Flour Conversions


Megan E

Recommended Posts

I'm new to all this, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a conversion table that will tell me how to substitute alternative flours in my favorite recipes. For example, 1 cup all purpose flour = x amount rice flour/soy flour/etc. Also, do I have to use different amounts of any of the other ingredients? Thanks to anyone who can help!

I use this mix of flour: 3 C brown rice flour, 1 C potato starch, 1/2 C tapioca starch and 2 tsp. xanthan gum. Sift together three times. Then I use it just as I would all-purpose flour in quick breads, cookies, cakes, etc. Sometimes I have to adjust the liquid a tiny bit, but usually it works just fine. When you start getting into trickier things like pizza dough, you need to add some bean flour and more tapioca flour (at least, in my recipe), but this basic recipe will get you started. I much prefer to bake out of my Betty Crocker cookbook using "regular" recipes than trying to follow 27 steps in a "special" gluten-free recipe.

Can I use plain old rice flour in something like gravy? Or do I always need to use a mix of flours?

Yes you can use rice flour in gravy. I've had great luck doing that.

Yep, I use white rice flour in gravy and it turns out great!

Great to know! now I just have to find time to buy rice flour. ;)

I went to a store today, but the store offering the free turkey if I spend $300 in a month didn't carry rice flour. I was $17 short for the free turkey after Friday's shopping so I went today to get a few more items so I could get my turkey. It's just that I would have gone to a different store with a different selection if I wasn't going for the promotion.

You can use plain old cornstarch for gravy until you get the rice flour :)

Well, then I'd need to go to a store and buy some cornstarch. ;)

I do have potato starch in the house, but I'm not 100% sure it hasnt' been contaminated by wheat flour in the past. I've had that can a VERY long time.

"Never officially diagnosed with Celiac, but won't ever go back to gluten again!"

Amen to that! Me either, and I won't put myself through that torture.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.
