Can you use any type of ground grains in place of flour?

November 162008

I’m gluten intolerant and vegetarian (not vegan) and I’ve been trying to find gluten free recipes that are still healthy and use whole grains. Do you know If I could just grind up any whole grain I have (like millet or amaranth) and use it in place of flour?

Sure, and not just grains, but nuts and pulses as well, but every flour has different properties. If you’re gluten intolerant, you’re going to be using a lot of different flours nobody else really bothers with.

Rice flour is pretty good on its own for some things, such as to thicken gravy and so on (you can also use cornflour/cornstarch or arrowroot for this). I’ve made convincing English-style pancakes/crepes with rice flour as well. You can use coarser ground rice for a semolina substitute - add a little nutmeg to get the taste closer to the wheat version.

Almond flour is great in sweet pastry and cake mixes. There’s obviously no gluten, so you may need to add xanthan gum. This applies to any wheat-flour substitute used in a recipe where it needs to rise.

Besan/chickpea flour/garbanzo bean flour makes a great batter.

Does anyone know a recipe for potato cakes/ farls that uses Potato Flour (am gluten/wheat free). Thank you.?

I know how to make potato cakes but it doesn't use flour at all! Only leftover cold mashed potatoes eggs, onions n salt/pepper…You can also do this with left over cream style corn, mackerel or salmon. Yummy! It's the way I've always done them, my grandma showed me how when I was a lil girl..
Make mashed potatoes, now they have to be cold, left over from the day before preferably. It's important that they are thick. Anyway add 2 or 3 eggs depending on how many potatoes you have. Saute some onion and drain oil, stir the cooked onions in there. Salt n pepper. Mix very well, if they are not sticking together then add more egg… Take a big spoon and sorta form a patty, put it in a hot skillet. Only enough oil to film the bottom, fry till firm and brown, flip and brown… You may add a lil oil per batch…
