The Best Gluten Free Flour Blend
I eat gluten free due to a gluten intolerance, and I get asked all the time what flour blend I use for my baking. I make my own blend because I have found that the pre made blends in the shops aren't as nice as this. It only takes a few minutes to mix a large batch to last me for about a month (depending on how much baking I do!). I usually buy the flour in bulk online and double this recipe so I don't have to mix it as often.
I use this fail-safe gluten free flour blend as a straight swap for wheat flour in baking. If self raising flour is called for in a recipe, I will just add gluten free baking powder to make it self raising.
I always get compliments on my baked goods using this blend, and I haven't had a bad experience with it after using it for years. I use it for everything that requires flour...cakes, cookies, scones, pancakes, waffles, pie/tart crusts, breading chicken, and thickening soups. I really hope you enjoy The Best Gluten Free Flour Blend recipe below!
