My favorite gluten-free flour mix..........revealed!

     I'm always saying in my recipes "I use Annalise Robert's flour mix". I'm sure some of you say "what in the world is that?". Well, I asked Annalise if it would be ok to share her flour mix with you all and she said YES!! I am such a huge fan of Annalise's recipes and cookbooks. If you don't own one yet, you should put it on your Christmas list!! She has a way with baked goods......they will make you forget they are gluten free.

My FAVORITE gf cookbook!

   I usually mix up a large batch of this flour mix and store it in the refrigerator. I have written the recipe for the flour on top of my container with a sharpie marker so that I can easily make the recipe at any time. It saves me not having to look up the recipe each time I need to mix flour. It can be used cup for cup in gf recipes.

I keep the recipe on the lid of my plastic container.

     Annalise suggests using Authentic Foods brown rice flour in her recipe. However, I have trouble finding that and hate to spend the money on shipping costs to get it sent to me. 99% of the time I use Bob's Red Mill White Rice Flour in my recipe. Bob's is readily available in my area. I find that the white rice flour is less grainy than their brown rice flour. So if you also have trouble finding the Authentic Foods brand, then that is an alternative that I have found to be very successful.

Another little tip that I have about this mix...... Tapioca starch and tapioca flour are the same thing. Potato starch and potato flour are NOT the same thing. So carefully read labels when you are buying the ingredients to mix this. I once accidentally bought potato flour ...huge mistake!! You will for sure not make that mistake twice if it does happen to you. :)

Keep in mind that you will also need to use xanthan gum in your recipe as well as the flour mix.

Heavy Duty Cooking

Tonight I'm doing what I call "heavy duty cooking". I'm having a family birthday celebration at my house tomorrow. So that means I'm the "hostest with the mostest". Which also means......I have to prove gluten free is yummy!! I have to prove that I'm not a dufus for not allowing gluteney rolls to pass through my door. Soooo tonight I am getting some of the cooking done early!! That way the "hostest with the mostest" doesn't have to get up at 3am and then drop over in her gluten free kitchen from cooking exhaustion before the guests arrive!
    Tonight I am making yummy gluten free yeast rolls and carrot cake. Both of which aren't rocket science, but they are time consuming. I made the beautiful pink lemonade cuppeycakes yesterday and they are in the freezer. They will come out tomorrow morning to defrost for the party.
     I am not sure I could do it all without the help of a couple amazing things though. Please let me introduce you to............

My beautiful and amazingly wonderful PINK Kitchenaid mixer!!!

AND

a more recent love in my life......my countertop dishwasher!!

Without these two lovely beasts cooking would be more of a chore. Ok probably not really, but it is sure easier with these two!!

Well the timer says that my break is up and the rolls are done rising. I must get back to the kitchen!! I'll be back later with a recipe for that carrot cake I was talking about.
