What did you use for gluten-free flour?
Hi, Jan. I use a variety of flours. One of the easiest is Tom Sawyer’s all purpose flour mix, which you can read about in this post: http://glutenfreekathy.wordpress.com/2007/09/15/easy-and-quick-dinner-chile-relleno-casserole/. I also make some mixes when called for in a recipe, usually using flours like sorghum, rice, potato and bean.
