Tom Sawyer Flour

[nursestherapies]

I am new to this website but have been gluten-free for 6 years. Not up on the latest information, I bake my own breads but haven't really found satisfaction with my recipe results.

I saw the ad here for Tom Sawyer Flour- that it can be used for any recipe that calls for wheat flour. Does anyone have experience with it?

Thanks, Karen

nope, never even heard of it. I use Orgrans All purpose flour, and they have a self rising flour as well, I use this just as I would have used wheat flour in a recipe.

Thanks for responding. Where do you get Orgrans? Karen

I think the Tom Saywer flour is new, because I ran accrross an article last week about the new product.

Post any other information you find about it or how well it works.

Does it work just in any old non-gluten-free recipe? LIke Cake, cookies, etc? I get awful tired trying to remeber which of 5 dozen different flours I will need to buy when I am at WIld Oats! Be nice ot have a baiscly universal mix... worth paying a little more for jstu some storage space back!

LOL I just dug up this thread and PM'd Nini since I guess she never saw my question. Please dont forget let me know how you make out!

LOL, sorry Vincent... I lose track of which threads I've posted on and don't always recheck them!

To answer the question yes, I use it the same in recipes 1:1 as regular flour, if I can't find the Orgran one in the store, I get The Gluten Free Pantry's All Purpose Flour Mix, it also works just as well, it's just a little more expensive than Orgran.

WEll just stoped at the store that carreis the GFP line to try the flour, and the owner told me she does no think she will be open more then couple more months. And thier shelves were quite empty... she said most of thier suppliers have folded and they just cant get product any more.
