flour substitutes?

[FMmom]

I have a few family favorite recipes that I'd love to remake as fructan free, but have no idea what to use instead of white flour.

We use pasta made from white rice flour and my daughter seems to be able to handle that just fine. So I bought a bag of white rice flour and made muffins, using the recipe on the side of the bag. They are really crumbly. A bit dry, a little grainy and very, very crumbly. Is there a trick to making it stick together a little better?

I have several recipes using nut flours, but my daughter can't handle that at all. I made pancakes from buckwheat flour and she liked it, but was put off by the almost black color of it. Eew.

Also, I'm trying to make some cream soups for her and always used flour as a thickener. What can I use instead? (she cannot handle cornstarch at all.)

What types of flours are suitable?

I'll answer your second question first:
Can you find potato flour anywhere, that is really great as a thickener and really quick, all you do is cook the soup or gravy etc then dissolve the potato flour in some cold water and add at the end of the cooking, stir well and it thickens beautifully you just add more or less depending how thick you want it. The packets I get say they are produced in Germany and sold at our local shop so they may ship elsewhere, it keeps a long time so you can buy bulk. Our packet is produced by NBTY Europe Ltd.

The other option is soup is to cook in potatoes or rice (grains or flakes) and when you whizz it up it thickens with those in. I'll post my chicken soup recipe which Meg loves.

The other flour I use is made by Doves Farm, they do bread flour, self raising and plain packets and all made up of a ready mix of rice, potato, tapioca and maize and buckwheat in several combinations. Some have Xantham Gum already added, others don't but apparently that is the secret to it sticking together so you may need to buy that separately. They are a british based firm but may ship out www.dovesfarm.co.uk. You may find you need to add more liquid as these flours are drier, and they don't keep very long so it is a good excuse to eat all your cakes on the day you bake!!!
