Help, I'm stumped! I was going to make the biscuits, so first I made the brown rice flour mix. It didn't come out anywhere near the same weight as yours. All my ingredients seemed to weight more than the weights specified on the recipe. I measure by weight very carefully and checked my scale make sure it was weighing correctly. I don't know where to go from here. Any help would be very appreciated.
I'm not sure I'm following...what is not weighing the same? You mean when you weight a cup of the mix, it's not 116g? I don't even use volume measurements - so when I "convert" a recipe, I use the grams per cup to convert it to weight. If something calls for 1 1/2 cups, I weight out 116*1.5g or 164g.
I obviously don't understand the volume/weight instructions. I still a novice at baking. When I made the recipe for the Brown Rice Flour mix (using weigh measures) I thought the "Brown Rice Flour Mix(116g/1 cup)" in the recipe meant that 1 cup of the flour mix should weigh 116 grams. I'm confused that 1 cup of the flour mix doesn't weigh 116g and 1 ½ cups doesn't weigh 164g, but it sounds like I should just make the biscuits by using the weigh of the ingredients and not look at the volume at...
Depending on how compacted or fluffed up your flour/mix is, you will get different amounts for the same volume. So, if you fluff up your flour and measure a cup, it may be very "light". Likewise, if you scoop up a cup, it may compact and be "heavy". I was always getting very inconsistent baking results with gluten free flour until I started measuring by weight. I just put a bowl on the scale and start measuring. Not cups involved.
I made the biscuits today using weight measures(ignoring the cups). I didn't have much milk so I substituted soy milk and coconut creamer. They turned out wonderful! I can make a decent drop biscuit, but haven't had a real, true flaky biscuit is several years. They were sooo good I'll admit to gobbling up three before they were even cool. I have leftover ham from Easter so I'm going to make some ham and cheese biscuit sandwiches. Yum! Thank you so much for your help!
Yay! I've been nervously waiting for an update hoping they turned out for you! I'm sooooo glad they did! And you have me drooling over the idea of a ham and cheese biscuit!
Ashley, I'm not sure, but I'll send up a flare ... you can also post a new topic on our Food And Cooking forum to ask this specific question. And welcome to KFA! I take it you manage coconut/nut/soy and diary allergies?
Is there anything I can substitute for the Potato Starch in the Flour Mix.? I'm trying to find something my whole family can enjoy for the holidays, and this covers almost everything, but my mom is allergic to potatoes.
Hi Mommy Anderson - yes, you should be able to swap out the potato starch 1:1 with cornstarch if that is safe for you. Otherwise, I'd recommend using more arrowroot starch. I hope the recipe works for your family. These are my absolute favorite biscuits!
