Recipes - Gluten Free Flours
Below are the three essential flour mixes that you need. These flour mixes are used in most of the recipes we will give you and take the place of wheat flour in a 1:1 ratio. These flour mixes were developed by Bette Hagman, and can be found in her book "The Gluten Free Gourmet Bakes Bread."
We would like to mention that Bette Hagman's recipe books are WONDERFUL. Her "Gluten Free Gourmet" book has been well used by both of us. (In fact, Kirsti's first copy was so well used that it had to be honorably retired . . . in other words, it fell apart!) Her books have a lot of information on Celiac and Gluten Free Cooking in general, as well as hundreds of yummy recipes. They are sold at most major bookstores, as well as online stores such as Amazon.com. Sometimes they can also be found in local Public Libraries. Check one out!
