This page exists elsewhere here, but it has a good page on GF flours and combining them. This info is from New Zealand, but the concepts would still work.

GF flours

Gluten holds moisture and binds food, so when you remove this, things start to unravel. This is why it is so important to include a binder so the end result will be successful. It seems to be best to use 2 or more gluten free flours together when substituting them from wheat flour. A mixture of GF flours gives a better texture and flavour than just one on its own. When baking it is good to have 2 grainy or crumbly flours and a binding one. But there are some recipes that will work well successfully with only one flour.
