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...

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

The Original Fudgsicle Mishap

                             My Grocery Cart About 3 months ago I was in the market as usual,  doing my weekly grocery shopping, in the second to last row: the freezer section.  I wanted my weekly fudge pop indulgence.  I grabbed the package in the backity back!! The most frozen one I could find, and decided to blog this wonderful gluten free treat.  I realized I had never blogged about this fudge pop being gluten-free, and how silly of me to keep this tid bit to myself.  So I grabbed my phone to take a picture of the front and back of the box.  I gasped! omg, omg, omg.  I starred at the ingredients.  MALT FLOUR.  Yikes!  No way!  It can't be.  How come I never noticed this before?  Did the ingredients change?  Was it always like this?  Something had to have changed and then to top it off I noticed at the bottom of the ingredient...
