flour Recipe #2

I like this flour blend because of the added nutrients that the coconut or almond flours provide.  I find it is particularly good in baked goods.  (But the drawback is that it is a more expensive flour to make)  

3 C. White or Brown Rice Flour (Can be a combination or all white or brown)

3 C. Sorghum Flour
3 C. Tapioca Flour
3 C. Potato Starch (not Potato Flour)
3 C. Almond OR Coconut Flour

(in most recipes unless it already has xanthum gum or guar gum in them you will need to add 1/2 tsp per cup of flour in the recipe unless the recipe already calls for xanthum gum or guar gum.
_____________________________________________________________________
Tips:
  • It can be substituted Cup for Cup for regular flour.  ***** You will need to add 1/2 tsp of Xanthum gum or Guar Gum for every cup of Flour ****** (I have my flour container labeled with the amount of xanthum gum to add.
  • Store in an airtight container in your fridge or freezer, for later use.
  • This is a good all purpose flour.  
  • I usually use Coconut Flour because it is incredibly healthy and it is usually less expensive than almond flour.  
  • The best place to buy you flour's is in the bulk section of vitamin cottage.  Many of them are in the freezer section.
  • Xanthum and Guar Gum are also best purchased at vitamin cottage in the bulk section.
  • Remember to use Guar Gum If you have a corn allergy
  • Try this flour in some your favorite recipes
