Bette Hagman’s Four Flour Bean Mix
This wonderful Four Flour Bean Mix will substitute 1 to 1 for traditional all-purpose flour once you add the right amount of xanthan gum (rule of thumb is 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum per cup of flour mix). You can buy the component flours & combine them yourself, or you can buy the premade mix from a few different sources. I have generally bought it from Authentic Foods Gluten Free Supermarket. Check it out here:

Do you think you could replace the cornstarch with potato starch? I have a corn sensitivity. Thanks!

Hi, Julie,
I bet you could. I have never tried it, but I bet you could. I now use Better Batter All Purpose Gluten-free flour. Maybe that would work well for you. It’s worth checking out. http://www.betterbatter.org.
Warmly,
