SpicenEasy's Simple All-Purpose Flour Blend
-
Prep Time: 5 minutes

Makes: Approximately 4 cups
Ingredients:
-
2 cups SpicenEasy White Rice Flour

⅔ cup SpenEasy Potato Starch
-
⅓ cup SpicenEasy Tapioca Flour
-
2 tsp SpicenEasy Xanthan Gum
-
1 tsp salt

Combine: In a large bowl or airtight container, add the white rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour.
-

-
Store: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Use as a 1:1 substitute for regular wheat flour in most recipes.
Chef's Tip: *Whisking thoroughly is non-negotiable! If the xanthan gum is not evenly distributed, you will get gummy spots in your baking. For best results, weigh your ingredients for accuracy. This blend is perfect for cookies, muffins, pancakes, and cakes. For yeast-based bread recipes, you may need to add an extra ½ to 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup of flour blend for better structure.*
-
Use this blend to make pancakes: Use 1 cup of this blend, 1 egg, 1 cup of milk, and 1 tbsp of baking powder for easy, non-crumbly pancakes.
