gluten-free Flour Recipe?

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.

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!

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.
