Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix from The Cravings Place

My family loves these cookies almost as much as Wheat based cookies! Because of that, this mix is my main inspiration for my GF2 Flour mix. The sad thing is that is only distributed in the Northwest at this time.

CLIF Nectar from Clif Bar

A really great snack on the go!

very berry crunch granola from Enjoy life

Nice to be able to have granola again!

Bumble Bar Organic Energy from Bumble Bar Inc.

Various flavors, all good, nice on the go snack.

GF Pancake Mix from Bob's Red Mill

Various flavors, all good, nice on the go snack.

Organic Maple Buckwheat Flakes from Arrowhead Mills

Okay cereal, my suggestion would be to avoid Arrowhead Mills flour products.

Tapioca Loaf from ENERG

Just simply nasty bread, I'd rather eat cardboard.
NO STARS!

Jeff's GF2 Flour Mix

NOTES: As mentioned above the idea for this mix comes from The Cravings Place ingredient list from their Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix but also is based off of the Standard Gluten Free Mix (GF Mix) from Bette Hagman's book The GLUTEN-FREE COURMET Revised Edition, published by Owl Books, pages 38-39. Where deviate from the GF Mix is that I add Brown Rice flour to it so it because 1/2 GF Mix and 1/2 Brown Rice Flour. I have found that this is the closest taste to real Wheat flour I have found.

How I use it - I premix the Flour (GF2 Mix) and store it in the refrigerator until needed and substituted it 1 for 1 in recipes that call for regular Wheat flour

Directions:

Formula for about 10 Cups
Brown Rice Flour		6 Cups Brown Rice Flour
White Rice Flour		3 Cups White Rice Flour
Potato Starch Flour (a.k.a. Potato Starch)		1 Cup Potato Starch
Tapioca Flour		1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour
Xanthan gum		5 teaspoons Xanthan gum

Jeff's GF2t Flour Mix

NOTES: This is a copy of the GF2 mix above with the addition of 1 cup of Teff Flour, as a substitute for 1 cup of Brown Rice Flour. The addition of the Teff Flour started as an an experiment because I didn't have enough Brown Rice Flour to complete the GF2 Flour Mix. The experience turned out well and I have extra Teff Flour to use up so I've continued using it. See below for the complete recipe.

Directions:

Formula for about 10 Cups
Brown Rice Flour		5 Cups Brown Rice Flour
White Rice Flour		3 Cups White Rice Flour
Teff Flour		1 Cup Teff Flour
Potato Starch Flour (a.k.a. Potato Starch)		1 Cup Potato Starch
Tapioca Flour		1/2 Cup Tapioca Flour
Xanthan gum		5 teaspoons Xanthan gum

Linda's Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies

NOTES:

Ingredients:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place on oven rack in the lower third of over. Set the over at 350 degrees.

In a bowl combine the PB, superfine sugar, egg, baking soda and salt. Add chocolate chips if desired. With a wooden spoon, stir until well mixed.

Take a tablespoon of dough, form it into a ball, and roll it in granulated sugar. Place the ball on the baking sheet and flatten it with the tines of a fork. Continue shaping the remaining dough.

Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown do not over bake. Leave the cookies on the sheet until they are almost cool. They are delicate when warm and break easily (not so much with the fresh ground PB).
