How to Make a Gluten-Free Flour Mixture

Try this magical, gluten-free flour mixture as a substitute for wheat flour in most any recipe. Although many other suitable combinations of flours are available, cooking and baking is so much simpler when you use just one flour mixture consistently.

You can make a double batch of this mixture if you like, but sift together one recipe at a time, and then stir the batches together.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Yield: 5 cups

2 1/2 cups rice flour

1 cup potato starch flour

1 cup tapioca flour

1/4 cup garbanzo bean flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

2 1/2 tablespoons xanthan gum

  1. Sift all the ingredients into a large bowl.

  2. Stir ingredients together with a whisk.

  3. Spoon the mixture into a self-seal freezer bag and freeze until needed.

    Since most Gluten Free foods are also preservetive free (from what I see so far) is it safe to keep the flours and other foods on shelves or should they be frozen or refridgerated?
