Trying To Recreate "nearly Normal" Flour W/ Expandex

[Guest]

Hello!

I really love the "Nearly Normal" flour, but at $20+ for a 5 pound bag it is expensive! I have found an old recipe for it online:

1 cup white rice flour

1 cup potato starch (not potato flour)

1 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup corn flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour or tapioca starch

4 teaspoons xanthan gum

Now it contains Expandex. Does anyone have an updated recipe?

Thanks and Merry Christmas,

You weren't kidding on the price of that flour. Here's what my search yielded, for purchasing Expandex flour.

I have bought Expandex a couple of times, but I really don't notice a difference when I use it in place of tapioca starch/flour. In fact I still even have some Expandex, but I never bother to grab it when I'm baking. I think it is a waste of money. You're better off trying to buy the individual flours at a good price and then make your own blend.
