for macaroni and cheese and it calls for sweet rice flour. I don't have any

brown rice flours,ener-g pure rice flour, potato flour, potato starch, soy

flour, bean flour, gluten free blend, and tapioca flour...will anything on

hand work? Thanks for your help!!

I believe that you can sub the tapioca flour (which is a starch) or the

potato starch.

I got sweet rice flour in the oriental section of my supermarket,where all

the soy sauce and chinese food is.It was on the top shelf and I almost didn't

see it. But it was 89 cents for a box of it.Look there and see if you can

find it.

I was skimming, so am not sure if someone else has answered this...i've

found brown rice flour to be great for thickening and in cooking. April

Help! I ordered some Xanhtan gum and it came today. I was excited,I could

make my son some cupcakes for valentines day. I used the chocolate cake

recipe out of lewis's book,followed it to the letter.Well, the batter

was REAL thick and I was skeptical,but I baked them. They turned out all

gummy.What did I do wrong? The recipe called for GF flour and I used sweet

rice flour. Could that be it?

The GF Flour is a combination of three flours, usually its Tapioca flour,

tapioca starch and rice flour. I use the Betty Hagmans from Miss Roben's

when I want a GF Flour.

Don't feel to bad about them not turning out because I just made some

brownies that were suppose to be chewy and soft, well they were hard and

crunchy! Guess I'll add them to the other door stoppers LOL

I wasn't a cook before this diet and so far I can't seem to get this cooking

thing right but on occasions I have gotten a few things right. Thank

goodness for Miss Roben's I wouldn't have any thing for my son to eat LOL

Have a great day!

tapioca flour and tapioca starch are the same thing. potato flour and potato

starch are different flour just like corn flour and corn starch are

different. This can get sooo confusing at times.

Yup, that was it. I made the same mistake, too, when we first began the

diet (since Sweet Rice Flour from the grocery store Asian foods section was

much cheaper than regular rice flour from the health food store.) Sweet

rice flour is sticky...makes pretty good fudgy brownies, though.

Actually, Bette's mix (which I use a lot, too) is 2 parts rice flour, 2/3

part potato starch flour, and 1/3 part tapioca starch flour. I make it with

6 cups of rice flour, no fractions!
