Substitution For Flour Recommendation Needed

Hi there,

I am wondering if someone can help me alter my recipe for scalloped potatoes. The recipe requires dredging the potato slices in about 2 tablespoons of flour before adding the hot milk mixture. Then the recipe bakes for 1 and 1/2 hours. Would cornstarch be okay or should I be concerned that it will not work well due to the long baking time? Would sweet rice flour be better? Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am not on a gluten-free diet, but am making this for a dinner with a friend who has Celiac.

Thank you so much!

Hi Lily,

Welcome! How sweet of you to be so concerned about cooking for your friend :)

I think cornstarch would work fine--I use potato starch in my scalloped potatoes because of a corn intolerance, and it works very well.

Hope the dinner goes well, and drop by anytime if you have any more questions. ;)

If you'd share the recipe for the scalloped potatoes, that'd be great! They sound yummy.

I use corn starch or rice flour interchangeably. I prefer rice flour if I want a more traditional thickener, like for cheese sauce or cream soups. I use corn starch for stir fries and curries mainly. But they both work.

I mix up what I call my General Purpose Gluten Free flour... its basically

3 cups white rice flour

3 cups brown rice flour

1 box Tapioca flour

1 box Potato Starch flour

For the boxes, its usually 16 oz. But depending on what one I buy it ends up being a bit different..

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
