Gluten-Free, Soy-Free Baking Mix

Use this baking mix in recipes in place of flour, salt, and baking powder or baking soda. If you're allergic to corn, use more potato-starch flour or millet flour instead. For a simple flour substitute, omit the baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt and use cup for cup.

Potato Flour Versus Potato Starch

Potato starch is also known as potato-starch flour. This is a very finely milled product used in baking. Potato flour can be very grainy, and it is dense, with a marked potato taste. Do not confuse the two, and be sure to read labels when you're in the health food store.
