Gluten-Free Flour Recipes

**found in Karina's Gluten-Free Goddess Blog

GF Flour Recipe-Millet Based

2 cups Millet Flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1-2 tsp. of Xanthan Gum

GF Flour Recipe-White Rice Flour Base

2 cups White Rice Flour
2/3 cup potato starch
1/3 cup tapioca flour
1-2 tsp. of Xanthan Gum

I usually like to use less xanthan gum then more.  I find in cookies I use about 1/4 tsp.  In cakes, pies and tarts I use 1 tsp and in pastry 1-2 tsp.

Keep in mind that changing one piece of the GF flour recipe will change THE ENTIRE RECIPE.  Gluten-free flours are tricky.  Just one change and boom, you have an new combo.  Sometimes the results are treasures and other times garbage.  But you have to experiment to figure out what works.

So the Millet Flour Base recipe will taste VERY DIFFERENT from your White Rice Flour Base.  You would also use them for different things.  For example-The white rice flour recipe I would use in cakes and cookies like a chocolate chip, butterscotch or sugar cookie, where the Millet Flour recipe I might use for muffins.  It all depends.  Before baking the final goods for the holidays, test out the gf flour mixture you use.

Last but not least, you can make these flour mixtures ahead of time.  Store the flour mixture in the Fridge, as it is best to keep GF flours cooler then room temperature.  And if your recipe calls for less of this mixture? No problem!  Just mix it up and take what you need.  Don't be afraid of Trial and Error.  Trial and Error will become your new BFF when it comes to GF baking.  Embrace.

Happy Baking! xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel...

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
