Our Favorite Gluten Free Flour Mix

This is our favorite flour mix that we use for everything from chicken nuggets to chocolate chip cookies. 

I will double or even triple the recipe and store it in an airtight container in the freezer.

• 1 cup brown rice flour
• 1 1/4 cup white rice flour
• 1/4 cup potato starch
• 2/3 cup tapioca starch
• 3/4 cup sweet rice flour
• 1/3 cup cornstarch

This recipe does not contain xanthan gum which is the ingredient in gluten free flour mixes that basically replaces the gluten and holds the recipe together.  Therefore, if you are using this flour in one of your baking recipes, you will want to add some xanthan gum.   

Karen Robertson recommends the following substitution in her book, Cooking Gluten-Free:

Bread:   1 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour mix

Cakes:  1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum per cup of flour mix

Cookies:  1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour mix

In the recipes on my web site, I have already suggested the amount of xanthan gum that you use.
