I Must Love Me Too

If you have neglected yourself,
make a sincere apology to thee.
Gather the "love-me-not-petals" of your life
and start counting "I-must-love-me-too".
In no time at all you have
a beautiful flower blossom within you. ~ Dodinsky Writings

BEST Gluten-Free Flour Mix



The Aherns' All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour Mix



300 grams superfine brown rice flour

250 grams sweet rice flour

150 grams tapioca flour

100 grams sorghum flour

100 grams potato starch

100 grams cornstarch



Mix them all up in a large container. Put on the lid. Shake it around. You have flour.



If you look at this combination, the brown rice flour and sorghum flour make up 40% of the mix by weight. The sweet rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, and cornstarch make up 60% of the mix by weight.



Here's the important part: if you keep to this same ratio of whole grain to starches, you can use other flours you like more for your all-purpose mix. Use millet instead of the sorghum, or amaranth. If you can't eat corn, use more potato starch in place of the cornstarch. Stick to this ratio and mix up a big batch of flour. You'll have all-purpose flour again.



You can bake almost any one of your old baking favorites now, substituting this mix for the all-purpose flour in the recipe. It's easy.



The only thing you have to remember is this: do not simply measure a cup of the gf all-purpose flour and expect the recipe to work. When you substitute your gluten-free all-purpose flour in a gluten recipe, use 140 grams or 5 ounces for every 1 cup of gluten all-purpose flour. 140 grams or 5 ounces.
