Gluten Free Flour Mix

4 1/2 cups white rice flour
1 1/2 cups sweet (glutinous) rice flour (there is no gluten)
2 Cups potato starch (not potato flour)
1 cup tapioca starch (also known as tapioca flour)
4 tsp. Xanthan Gum

I place all the ingredients in a freezer bag and shake the bag. All the flours are inexpensive and the recipe makes 9 cups flour mix. This can be stored in the freezer when not in use.

The ingredients for this recipe can be found at a health food store.

Note: Xanthan gum is expensive however, you will have it for a long time and it will not go bad in the freezer.
This gluten free flour can be used in all regular recipes. Ex: if a recipe calls for 3 cups all-purpose flour then you would use 3 cups of this flour blend.

This recipe is taken from Carol Kicinski's Simply... Gluten-Free Desserts.
