finely ground rice flours
Some of you have mentioned the grittiness of rice flours that you grind yourselves in order to save money. Have you tried shopping for rice flour, sweet rice flour and tapioca flour at oriental supermarkets? It costs about $.60 to $.70 for one pound of these flours at these stores and they are ground extremely fine. I used to spend double and triple that amount at the local health food store! You can also buy large quantities of cornstarch at excellent prices. It might be worth having a look and seeing if these flours give your bakedgoods a better consistency. Cheryl Gartenberg
I second both of Cheryl's comments about purchasing from elsewhere than an HFS. While prices in Canada are little higher than 70 cents per pound, it is still far lower than at the HFS and more often than not, even at the super markets and warehouse stores. As for corn starch - my dh brought home a 50 lb sack of corn starch for $15. That's 30 cents per lb. BL ****************************** * v'col netivotcha shalom * ******************************
