Baking flour mix #1 (ATK)

My dad really likes the America's Test Kitchen How Can It Be Gluten Free Cookbook, mostly because of one thing: non-fat powdered milk.  Including this in a flour mix helps the bread's structure, and also helps it brown, giving it a more traditional appearance.

We call this the ATK mix, even though they only use rice flour.

2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup white bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1-1/2 tablespoon nonfat milk powder

This gives just under four cups. If you need four cups for a recipe, just add more rice flour. We keep a container labeled ATK, because a lot of baking recipes just use 3 cups, and the extra then goes into storage.

This mix is used in our coffee cake recipe.

(All-Purpose) Flour Mix #6 and 6.5

The way this works is that you make a giant batch (this recipe makes about 5 cups) and then use it as recipe calls for.  For example, my pancake recipe calls for 1 cup of this mix, so you would just take one cup out of your giant batch.

All Purpose Flour Mix #6

1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup oat flour
1 cup millet flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup black bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup flax seed meal

All-Purpose Flour Mix #6.5

1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup oat flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup white bean flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup potato starch

(All-Purpose) Flour Mix #5

My dad said that this did not work, but here it is anyway!

All-Purpose Flour Mix #5

-3 cups oat flour

-2 cups rice flour

-1 cup garbanzo flour

-1/2 cups tapioca flour

(All-purpose) Flour mix #4

This flour recipe has a slight bean-y flavor to it, similar to flour #2.  If you don't mind that, it was great!  We used this flour for the blackberry pie that we made (soon to be published!).

(All-purpose) Flour mix #4

-1/12 cup brown rice flour

-1 cup oat flour

-1/2 cup white rice flour

-1 cup mayocoba bean flour 

-1/2 cup potato starch

-3 Tb flax seed, ground in a coffee grinder

-1/2 cup quinoa flour

This recipe does not include xanthum gum, so be sure to add about 2 tablespoons to the recipe you use it in. 

Flour # 2- Riceless

My dad made another flour today, but riceless!  It is good if you are doing a rotational diet.  

Flour # 2- Riceless

-1 cup oat flour

-1/2 cup tapioca flour

-1/4 cup potato starch

-1/8 cup garbanzo flour

-1/16 cup flax seed (ground in coffee grinder)

-1/16 cup quinoa seed (ground as above)

 The way my dad did this one is by filling 1 cup in layers, so 1 cup was just oat flour and another cup was everything else.  It is kind of approximate, so if it is tweaked it will not make much difference.

By the way, quinoa is pronounced KEEN-wa, not kwi-NO-a.  Weird!

All-Purpose Flour mix # 1

My dad wants me to write down the flour mixes we make, so here is the first one!:

All-Purpose Flour Mix # 1

Ingredients:

-1 1/4 cup rice flour

-3/4 cup oat flour

-2/3 cup corn (or potato) starch

-1/3 cup potato starch

-1 large tablespoon Tapioca flour

-1 tsp. xanthum gum

Just mix all this stuff together and you get flour.  We used it in some pancakes and it worked great.
