Sub'ing Cornstarch For Flour In A Pudding

[pseudoleucite]

Hi!

I have a baked pudding recipe I want to try, and I'd like to make it gluten-free for my lady friend. The 8-serving recipe calls for 2 cups of flour. I know I can sub cornstarch for flour as a thickener at a 1:2 ratio, but 1 cup of cornstarch seems like a hell of a lot. Maybe I'll do something like 1/2 (or 1/4) cup of cornstarch, and then a cup of gluten-free flour (I have rice flour, potato stach, tapioca, and xantham gum available).

Thoughts? Thank you!

My suggestion, though perhaps someone with more gluten-free baking experience will have a better one... would be to use 1 cup rice flour and 1/2 cup each of tapioca and corn starch.

Edit, adding: if you don't mind it a bit 'dense' then you could increase the rice flour a bit and reduce the starches.

Thank you, sounds good. I'll give it a try!
