I'm doing gluten free research so that I can bake some goodies for my neighbours daughter who's just been diagnosed with Coeliacs, the one flour that pops up in a lot of American recipes is Sorghum flour. I've managed to find the other types I need on www.ecodirect.ie and at various health stores, but have been trying to source Sorghum & Sweet Rice flour.<br /><br />Ironically, Sweet Rice Flour/Gelatinous Rice Flour is also known as Glutinous Flour, to add to your list of synonyms :)<br /><br />More synonyms for Sorghum: juwar/jowari/jowar flour<br /><br />I have been told to be careful about sorghum flour due to cross contamination, and if the packaging doesn't guarantee it to be gluten free, rather to replace it with potato starch or millet flour.<br /><br />Maize = Corn.<br />In South Africa, we call corn flour Maizena (it's the brand name, but most Saffers will refer to corn flour as Maizena)<br /><br />I've moved to Ireland recently and am still getting to know my way around and where to find things, so this post was great, thanks again :)<br />MandyMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
