I have been searching for flour I can use for baking biscuits
since I found out I was allergic to wheat and gluten. My biggest problem for
finding flour is that many products that are gluten-free either have soy flour
or potato flour in them. This last week, I found a brand that doesn't have
either! Moreover, it acts like wheat flour.
What is this wonderful
flour I speak of?
I found Namaste Foods,
Gluten Free Perfect Flour Blend at Costco
in Couer d'Alane, Idaho for a decent price. It was $9 for a five-pound
bag. For Gluten-free products, that is AWESOME!
Amazon sells it also in a
pack of six, 48-ounce bags for $53.68 (as of this posting). That's $8.94 for 48
ounces if you have Amazon Prime. If you don't have prime, then you will pay
shipping.
Namaste Flour in Biscuits
and Gravy
I made a few batches of biscuits with it and they taste pretty
close to what I remember wheat biscuits tasting like. Some batches came out
fluffier than others did. I am still working out the consistency part of
it. I'll have a recipe on here by the end of the week. (Pssst, its dairy
free!)
I also made gravy to pour over my biscuits. The gravy was very
delicious! I really liked how the flour didn't clump up and the gravy thickened
beautifully. I will have a recipe up this week for that too.
Tomorrow I will be making a loaf of bread with it to see how that
turns out.
Overall? What do I think?
Overall, I am very happy with this flour. It seems to work like
wheat flour. If you have used it, let me know what you make with it. I really
like this one!
What are the ingredients
to Namaste All-purpose flour?
The ingredients are Sweet
Brown Rice Flour, Tapioca Flour, Arrowroot Flour, Sorghum Flour and Xanthan
Gum.
Coming Soon! I have a recipe to try for all-purpose
flour. Now I have something good to compare it to!
