Cup4Cup Multipurpose Flour, 3 Pounds, Certified Gluten Free, Dairy Free Flour, 1:1 All Purpose Flour Substitution, Non-GMO, Kosher, Made in the USA

This is my favorite gluten free flour, and I've tried a lot of them. Since it's a 1-1 match, it's super easy to use, and it works with almost any recipe. I've made everything from pizza crust and dumplings to pastries and cakes. And people don't even know that they're eating gluten free baked goods, it's that good. They've also gotten rid of the milk powder ingredient, so it's dairy-free as well, which is a huge plus.

This is the ONLY gluten free flour I've found that is delicious. The others all have an after-taste, or a gritty feel in your mouth. This truly does measure cup-for-cup and doesn't require additives like gums and other unappealing ingredients. It's literally a cup of this instead of a cup of flour. I can't tell the difference, and I'm VERY picky when it comes to baked goods.

Cup4cup is the closest gluten free substitute I’ve found to regular all purpose flour. I’ve used it in beer bread, cookies, sauces, breaded meat and it works very well in all circumstances. It’s not perfect in beer bread, but miles ahead of the few other GF flours I’ve tried.Admittedly there are way more brands of GF all purpose flour out there than I’ve tried. I’ve only used three, but Cup4cup is the very clear winner. Lots of people seem to have a definite favorite and there’s no consensus I can discern. I might revise this if I stumble upon a something better. I also haven’t tried any of the GF pastry flours, that may solve my problem with the bread.Three things I’m not thrilled with: 1) Cup4cup contains dairy. I try to be dairy free since I’m intolerant, and it was not clear until I read the ingredient list carefully that milk powder was an ingredient. A lot of people intolerant to gluten are also intolerant to casein in dairy. So I’d make that fact of containing milk a little more obvious on the packaging especially since it’s not an “expected” ingredient. (The dairy didn’t end up being very noticeable to me after using it, but it may be for others.) 2) Cup4cup is super expensive, even by the standards of other gluten free all purpose flours, which is priced far higher than wheat all purpose flour. So it’s some pricey stuff and I’ve never really understood why since the ingredient list isn’t terribly exotic. There is no real cost benefit even in the expensive domain of gluten free foods of making your own baked goods if you’re using Cup4cup, you’re clearly baking for enjoyment only. That’s ok for the hobbyist chef, but paying more in the end than the prepared foods is a little bizarre. 3) Cup4cup has been difficult to consistently source during the pandemic quarantine. Granted, there was a huge run on flour of all types, but my local store just pulled Cup4cup entirely after selling out. Out of four Amazon orders, two were in stock and shipped next day, one was only available through AmazonFresh and the last one was through regular Prime but took two weeks to ship. Things appear back to normal availability online, but my local grocery store hasn’t brought it back.Bottom line is that I’m using Cup4cup until I land on something better, if that ever happens. I’ll still search other stuff out because of the high price and availability. But the quality is pretty darn good.

This used to be the best 1 to 1 gf flour. Then in 2024 they changed the ingredients and took out milk powder and replaced the corn starch with rice flour. My beautiful gf chocolate chip cookies that were the best cookies around became pale, non spreading and slightly gritty. It took a while before I discovered what the problem was. I will never use this flour again because of these results. I don’t need anything but gluten free. But they want to lump people with all food allergies together . It’s hard enough to be gluten free now I can’t even have a decent cookie. Good-bye Cup 4 Cup.

Since going gluten free over 3.5 years ago, I have struggled with finding a flour mix to bake with that didn't leave an after taste in the baked goods or had poor consistency. I read an article online that mentioned Cup4Cup and decided to try it, even though it is quite pricey. I was not disappointed. This flour mixture virtually ensures you can bake or cook gluten free and have it taste like the "real" thing. Before going gluten free, I was known as the Queen of Gravies and I remember the first time I made gravy with a gluten free flour mix and I cried as the gravy was a horrible gelatinous mass that was simply not edible. Cup4cup changed that as well - I now have re-emerged as the Queen of Gravies and Sauces and no one can tell the difference. Sauces and gravies come out smooth and have no flunky taste and they hold over well as leftovers too. With this flour mix, you can follow any recipe you see in a book or online and you do not need to add extra ingredients such as xanthan gum. You can cook, bake and follow recipes the same as anyone else and not feel like you are being left out of things being gluten free. I know the price is expensive and it has not come down in the 2.5 years since I started using it, but it really is worth it for the quality and versatility. The only downside is that the company does not recommend using it for yeast bread baking. I would agree. I have tried it with yeast bread recipes in my never ending pursuit to find a decent bread like the breads I used to enjoy, and although it doesn't ruin a recipe, it will not make your yeast breads turn out any better as if you were using wheat flour.

This is my favorite GF flour - have used other brands and they don't give the same finish this does. It is not as gritty as some of the others, I find it easier to use this one with close to same results as regular flour. I highly recommend it!
