Has anyone tried gluten free flours for making cake batter?

I'm just thinking it may be gluten responsible for the way it bobbles up and sticks in hair

If anyone hasn't tried it before, I will let you know the results of my experiment after the 8th next week. I'll be making a few buckets worth with rice flour

thanks hon, well I've bought ten bags of it so I'll be sure to give it a thorough testing

I mean...I've used it for ACTUALLY making cakes as my ex wife has Celiacs, but not for WAM no. Gluten is a protein that is a binder, so you may be on to something. Usually gluten free recipes call for xanthan gum or something similar to act in that capacity since there is no gluten.

Also, it IS a good thing to consider with the recipient, as the ex is SOOO sensitive, that skin contact makes their skin look like they have leprosy...

I've not used it for WAM but I have had a similar response as Potatoman-J when cooking with it.

I did find the the self-raising version of wheat free flour did not rise as much as standard self-raising wheat versions. So I suspect this may have a bearing on your mixture ratios.

Gluten free flour doesn't stick to hairs at All and is easy to wash off and away providing it's not lumpy as hell

And we will be watching closely!

Besan flour (chickpea flour) is brilliant for making custard pies. It's yellow for a start! Sticks like flour/water paste, but washes off really easily with no evil gluten balls pulling your hair out! Slight disadvantage is that it smells a bit like an onion bhaji. But as an onion bhaji fan, I am ok with this!

can confirm now that gluten is responsible for the nightmare getting normal flour out of hair etc

my rice flour cake batter worked amazingly and washed out a dream. nothing left over.

Oh my god stop!!! I want dosas so bad now!!
