Baking With Gluten Free Flour

Here are some helpful hints on baking with gluten free flour.

1.  Rice flour and cornmeal tend to have a grainy texture.  You can
make a smoother texture by mixing the rice flour or cornmeal with
the liquid called for in the recipe.  Bring this mixer to a boil. Cool
and then add the other ingredients. 

2.  Always use soy flour with another type of flour, not as the only
flour in a recipe.

3.  Longer baking times and lower temperatures are usually required,
especially when the product is make without milk and/or eggs.

4.  When using coarse meals and flours in place of wheat flour, use
2 1/2 tsp. of baking powder for each cup of coarse flour to help the
product rise.

5.  Keep muffins or biscuits small for better texture.

6.  Keep cakes moist by frosting and storing in closed containers.
