DIY Gluten Free Flour Blend
While convenient, store-bought blends may not always deliver the best results, especially in more delicate baked goods. For items like biscuits, pie crusts, or cinnamon rolls, the flavor and texture can sometimes fall short of expectations. Many experienced gluten-free bakers find that store-bought blends lack the flavor profile needed for certain recipes. Most DIY blends I have found have some variation of the ingredients listed below.

- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
300 grams White Rice Flour (fine ground) DO NOT USE SWEET WHITE RICE FLOUR, they are different things
240 grams cornstarch
160 grams tapioca starch
75 grams finely ground brown rice flour (avoid stone ground as it is grittier)
100 grams non-fat milk powder
30 grams potato starch
20 grams xanthan gum
Instructions
My preferred mixing method is to pour everything into a large bowl that I have and give it a thorough whisk. I then transfer the mix into the storage container I use, which is big enough I can give everything a really good shake. This has worked well for me.
Alternatively, you could mix up smaller batches of the flour blend in a food processor or blender to ensure thorough mixing.
Notes
- I keep my flour blend in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent spoilage. I understand that space in the fridge or freezer is a premium for some, so if you don’t have much room, divide the weights listed by 2 to give you a smaller amount to store.
