Gluten-free flour substitutes can be found in abundance, but they often come with a hefty price tag. Fortunately, creating your own gluten-free flour mix at home is a cost-effective and simple process. Homemade flour blends can be tailored to suit your dietary needs and taste preferences, and often consist of easily accessible ingredients like almond meal, coconut flour, and tapioca starch. With a few readily available grains and starches, you can prepare a gluten-free flour mix that yields delicious and nutritious baked goods.

GLUTEN-FREE FLOUR MIX
Shake up seven ingredients for a simple, homemade gluten-free flour mix; the perfect substitute in holiday baking. Thanks to a hearty blend of rice flour, tapioca flour, and potato starch, this easy gluten-free mix is ideal for baked goods that require little structure, such as sugar cookies, brownies, and crumbles. I wouldn't recommend it for desserts that require more structure, like cakes, and I haven't tried it in breads...yet. This recipe first appeared in Season 1 of Good Eats: Reloaded.

Steps:
- To measure brown-rice flour and tapioca flour, use a large spoon to scoop flour into a measuring cup, then level it off with the back of a knife. Do not use the measuring cup itself to scoop your flour when measuring; it will compact the flour and you will have too much for the recipe.
- Add both flours to a large resealable plastic bag, along with potato starch; reseal and shake until well combined.
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

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:
- Always measure your ingredients accurately. Gluten-free flours can absorb more or less liquid than wheat flour, so it's important to get the proportions right.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grind the flours in a blender or coffee grinder.
- Store your flour mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
- You can use this flour mix to make a variety of gluten-free baked goods, including bread, muffins, cookies, and pancakes.
- Experiment with different ratios of flours to find the blend that works best for you.
Conclusion:
Making your own gluten-free flour mix is a great way to save money and have more control over the ingredients in your food. With a little planning and effort, you can create a flour mix that is perfect for your needs. So get creative and start baking!
