Gluten Free Flour

This is an easy and an inexpensive of a way to make a gluten free flour blend that mimics your standard all-purpose flour blend. Both rice flour and tapioca starch/flour can be found in the bulk section of your local natural health food store. Xanthan Gum is usually found in the baking aisle—remember you only need 2 teaspoons per 2 cups brown rice flour so buy Xanthan Gum in as small of a pouch as it comes. This recipe only acts as a substitute for the all-purpose flour. You still need to add the baking soda, powder, salt etc. to your recipe.

Ingredients
2 cups white or brown rice flour. Brown rice is healthier and adds a bit of nutty flavor to the flour.
1 cup tapioca starch/flour. These items names are one in the same.
2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum.

Whisk all ingredients together and store in a sealed container as you would other baking goods.
