    Commercially Available All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flours

    Better Batter and Cup4Cup. These are my two favorite brands of commercially available all-purpose gluten-free flour blends. The two all-purpose gluten-free flour blend recipes I provide are a Mock Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour, which approximates the results achieved with Better Batter Gluten-Free Flour, and my Better Than Cup4Cup Gluten-Free Flour, which corrects what I think is an imbalance in Cup4Cup itself. Either of those blends can be used successfully in any recipe in this book that calls for an all-purpose gluten-free flour.

    The Homemade Flour Blends

    The flour blend recipes that follow can be multiplied by as many factors as you like. I typically make at least 10 cups at a time by just multiplying every ingredient by 10, placing the ingredients in a large, airtight, lidded container, and whisking very well. For an online calculator that does the math for you, please see the page “Flour Blends” on my website Gluten-Free on a Shoestring.
