Best Gluten-Free Flour Mix

There are very few gluten-free baking mixes out there that actually taste good. Many of them are dry and extremely bland. In my opinion, the only one worth using is Pamela's Gluten Free Baking & Pancake Mix. However, Pamela's is pricey and runs out really fast if you bake a lot. I found a much cheaper alternative: (recipe via healthyfishies recipe blog) creating your own gluten-free baking mix! 

Best Gluten-Free Flour Mix Recipe:

1 1/4 cups Brown Rice Flour
1 3/4 cups White Rice Flour ( I have also used Superfine White Rice Flour)
2/3 cup Cultured Buttermilk (in a pinch, Powdered/Dry Milk works too)
1 cup Almond Meal or Almond flour
3/4 cup Tapioca Starch
3/4 cup Sweet Rice Flour
1/2 cup Potato Starch
3 Tablespoons baking powder
2 Tablespoon Baking Soda
1 tablespoon Sea Salt
3 tsp Xanthan Gum

sift together and store in a container or zip lock bag.

I guarantee your cake or bread or whatever you are baking will turn out wonderfully if you use this mixture. You can store it for a few months in a sealed bowl or freezer bag. It saves money to make it yourself, and it's tasty too!

*A few tips on where to find the ingredients: 

 I had to do a little shopping around to find all these flours. If you're lucky enough to live near a Whole Foods, you can get most of the flours there. Health food stores carry some of these flours. Trader Joe's has a good almond flour mixture. If you go to the ethnic section of a regular grocery store, you can usually find some different flours as well. Asian grocery stores almost always carry rice flours. If you don't feel like going out at all, and you enjoy planning ahead, you can buy the flours on Amazon, which has a surprising selection of gluten-free items for great deals.
