Hi,
I'm wondering what you would suggest to replace the potato starch and sorghum flour? I was thinking possibly arrowroot starch for the potato starch? And coconut flour for the sorghum? Or possibly Amaranth flour? But, I don't know my flours and starches well enough yet to know if those would be good alternatives.
Thank you!
Hi Terah,
I think you are on the right track. You may have to do some experimenting. Off the top of my head here are some mixes to try:
3/4 cup GARBANZO FLOUR
1/2 cup TAPIOCA STARCH
1/4 cup MILLET FLOUR
1/4 cup FAVA BEAN FLOUR
OR
3/4 cup GARBANZO FLOUR
1/3 cup ARROWROOT STARCH
2 tablespoons COCONUT FLOUR
2 tablespoons AMARANTH
1/4 cup FAVA BEAN FLOUR
Try one of these out and let me know : )

Thank you so much! I'll try them and see what happens!
No luck on locating fava bean flour at either of the local health food stores. Is there a substitute I could make for that, in a potato starch free version? Thanks!
