Re: Desperately need menu ideas

Andy,

We have been testing through an allergist - doing the

provocation/neutralization method. She said he tested 4 (out of 5) for

potatoes and 3 for rice and also eggs :-( He is six years old and we

have been GFCF for over a year.

,

Where do you get the Authentic Foods sorghum flour? Bette Hagman's

bean flour blend? I need to sub it for pancakes and waffles. Do you

think that would work? Got any recipes for them? Thanks so much.

www.twinvalleymills.com sells sorghum flour only. They grow it, mill it and

sell it so that there is no chance of cross-contamination. They also have

some recipes on their site.

Can you use these flour blends

5 cups white corn flour

1 cup bean flour

2 cups corn starch

1 cup tapioca

or

3 cups white corn flour

3 cups tapicoa

2 cups arrowroot

1 cup corn starch

The same blends could be made subsituting sorghum for the white corn.

Charlene, heres some recipes using sorghum. This first one was posted

back in Feb. by Weaver-

Good luck with everything

on Long Island New York

Just made an INCREDIBLE loaf of bread and wanted to pass along the

success.We are on a 4 day rotation diet and I am experimenting with a

different bread for each flour. Today is sorghum day. I just put one

ingredient in the kitchen aid after another to keep it simple. (i'm sure

some of you good bakers just cringed *hehe*). Hope it works for you.

Here's the recipe....p.s. it is GFCF, soy, corn, yeast free and low in

sugars

Pre heat to 350.

2c sorghum blend (2c sorghum, 2/3 arrowroot, 1/3 tapioca)

1 1/2 tsp guar gum

2 Tblsp brown sugar (it was softly sweet...I will omit this all together

next loaf)

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp dried egg whites (real whites ok)

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs (could replace if needed)

3 Tblsp Spectrum palm shortening

1 Tblsp honey ( will increase this to 2 tblsp and no brown sugar next

loaf)

1 cup + 1 Tblsp soda water, perrier, etc

Consistency will be like cake batter. Grease and flour (w/ spectrum and

sorghum) a bread pan. Bake 30 mins. Cover with foil and bake 25 mins

longer. Take out of pan and cool.

Gillian and I ate it warm with cashew nut butter for lunch. ENJOY!!

Here's a pancake one posted back in March by someone-

The best pancake recipe I have tried uses sorghum flour. My husband, who

hates all of the GFCF stuff loves these.

2 cups sorghum flour

2/3 cup potato starch

1/3 cup tapioca flour

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons xanthan gum

1 tablespoon baking powder

touch of salt

Mix above well and set aside. In separate bowl mix:

2 cups water

1 cup milk sub

3 eggs

3 tablespoons oil

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine with dry ingredients and cook on griddle until done.

These are great.
