Janelle’s Famous All Purpose Flour blend
(from MOCAJanelle’s recipe box)
I do a lot of cooking and baking. I use flour nearly every day. So many recipes call for 4 to 8 different flours, and it really does give a better result than trying to sub with just one flour. Rather than having to get out so many bags and jars every day, I came up with this blend for baked goods, dredging meat, everything! It is a good multi-purpose mix without the graininess of regular rice flour or the beany flavor of many other blends. When a recipe calls for other combinations using soy or bean flours I just substitute this flour cup for cup. When substituting for wheat flour, use xanthan gum or another gluten substitute according to package directions. For large batches I measure by weight. It stores well in a canister in the cupboard. Refrigerate if you won’t use it within a month or two.

Ingredients
- 1 part Tapioca flour
- 2 parts Potato Starch
- 6 Parts Super Fine Rice Flour (*Must be superfine! Regular rice flour gives a grainy texture and doesn't bake up the same way as Super Fine. I requested it at my local Hy-Vee and they ordered Authentic Foods brand.)
Directions
-
For 9 cups of flour mix measure 6 cups Super fine Rice flour, 2 cups Potato Starch and 1 cup Tapioca flour. Mix together and store in a canister in the cupboard, or refrigerate if storing for long periods.

This mixture is somewhat flexible. Example: for 1 cup of flour you would mix: 1 Tablespoon Tapioca Flour, 3 Tablespoons Potato Starch, 3/4 cup Superfine Brown Rice flour. The amounts are not exactly the 1/2/6 ratio but it works great!
