There are 8 children in our town of 150K who have confirmed Celiac Disease. To say the least it is misunderstood and or unheard of by most of the population in Panama. Therefor, shopping for gluten-free products is difficult. Our stores do not stock any gluten-free staples. What items I do need, which are necessary, must be shipped from a specialty store in Panama City. Between transportation costs and product costs, a $5 bag of all purpose gluten free flour swells to upwards of $15.
Given a bit of invention coupled with luck I have found my local Chinese rice flour cuts well into the Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free flour - practicably tripling the amount without any loss of quality. HURRAY! It works well in pancakes, baked goods, coatings for frying, even doughnuts - awe sweet, mouthwatering doughnuts. But that's a later post.
