Pamela's Ap Flour Questions

I got some of Pamela's Artisan Flour for Christmas baking this year. So I wanted to know, with this recipe for example, do I use this flour for all the flours and starches this calls for?

 

Sugar Cookie Recipe

1/3 cup margarine   1/3 cup shortening

1 cup rice flour   1 tsp xanthan gum

1 tsp unflavored gelatin  1 egg

3/4 cup sugar   1 tbs. milk

2 tsp. baking powder    1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 tsp. salt   1/2 tapioca starch

1/2 cup potato starch

 

I know it will vary from recipe to recipe but I can pretty much just replace the flours a recipe calls for with Pamela's right? Since it says it's cup for cup. (unless I'm getting this wrong)

 

Is there anything else I need to know before using this flour? I'm mostly just making cookies and muffins this month. 

 

Thanks!

Yep just sub in the flour blend for all the flours/starches in the recipe.  Sometimes texture can be weird, but with things like cookies and brownies it is easier to get the texture right than with like bread and cake.  If your flour blend has a gum in it (xantham gum/guar gum) omit that, too.  If it does not have that in it, it still needs to be added.  I have taken regular wheat flour recipes and subbed in flour blends and all my cookies have turned out great. 

 

Good luck and enjoy your cookies! :D

I actually have never made my own gluten-free bread.  It is just me so it is more worth it to buy the frozen loaves.  I know pamelas website has a lof ot recipes with their products so I would check there and see what they have.  I also have only made one cake in the year since my celiac diagnosis, I used a mix. LOL.

It is very easy to make gluten-free cookies, brownies, muffins, cakes, etc. using substitutions (often 1:1) BUT for bread it is an entirely different story.  I make my own bread, cinnamon rolls, English muffins, etc. but also have a freezer with at least 20 kinds of flours/starches.  If you want to skip the icky bread recipes, head straight to Simona's Challah bread recipe on this site.  It is one of my favourite gluten-free breads of all time.  Excellent flavor, crumb, texture, etc.

 

BTW, if you have butter, I would use that instead in your sugar cookie recipe.  Butter just tastes better!  :)

Pamela's gluten-free AP flour is terrific for cakes and cookies! I was a big baker prior to my diagnosis and I haven't had the courage (or energy) to take on bread.  I rarely eat bread now and just buy commercial gluten-free bread for my husband.  

 

Good luck on your baking and skip the shortening too (not good for you) and use all butter in your recipe!  Yum!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
