This is a really wonderful flour mix for general baking... just thought I'd share...

WENDY WARKS FLOUR MIX

Can be purchased on line - click link above - or you can mix a larger quantity yourself by doubling or tripling the below recipe

1 cup brown rice flour (requires refrigeration)
1¼ cup white rice flour
¼ cup potato starch flour
2/3 cup tapioca starch flour
¾ cup sweet rice flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons xanthan or guar gum

The following is taken from Celiac.com and is written by Karen Roberts:

I often use only brown rice flour in the mix as it is healthier and better tasting. I buy at least 5 pounds every time I order (from manufacturers that sell a lot of brown rice flour). I keep it refrigerated and highly recommend it over white rice flour. This flour mix is the basis of many of my sweets, breadsticks, tortillas, waffles etc. I also like to use pure buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa flour to increase the flavor and healthfulness of certain items. It is important to buy these alternative flours from pure, gluten-free sources. Pure in the sense that they are grown in fields that are not adjacent to wheat fields and that they are processed in a 100% gluten-free environment from the field to your table.

Triple this flour mix recipe and keep it on hand for all of your baking needs. Once you have the flour mix together you are ready for about a months worth of gluten-free baking.

The Multi Blend Gluten-Free Flour mix is used cup for cup in recipes such as tortillas, pancakes/waffles, and cookies. If you plan to use this flour mix for cakes, sweet breads or brownies add an additional ½ teaspoon of xanthan gum per cup flour mix. I don’t use this flour mix for bread, pizza crust, breadsticks, etc. as they require specific flour combinations for the best results

I can't get sweet rice flour here anymore. Do you all order it from somewhere?

Have you checked your regular grocery store? It may be sold in the baking aisle under the name of Mochiko. We are absolutely riddled with asian markets here in the Pacific Northwest, so I buy mine locally. Loks like there are several varieties available on Amazon.

Thanks, Colleen! I know my local groceries don't carry it anywhere, but I suppose I'll have to break down and order some. I don't like mail ordering food. Just another quirk of mine.

I got my sweet rice flour from an asian market as well (picked up my mae ploy yellow curry paste while I was there!) the regular markets don't carry it. maybe investigate, I had no idea we had an asian market because it is a little mom and pop place. Fred meyer however carries A LOT Of GF bob's red mill products up here

Our asian markets are 40 miles one way, so i don't get to them very often. a local discount grocery carries a ton of BRM products, but not the sweet rice flour. i will ask again, but the manager never seems to really understand.

Is it substantially cheaper to buy the individual components of the mix? We are on a tight budget?

Does that still hold true when the nearest Asian market is over 2 hours away? Some of us live in the country LOL. I guess I'll just have to plan on dropping alot of cash at the Asian market in Birmingham, AL, when I'm in the city, while stopping by the Whole Foods for my quinoa and buckwheat and vegan "cheese." I'm planning to subsist on polenta and rice as my grains while I wait for my next trip to B'ham.
