| Rice Flour Blend Mix ahead and use in recipes calling for Gluten-Free Flour Mix: 6 cups Rice Flour 2 cups Potato Starch Flour 1 cup Tapioca Flour Most of the recipes on this site were developed using the above Bette Hagman's original gluten-free flour mix. This mix makes light baked goods with a pleasant texture and flavor. ____________________________________________ Bean Flour Blend Mix ahead and use in recipes calling for Gluten-Free Flour Mix: 3 cups Garfava Bean Flour 1 cup Sorghum Flour 4 cups Tapioca Flour 4 cups Cornstarch I have found that many recipes which call for gluten-free flour mix work just as well or better using a blend of bean flours combined with other gluten-free flours. |

| Gluten Free Bread 2 cups GF flour (see below) 3 tbsp sugar 2 tsp xanthan gum (see below) 1 cup milk, or milk sub. (I use Dari-Free) 1 tsp salt 1.5 tsp yeast 2 tbsp oil (or use butter, just barely melted in the microwave) 2 eggs 1 tsp cider vinegar Put these ingredients into your breadmaker in whatever order it requires them and bake like any other white loaf. The GF flour is a flour substitute. You make it like this: 2 parts white rice flour 2/3 part potato starch flour (NOT potato flour) 1/3 part tapioca flour I make up 3 cups of this into a canister, 2 cups goes for the bread and the other cup stays in the canister for next time.

| AWESOME!!!! For those of you (like me) who can't use dyes, just use cranberry, blueberry, apple, orange, grape juice with your gelatin packs! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Broken Glass JELL-O ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4 3-ounce boxes of JELL-O® brand gelatin* 1 12-ounce can of evaporated milk** 4 envelopes unflavored gelatin *You may use any flavor of JELL-O® that you want.f grape, strawberry, lime and lemon. **Instead of evaporated milk, you may substitute the following: 1 can of condensed milk, plus 1 can water, or 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. OR 1 can of coconut milk! In separate bowls, dissolve 1 box of JELL-O® in one cup of boiling water. Pour into an eight inch square dish or pan. Chill until set, approximately 3 hours. Once set, cube JELL-O® and mix in a 13" x 9" baking pan and set aside (in the refrigerator). In a separate bowl, combine four envelopes unflavored gelatin with one cup boiling water. Let dissolve completely, about 5 minutes. Strain and combine with one can of evaporated milk or coconut milk. Set aside to cool.

| Cooking Methods To Simmer: Bring liquid to a boil. Stir in the grain. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook until liquid is absorbed and grain is tender to the bite. Fluff with a fork before serving. Soaking whole grains in the liquid overnight in the refrigerator will reduce the cooking time. To Steep: Pour boiling liquid over the grain. Cover and let stand until grain is tender to the bite. For Cereal (using meal, grits, or flakes): Combine cold water and grain. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over high heat. Reduce temperature to low, cover, and cook to desired thickness. **Cooking times are approximate. Length of time stored since harvest can cause fluctuations in the time needed to cook a grain. Always check for doneness 5 minutes before shortest specified cooking time, and then be prepared to cook it longer than the longest specified time. ***Before cooking roasted buckwheat groats, stir the grain into 1 beaten egg-substitute. Then, pour the mixture into a heated skillet and toast it to dry the egg, about 3 minutes. This "egg"- wash will keep the grains separate and crisp during cooking and prevent the buckwheat from turning to mush. The information on this chart is listed for customer convenience only- Joshua's Blessings is not responsible for any mishaps, please try to cook on your back burners ESPECIALLY if you have small children, hot cereals can cause horrible 3rd degree burns. Remember—grain cooking can vary for many reasons—age, storage, etc—so cooking times are approximated. |
