You can use all purpose, gluten free baking flour to make many baked goods, including cookies. Use a recipe that calls for that specific brand of all purpose gluten free baking flour so that they turn out as good as possible.
I used oat flour when making cookies. Tasted just fine and everyone loved them. In fact they didn't notice any difference!
It's in the middle of the range of flour, that's why it's all purpose. It will work for anything, just not as well as cake or whole wheat that are at opposite ends of the range.
flour has more gluten; spelt is gluten free.
Whether or not coconut flour can be substituted with all-purpose flour depends on the recipe in question. Coconut flour does not have the protein called gluten that is in all-purpose flour, so their baking characteristics are quite different.
Technically all flour has gluten in it. Gluten is a protein found in food processed from wheat and other related species. Different kinds of flours have different levels of gluten (bread flour has high gluten vs. cake flour with low gluten). Self-rising flour is all-purpose flour with salt and some kind of leavening agent. So yes, self-rising flour, like all flour has gluten in it. It just doesn't have special amount added or taken away like bread or cake flour does. It has same gluten content as all-purpose flour.
icing sugar, trust me it works
I find most of the time an all purpose gluten free flour will work in most recipes. Different flours (rice, garbanzo, amaranth, etc.) have different tastes and different textures, so what you want to use depends on the recipe you are following. There is much information on comparing them to be found online. Good luck!
Gluten is a thickener and binding agent in baking, so gum is a substitute.
I would think you mean Madeira cake rather than Madeira wine. If so, Madeira cake is not gluten free unless it is made with a gluten free substitute for wheat flour.
Well you can still use flour just not wheat flour and it will be gluten free
Cake flour has less protein than all-purpose flour not less gluten. If you are baking for someone who needs gluten free, Cake flour will not help. You will need a combination of tapioca flour, potato starch, xanthum gum, rice flour, and possibly others. There is also a product called Bob's Red Mill all-purpose Gluten free flour that works pretty well as a replacement to regular flour.
Bob's Red Mill Corn flour is gluten free.
Yes, but you can buy gluten-free flour.
Yes. Unbleached flour is a pale tan color.
