GLUTEN-FREE ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR MIX #1
This mix will make an all-purpose gluten-free blended flour. Add xanthan gum, guar gum, baking powder etc as required. Using a blended flour that you have prepared yourself is much cheaper than buying ready blended multi-purpose flour. If you shop at asian supermarkets,bulk or wholesale stores you will be able to locate all of these flours quite cheaply. The flours used in this mix are readily available in most countries and are the standard flours used in gluten-free cooking. Look for a very fine milled rice flour as the grittier flours will also produce gritty baked goods.Keep on hand to use in your recipes. Store in an airtight container. You can make larger amounts to have on hand eg. 6 cups rice flour, 2 cups potato starch & 1 cup arrowroot or tapioca flour. The potato starch/flour that you are looking for is a fine white powder (not the US potato flour). The general recommended amounts of xanthan gum are 1/2 to 1 teaspoon for a cake, 1 teaspoon for a pastry recipe and 1 tablespoon for a bread recipe. Add the gum to your dry ingredients and mix well, prior to adding liquids. This is a general purpose flour blend. You can also replace 1 cup of rice flour with 1 cup of brown rice flour. Editted to add - Yes..this recipe uses potato starch. In Australia we cannot purchase potato flour as is available in the US. Potato starch is sold as both potato flour and potato starch in Australia

WICKLEWOOD'S GLUTEN FREE FLOUR MIX
It seems obvious I know but lighter flours are better for lighter recipes, and I am a firm believer in less is more; gluten free flour doesn't need to be complicated, the only rule of thumb with this flour blend is to use 2 teaspoons of xanthan gum for every lb. of flour.

NEARLY NORMAL GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR MIX
I found this recipe in the Thanksgiving edition of the Illinois Times, when Kim O'Donnel 'caught up' with the author of 'Normal Cooking for Gluten-Free Eating. After having success with many of the gluten-free all-purpose flower mixes from the 'zaar, I can't wait to try this one and hope it helps others. On a seperate note, The columnist does say the products using this flour are grittier than gluten-containing flours; I think that is typical of gluten-free baking. Nonetheless, enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right flours. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. Some are better for certain recipes than others. Do some research to find the best flours for your needs.
- Measure your ingredients carefully. Gluten-free flours can be tricky to work with, so it's important to measure your ingredients carefully. Too much or too little of an ingredient can ruin your recipe.
- Don't overmix your batter or dough. Overmixing can make your gluten-free baked goods tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Be patient. Gluten-free baking takes some practice. Don't get discouraged if your first few attempts aren't perfect. Keep trying and you'll eventually get the hang of it.
Conclusion:
Gluten-free baking can be a challenge, but it's definitely possible to make delicious gluten-free baked goods. With the right ingredients and a little practice, you can enjoy all of your favorite treats without the gluten. So get baking and enjoy!
