A simple, versatile gluten-free flour blend perfect for baking everything from pancakes to muffins, providing a great texture and neutral flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (320 g) brown rice flour
  • 2/3 cup (85 g) tapioca starch
  • 1/3 cup (45 g) potato starch
  • 1/3 cup (45 g) sweet rice flour (glutinous rice flour)
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions

  1. Measure the flours using a kitchen scale if possible: 2 cups (320 g) brown rice flour, 2/3 cup (85 g) tapioca starch, 1/3 cup (45 g) potato starch, and 1/3 cup (45 g) sweet rice flour.
  2. Pour all the flours into a large mixing bowl. If using cups, spoon the flour lightly into the cup and level it offβ€”do not scoop directly from the bag.
  3. Whisk or sift the flours together at least 3 times to distribute starches evenly and prevent clumps.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon xanthan gum to provide structure and elasticity.
  5. Transfer the blend to an airtight container, label with date and contents, and store in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
  6. Test the blend in recipes like pancakes or muffins; batter should feel smooth and pourable, not gritty or dry.

Notes

Use a kitchen scale for accuracy. If you don’t have sweet rice flour, substitute with more tapioca starch but expect a slightly different texture. Store blend in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or refrigerate/freezer for longer freshness. Do not omit xanthan gum unless substituting with guar gum. Let batter rest 10-15 minutes before baking for best texture.
