Updated flour mix recipe -- gluten free

Hi,

My doctor thinks I'm having a problem with gluten, so barley flour is out for me.  Here's a mix I just tried:

2 cups sorghum flour
1 cup corn flour
3/4 cup potato starch
3/4 cup corn starch

I've been able to freely eat potatoes for a while now, so I'm giving it a try.  I'm not adding Knox to the muffins I just made because I think the potato starch will be sticky enough.  I'll let you know!

UPDATE 12-12-11

Ok, so here's yet another recipe.  I like this one best:

Combine equal parts of
Cornmeal
Cornstarch
Sorghum flour
Tapioca flour

If you need it extra tender, use more tapioca flour.

Several wheat free "baking mix" or flour mix recipes, also, gluten free

Here are an assortment of wheat-free flour mixes.  Some are gluten free while others are not.  I put "GF" in front of the gluten free recipes.




Wheat Free "Flour" Mix
Here's one.  It seems to work pretty well.  This is NOT gluten free.


2 cups barley flour
2 cups brown rice flour
1 cup corn meal (or flour)
1 cup tapioca flour


Combine and store in an airtight container.  Use in place of wheat, ("all purpose"), flour in recipes.






Another Wheat Free "Flour" Mix 
This one is without rice and has the benefits of flax.  This is NOT gluten free.


2 cups barley flour
2 cups corn meal (or flour)
1 cup tapioca flour or cornstarch
1 cup ground flax seed meal


Combine and store in an airtight container.  Refrigerate, if possible.  Use in place of wheat, ("all purpose"), flour in recipes.






GF Version 3
This version is Gluten FREE.


2 cups sorghum flour
2 cups millet flour
2 cups corn meal
1 cup cornstarch


Combine, store in an airtight container.  Use in place of wheat (all purpose) flour in recipes.


Version 4
This one is NOT gluten free.


2 cups barley flour
2 cups millet flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1 cup cornstarch


Combine, store in an airtight container.  Use in place of wheat (all purpose) flour in recipes.


Note:  I think by now, you are probably seeing a pattern.  I'm using what I have on hand.  I do like the versions with barley best because there is a bit of gluten in the barley.  However, if you can't have gluten, certainly don't use barley!




Version 5
For many baking applications, adding a packet of Knox gelatin will keep baked goods from being crumbly.  This one is NOT gluten free. 


2 cups barley flour
1 cup sorghum flour
1 cup cornstarch


Combine, store in an airtight container.  Use in place of wheat (all purpose) flour in recipes.




GF Here's another one that doesn't have the barley in it for gluten free baking.
Just follow that link.






GF And another that is also gluten free.  This is what I'm using now that I'm gluten free!

2 cups sorghum flour
1 cup corn meal
1 cup corn starch


Use as above in place of all-purpose (wheat) flour.
