gluten-free Flour Recipe?

[lonewolf]

Does anyone know if you can mix up a batch of gluten-free flour, that will actually work in recipes, with sorghum flour, potato starch and tapioca starch? I might have a 1/2 C of sweet rice flour somewhere too. I'm out of my flour mix, no time to go to the store, and need to bake something in a little while. I usually use the Bette Hagman recipe to mix up my own. My son needs a treat for after his baseball game and I have nothing on hand and no chance to run anywhere to grab anything.

this might work for you.

carol's gluten-free sorghum flour blend

1 1/2 cups sorghum flour

1 1/2 cups potato starch or cornstarch

1 cup tapioca flour (starch)

1/2 cup corn flour or almond flour or bean flour or chestnut flour

since you have the first 3 ingredients----maybe you could use the sweet rice flour for the las 1/2 cup.

Thanks!

I modified that mix b/c we didn't like the corn flour so I have increased the tapioca flour and it seems to work.

Thanks - does it work for cookies? I found something to tide him over, but still need to bake tonight, if possible.

Yes! They worked w/those chocolate chip cookies I made a few weeks ago.

I used the flour mix and subbed sweet rice flour for the corn flour. My son wanted donuts, so I made the donut recipe from Betty Crocker and baked, rather than deep fried them. They spread all over the cookie sheet, but still tasted pretty good. A good sprinkling of cinnamon sugar while still hot helped.

Bummer! I hate when it spreads all over the cookie sheet!!

Liz ~ did you ever try the sorghum bread recipe for him? I've been making it once/week for Carleigh. Today I made it as muffins w/the leftovers in a mini-loaf pan.

I haven't found a powdered milk replacement yet, so I haven't tried it. Caleb LOVES his sandwiches on brown rice tortillas, corn tortillas and even romaine lettuce leaves, so I haven't worried about bread much lately. He'll eat French toast (he can have eggs, lucky kid) made with Ener-G brown rice bread, so I have it under control for him for now. I'm glad he's finally adapting and not fighting it so much. I do want to try it for me though - I'd like a nice hot slice of bread, even muffin-shaped right about now.

Bummer ~ can he have potato? Vance's Dari-Free is what I use. It's great that he's not fighting it as much. Carleigh isn't fighting it as much either... she loves to eat her sandwiches on romaine lettuce too. But she does like this bread too. I wonder how it would come out w/o the milk powder?

I'm going to try your Apple Jack cookies this week

He could have the Vance's, but I'm tired of having to order all this stuff. It would be so nice just to be able to go to the store and buy what we need without having to pay shipping, etc. I might try the recipe without the milk powder and see what happens. But today I have a killer headache (3rd day in a row), and I'm not up to anything besides survival. Good thing it's my day off!
