I have struggled to find a multi-purpose gluten-free flour that I can use in a range of recipes for quite some time, until my grandmother suggested creating my own blend. We looked through some of her recipes that she's collected in her life and boy did we find gold. A few days were spent shopping, sifting and cooking but eventually I determined a few favourites, and I'm sharing them with you today! Whether you're gluten-free, grain-free or potato free, I've got you covered!
SUPERFINE FLOUR
200g Besan (a.k.a. Gram) flour
200g Potato starch
150g Tapioca starch
100g Fine rice flour
GRAIN-FREE BLEND
200g Besan (a.k. Gram) flour
200g Tapioca starch
100g Potato starch
POTATO-FREE BLEND
200g White sorghum flour
200g Fine white rice flour
100g Brown rice flour
100g Arrowroot
BLENDING METHOD
Weigh the ingredients.
Combine them into a large plastic bag (eg. large sized freezer bags) and shake well.
Slowly sift the mixture, pressing out any lumps.
And voilà! The flour is now ready for use. Store in paper, calico or hemp bags. Do not store in airtight containers.
NOTES
As I'm still in the process of determining whther or not I have coeliac disease or some other form of gluten intolerance, I use the superfine blend, but you can use any of these in most recipes although some will give better results than others. All can be used for gravy, cookies, cakes and pastries, with additional baking powder/GF self-raising flour/whatever is needed additionally.
Have you got any awesome flour blends? Let me know! I'd love to hear feedback from using these in your recipes!
