Gluten Free Flour

So last weekend my sister and I had a baking extravaganza day. Sadly for her, she has a gluten intolerance.. so we were driven by necessity to make the recipes gluten free.
 With the help of some really great cookbooks, we stumbled across a recipe to make a gluten free flour...

Gluten Free Flour: (will produce 6 cups of flour)
2 1/2 cup rice flour
1 cup potato starch
1 cup sorghum flour
1 cup tapioca flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup chick pea flour (aka. garbanzo bean flour)
2 tbsp xanthan gum

All of the above ingredients we were able to find at our local Bulk Barn.
After making our gluten free flour, we proceeded with substituting it into recipes.
My favorite one that we made was the gluten free pizza perogies!
Following the directions on this blog for perogy dough, we substituted in the flour and continued to work the dough up the same.
 For the filling, all I needed to do was ensure that the meats that I bought were gluten free and we were in business!
