Substitution For Flour Recommendation Needed

Hi there,

I am wondering if someone can help me alter my recipe for scalloped potatoes. The recipe requires dredging the potato slices in about 2 tablespoons of flour before adding the hot milk mixture. Then the recipe bakes for 1 and 1/2 hours. Would cornstarch be okay or should I be concerned that it will not work well due to the long baking time? Would sweet rice flour be better? Any suggestions would be appreciated as I am not on a gluten-free diet, but am making this for a dinner with a friend who has Celiac.

Thank you so much!

Hi Lily,

Welcome! How sweet of you to be so concerned about cooking for your friend :)

I think cornstarch would work fine--I use potato starch in my scalloped potatoes because of a corn intolerance, and it works very well.

Hope the dinner goes well, and drop by anytime if you have any more questions. ;)

If you'd share the recipe for the scalloped potatoes, that'd be great! They sound yummy.

I use corn starch or rice flour interchangeably. I prefer rice flour if I want a more traditional thickener, like for cheese sauce or cream soups. I use corn starch for stir fries and curries mainly. But they both work.

I mix up what I call my General Purpose Gluten Free flour... its basically

3 cups white rice flour

3 cups brown rice flour

1 box Tapioca flour

1 box Potato Starch flour

For the boxes, its usually 16 oz. But depending on what one I buy it ends up being a bit different..

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
