White Flour Mix

Light, fluffy and white are the qualities of white pastry flour this mixture mimics.
Just be certain to use potato starch, not potato flour for the mixture.
Potato flour is the entire potato ground and dried. Potato starch is
solely the starch- light and smooth.
If you substitute flour for starch, nothing will work.
Then add the tapioca flour- for this flour the words are
interchangeable, just for confusion. So tapioca flour is the same thing
as tapioca starch.
Lastly to provide a bit of structure, I blend in sweet rice flour (aka
glutinous rice flour) a high starch flour that sticks together nicely.
If you have ever eaten sushi, this is the rice that they use to create
those pretty bites.
I use this starch mixture to lighten the baked goods to a texture
similar to white wheat flour. It is not impossible to use just this for
all your baked goods but the crumbly tender qualities you hope for will
be harder to achieve.
So use a bit of the whole grain flour mix as well even if you love white, white baked goods.

Blend together all flours till one color in a large container.
Please weigh this out, it is far more accurate.
