Gluten Free Corn Substitutes

 

To substitute 1-tablespoon cornstarch:

Use:  A blend of potato starch and arrowroot powder (3:1 or 1/2 cup arrowroot to 1 cup potato starch).

To substitute corn syrup, light and dark:

Use:  1 for 1 with honey or molasses. Recipes using corn syrup will be less sweet, and the finished recipe will have different flavor characteristics.

 

To substitute Xanthan Gum:

Use:  Gluten-Free Guar Gum in half the amount of Xanthan Gum.
Example:  1 teaspoon of Xanthan Gum = 1/2 teaspoon of Guar Gum.

As a general rule, unless specified by a recipe, use 1/2 teaspoon on Gluten-Free Guar Gum per cup of gluten-free flour.
