I love to bake, so when half of my household ended up needing to be on a gluten-free diet, we were discouraged until we found this wonderful gluten-free flour blend recipe. This blend can be used in most recipes in place of all-purpose wheat flour at a 1:1 ratio. I use this blend for everything unless a specific recipe calls for specific types of flours at specific measurements.

Gluten-Free Flours
There are so many types of gluten-free flours! I had no idea until I started baking and cooking gluten-free. Here are the flours I use for my favorite gluten-free flour blend:
- Brown Rice Flour or White Rice Flour
- Tapioca Flour (this is called either flour or starch, it’s the same thing)
- Potato Starch (make sure it is STARCH and not potato flour!)
- Arrowroot Starch/Flour (either flour, starch, or powder – they are all the same)
The ratios for my flour blend:
2 cups rice flour (either brown or white) to 1/3 cup EACH of the tapioca flour, potato starch, and arrowroot flour.
I like to use a large airtight container and make a triple batch: 6 cups rice flour, 1 cup EACH of the tapioca, potato, and arrowroot. Then I put the lid on and shake the container to combine. This way I can make 4 or 5 gluten-free recipes before I have to remix my flour.

To measure flour, use a spoon to scoop flour into your measuring cup, then use the flat side of a butter knife to scrape the measuring cup level.

Important Note
This recipe does not contain any thickening agent. If you only use this blend your baked goods will be very crumbly. To avoid this I add approximately 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour that I use in a recipe. I do not mix the xanthan gum into my flour blend.
For example: If a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour, I will use 2 cups of my gluten-free flour blend and 2 teaspoons of xanthan gum.
Sometimes a recipe does not need xanthan gum if it gets its structure from eggs (such as crêpes) then I will not add any xanthan gum.
