Here is a conversion chart for any
one who is just starting out.

For 1 TBS of wheat flour, sub one of
these:

1 1/2 tsp Cornstarch
1 1/2 tsp Potato starch
1 1/2 tsp Arrowroot starch
1 1/2 tsp Rice flour
2 tsp quick cooking tapioca
______________________

For 1 cup Wheat flour, sub one of
these:

1 cup Soy Flour with 1/4 cup potato
flour
7/8 cup Rice Flour
5/8 cup Potato Flour
1/2 cup Soy Flour with 1/2 cup
Potato Flour
7/8 cup Buckwheat Flour
3/4 cup plain Cornmeal, coarse
1 cup plain Cornmeal, fine
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.

When milk mixture is cool, pour into 13" x 9"
containing cubed JELL-
O® and mix carefully until well combined.
Chill until set, about 4
hours.

**NOTE**

If you are using sweetened condensed milk,
combine with one can of
warm water prior to adding to gelatin mixture.

If you are using heavy whipping cream, you
may want to dilute it
with one cup of warm water.

Once set, cut into desired shape and serve!

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.
