Soy Flour?

[Tiki]

hi i havent been on the board in a while but today my mum brought home a bag of soy flour she found at a food store. i have not a clue what to do with it or any recipes so i came on here looking for some hints or recipes. any ideas? she suggested i simply substitue it for regular flour but i dont know if thats a good idea since they have different properties. i also tried searching the board but it kept giving me error messages so if there is already a post on this just point me in that direction.

t,

First off, that's a cool name, Tiki. There's some great user names around here, but for some strange reason I decided to use my real name (boring!). Actually, I thought it would be easy to remember since I have already used it on other forums. I have enough trouble remembering passwords much less user names.

Anyways, I would highly recommend getting a gluten-free cookbook. Anyone will do for your question, as they all discuss the various gluten-free flours & starches, etc. But ones I would recommend are:

~ Living Gluten-Free for Dummies, by Danna Korn. Yes, it sounds stupid, but is a really good all around book. Not just a cookbook, actually not the best cookbook per se, but it covers many topics that we new Celiacs need to know for a successful transition to our new life.

~ The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook, by Donna Wasburn & Heather Butt. This is strictly a cookbook. Has some very usefull info & reference tables.

I think you can order both of these for about $25 total, with no tax and free shipping from amazon.

As far as soy flour. I have some, haven't used it much so can't really say very much about it. It's heavy and can only be used in small amounts added to other gluten-free flours/starches. Maybe

thanks. i found two recipes on the foodnetwork that seem fairly simple and will prolly look into cookbooks and finding other ingredients so i can actually bake stuff.

I use soy as part of my gluten-free flour blend - 1 part soy flour, 1 part rice flour, 1 part tapioca starch.

Some people really dislike the smell/taste of soy flour. I don't notice it. As well, soy flour can go rancid, so if you have a large bag of it, perhaps it should be in the fridge. Not sure if it freezes well.
