Finally I am getting to the gluten-free recipes that everyone has been asking me for. I found the recipe for my gluten-free baking mix online about a year ago and I started substituting it for wheat straight across. I've been tinkering and adapting the recipes as I go, and I am only sharing the ones that receive the most compliments. I've discovered that the less gluten my body has to process, the happier it is. So when I have the luxury of time, I bake gluten-free treats and pop them in the freezer for when I have a serious gluten-ous craving. Here is the multi-purpose baking mix for starters:
2 cups brown rice flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp. zanthan gum
*All of these ingredients can be found at your local organic market in the baking or bulk section. The tapioca flour and zanthan gum are added to rice flour to achieve a semblance of the fluffy texture we so love in regular flour.
*For the real go-getters, you may also grind your own rice flour. I have a Cuisinart Mill that works great; but I usually just use rice flour from the bulk section.
