GLUTEN-FREE DINNER ROLLS RECIPE
Please read through this post to learn how to make gluten-free rolls. I've done side-by-side testing with a few different gluten-free flour options. I had so much fun trying to get these gluten-free rolls as close to traditional dinner rolls as possible.
I know a lot of people are intimidated by having multiple gluten-free flours on hand. This gluten-free roll recipe is the BEST with the flours listed in the recipe card.
WHY YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE THESE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS
Texture - They're so light and fluffy you can't help yourself eating more and more!
Easy to make - With a handful of ingredients and a bit of patience, they're ready.
Tried and tested - This recipe has gone through extensive testing, and read on further for the flour options I've tested for you. Each flour option yields a slightly different texture but is all delicious. I know not everyone has the same flour, so I include as many flour options as possible.
INGREDIENTS IN GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS
One of the most essential ingredients is the flour. And you know as well as I do that gluten-free rolls need (good) gluten-free flour. So which should you use? I list a few notes below on flour options. Here's the complete list of ingredients:
White Rice Flour - This light flour is very mildly flavored, making it perfect for replicating the flavor of traditional white flour breads.
Potato Starch - Be sure to use potato starch, not potato flour. They are different.
Tapioca Starch - This flour is a thickener, holding the dough together.
Millet Flour - I love baking with millet flour! It has a sweet and nutty flavor and a light texture.
Salt - For flavor.
Xanthan Gum - This is a popular additive to gluten-free baked goods because it helps to replicate some of the properties of gluten.
Instant Yeast - One standard yeast packet or 2 ¼ tablespoons. There is no need for baking powder in this gluten-free rolls recipe because the rolls rely on yeast for leavening, not baking powder. Yeast is a natural leavening agent that produces carbon dioxide gas as it ferments, causing the dough to rise and become light and fluffy. Commercial yeast is 50 percent protein and is a rich source of vitamins B1, B2, niacin, and folic acid.
Sugar - Sugar feeds the yeast and adds a slight bit of sweetness.
Warm Water - Used for proofing the yeast for these gluten-free rolls. The water should be tepid, between 95°-110°F.
Egg - In baking, eggs act as a binder, holding everything together. (You can also brush the egg across the top for an egg rinse!)
Olive Oil - I like the flavor of olive oil, but any oil can be used in this recipe.
Vinegar - Either white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. This creates a reaction that makes super tender rolls.

GLUTEN-FREE FLOURS TO USE WHEN MAKING GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS
I used my gluten-free flour blend when I first made these gluten-free rolls. It worked fine, but I didn't get the texture I sought. So, I modified it slightly, adding some millet flour for a bit more substance.
Here's what I found out when I experimented. I tested several different flour blend options before settling on the winner, similar to my gluten-free bread recipe. Surprise-surprise!
- Option 1: 1 cup white rice flour + ½ cup tapioca starch + ½ cup potato starch (not flour) + ½ cup millet flour - this option is in the recipe card below. It delivered the BEST gluten-free dinner rolls. The texture and flavors were incredible, and the tops were nice and smooth.
- Option 2: For those that like to use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 you can directly substitute all the flours called for with 2 ½ cups (12 oz.) of Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour and add ¼ cup of warm water. The rolls are a bit heavier, but they are still delicious.
- Option 3: For those that like to use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 but still like a lighter roll, you can substitute all the flours called for with 10 oz. of Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten-Free Baking Flour + 2 oz. fine ground almond flour and add ¼ cup of warm water.
I haven't tested this gluten-free rolls recipe with blends other than what I've listed. If you try something else, please share it in the comments. I love to hear when readers find something new and you might inspire someone else with your kitchen creativity.
If you try another blend, you are doing so at your own risk, but please leave a comment below, letting me know what you think. I've heard good things about brown rice flour in these rolls, but I haven't tried it yet!
EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THESE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS
Baking pan - Use a 9x9 square or 9-inch round baking pan
Stand mixer - I like to use my KitchenAid stand mixer. You can also use a high-powered hand mixer or do it by hand.
Dough Hook (Optional) - If you're using a stand mixer, use the dough hook instead of the whisk.
HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS
- Add the dry ingredients to a mixing bowl for a mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients.
- Mix for 2 minutes or until well combined. Scrape the side of the bowl in between mixing.
- Scoop dough into nine equal portions into a greased 9x9 square or 9-inch round baking pan. Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
- Once the rolls have doubled in size, preheat your oven.
- Bake for 26 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
The total time, for me, was about half an hour. That includes mixing the ingredients, scooping the dough, and baking everything. Please see the recipe below for the complete ingredient list and instructions.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR MAKING THE BEST GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS
Here are my tips and tricks that work with this gluten-free dinner roll recipe:
Don’t substitute - Unless I specified above that I’ve tested it. This is important. If you substitute something, I can’t guarantee anything, and I can’t help you troubleshoot if something doesn’t work in your rolls. Even the sugar. That said, I love experimentation. If you're up for a challenge, try using vegan butter or whole psyllium husk and report back with your results.
Measure correctly and mix - When measuring gluten-free flours into measuring cups, spoon the flours into the measuring cups, then level. Never scoop the measuring cup into the flour. Make sure you mix the mixture fully, too.
Ingredients at room temperature work best - You can always run your eggs under warm water for a few minutes to keep the temperature up.
Prepare - Read the recipe instructions and get all ingredients out before you start. Make sure your yeast hasn't expired before starting, and you check the temperature of the water so you don't kill the yeast. This also minimizes prep time.
Rising - Ensure you give the dough enough time to rise. I usually cover mine with a kitchen towel and check back in about 30 minutes.
Use the correct temperature - Ensure your water is 95-110 degrees before adding the yeast. If you don’t have a thermometer, I suggest you get one.
Thermometer - I highly suggest you use a thermometer to check if the rolls are cooked. They should measure 200 degrees in the center. If not cooked, increase the time in 2-minute increments. I also suggest you use an oven thermometer, as ovens are inconsistent with the correct temperature.
TIPS TO SHAPE THE ROLLS
I like to use a large cookie scoop to get 9 equal portions. If you want them to be uniform, you can measure them so all 9 are the same grammage. You can roll them into a ball after you have them all the same size. Press the dough down, bring the left and right corners together in the middle, and pinch the ends together. Turn the dough upside down (pinched pieces will be on the bottom), move it in a circular motion, and do this for all 9 portions for perfectly round rolls. Try not to handle the dough too much.
Common Mistakes to Avoid for Perfect Gluten-Free Rolls
Incorrect Flour Blend - The wrong combination or proportion of gluten-free flour can produce undesirable results. Follow my recipe's recommended flour blend and proportions for the best texture and taste.
Mismeasuring Flours - Gluten-free flours should be measured accurately. Use a kitchen scale if possible, or spoon the flours into measuring cups and level them off to ensure you're not using too much or too little flour.
Omitting Xanthan Gum - Xanthan gum is crucial in gluten-free baking, as it helps mimic the elasticity and structure of gluten. Omitting it can result in crumbly and dense rolls. Make sure to include the specified amount of xanthan gum in the recipe.
Not Proofing the Yeast Properly - Ensure that the water used to proof the yeast is at the correct temperature (between 95°F-110°F) and that the yeast is active. If the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast; if it's too cold, the yeast won't activate.
Inadequate Rising Time - Gluten-free dough may require more time to rise than traditional wheat dough. Allow the dough to double in size during the specified rising time, crucial for achieving a light and fluffy texture.
Overmixing or Undermixing - Gluten-free dough should be mixed just until all the ingredients are well combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough texture, while undermixing may result in an uneven rise.
Using Cold Ingredients - Eggs and liquids should be at room temperature to promote proper yeast activation and dough consistency.
Skipping the Proofing Step for Flax Eggs - If you're using flax eggs as a vegan substitute, ensure that they are properly prepared (mixed with water and allowed to thicken) before adding them to the dough.
Improper Shaping - When shaping the rolls, handle the dough gently. Avoid overworking it, as this can lead to denser rolls. Follow the recommended shaping instructions.
Inaccurate Oven Temperature - Use an oven thermometer to check that your oven is at the correct temperature. Baking at the wrong temperature can affect the rise and browning of the rolls.
Not Monitoring Baking Time - Keep a close eye on the rolls during baking. Overbaking can result in dry rolls, while underbaking can lead to doughy centers. Use a thermometer to check for the correct internal temperature.
Skipping Cooling Time - Allow the rolls to cool a few minutes after baking before serving. This helps the texture to set properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
CAN I USE ACTIVE DRY YEAST TO MAKE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS?
Yes, you can use active dry yeast (not instant yeast). You'll want to proof your yeast before you add it to the mixing bowl. Mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a measuring cup and let it sit for 8-10 minutes. Add it to the batter when you add the other wet ingredients.
HOW DO YOU MAKE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS LESS DENSE?
It can be one of two things. Either your flour didn't have xanthan gum, or it was omitted. The other cause could be too much flour. Always try to measure your flour correctly. A kitchen scale is always best.
HOW DO YOU MAKE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS RISE?
The yeast in the recipe makes the rolls rise. Make sure to have the correct environment for this to occur. According to various articles, the desired dough temperature is 78°F.
HOW LONG DO HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE DINNER ROLLS LAST, AND HOW DO I STORE THEM?
You can store them in an airtight container for about 2-3 days and reheat them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. They're the best, however, when they've just come out of the oven. Don't place them in the refrigerator, as they'll dry out.
CAN I PREPARE THESE GLUTEN-FREE DINNER ROLLS AHEAD OF TIME?
Yes, you can. You have two options: either make the dough in advance and freeze it (see below for a recommendation), or you can bake it and then freeze it. All you need to do is defrost and bake them.
CAN I FREEZE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS?
Yes, you can freeze gluten-free rolls. After baking, allow the rolls to cool completely. Once cool, place them in an airtight container and freeze for up to three months or two months for a frost-free freezer.
When you are ready to enjoy these gluten-free dinner rolls, thaw them on the counter, drop them onto parchment paper, and reheat them in the oven before serving. I do this at 200 degrees Fahrenheit to get them warmed up.
CAN I FREEZE THE DOUGH?
Yes, you can freeze the gluten-free roll dough. After you mix the dough, scoop the dough into nine mounds in your baking dish, cover and freeze.
When you are ready to use, let your roll dough come to room temperature, then let it rise for an hour. It won't rise as high after being frozen, but it will rise some. Bake these gluten-free dinner rolls as directed.
I DON'T HAVE A STAND MIXER; WHAT CAN I USE?
You can mix the dough for these gluten-free dinner rolls with a high-powered hand mixer or by hand with a spoon. Just note that the dough is thick, and you'll have to keep mixing and scraping down the sides until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Honestly, if you're making a bunch for Thanksgiving dinner, I find the stand mixer worth it.
HOW DO YOU MAKE VEGAN OR EGG-FREE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS?
If you enjoy a vegan diet or can't consume eggs, you can substitute the egg for 1 flax egg + 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
Mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water to make a flax egg. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to thicken. Add the 1 teaspoon of baking powder with the dry ingredients and the flax egg with the other wet ingredients.
Please note that the rolls won't have the same texture as they would if you were to use eggs.
HOW DO YOU MAKE DAIRY-FREE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS?
Substitute the egg for 1 flax egg. See directions above.
WHAT CAN I SERVE THESE HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE ROLLS WITH?
They're great with butter and a cup of tea, but you can have them with any main dish. They're such a versatile side dish, especially for holiday feasts. I especially like the with:
Are King's Hawaiian rolls gluten-free?
No, King's Hawaiian rolls aren't gluten-free. Thankfully, I've got an alternative! Here's my recipe for gluten-free Hawaiian rolls. They're just sweet enough!
How To Par Bake These Rolls?
Parbaking gluten-free rolls involves partially baking the shaped rolls at a lower temperature for about half the recipe's recommended baking time. After cooling, you can store these partially baked rolls in the refrigerator or freezer. To serve, finish baking them at the original recipe's recommended temperature until they become golden brown.

Gluten-Free Rolls
This is the best recipe for gluten-free rolls! Tested and perfected to be light, fluffy, and easy to make. These gluten-free dinner rolls are naturally dairy-free and I've included a vegan option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (5.5 oz.) white rice flour
- ½ cup (2.5 oz.) potato starch (not flour)
- ½ cup (2.0 oz.) tapioca starch
- ½ cup (2.0 oz.) millet flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup warm water between 95°-110°F
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or oil of choice)
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
Optional:
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter or additional olive oil for brushing the tops
Instructions
- Add white rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, millet flour, salt, xanthan gum, yeast, and sugar to a large standing mixer mixing bowl. Mix for one minute, or until combined.
- Add the warm water, egg, oil, and vinegar and mix for 2-3 minutes, scrapping down the side of the bowl half way through.
- Remove the bowl from the stand mixer, and scrape the dough from the sides. Using a dough scoop, or a ⅓ cup measuring cup, scoop nine dough balls into a 9X9 square baking pan, lined with parchment paper (or well greased).
- Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. If you're in a colder environment, you can use the "proof" setting on your oven and rise the rolls in your oven. Note: If you're in a pinch for time you don't have to let them rise. They will still rise in the oven, just not as much.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with olive oil or melted butter (if you can do dairy) before baking. Bake rolls for 24-26 minutes or until brown on top and the centers are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and cool before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat before serving.
Notes
- When measuring gluten-free flours into measuring cups, spoon the flours into the measuring cups, then level. Never scoop the measuring cup into the flour.
- Flour Option: For those that like to use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 you can directly substitute all the flours called for with 2 ½ cups (12 oz.) of Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour and add an additional ¼ cup of warm water. Still add the xanthan gum. The rolls are a bit heavier, but they are still delicious.
- Flour Option: For those that like to use Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 but still like a lighter roll, you can substitute all the flours called for with 10 oz. of Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour + 2 oz. fine ground almond flour, and add an additional ¼ cup of warm water. Still add the xanthan gum.
- Vegan Option: If you enjoy a vegan diet or you can't consume eggs you can substitute the egg for 1 flaxegg + 1 teaspoon of baking powder. To make a flax egg, mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to thicken. Add the baking powder in with the dry ingredients and the flaxegg in with the other wet ingredients. Please note that the rolls won't have the same texture as they would if you were to use eggs.

Made this today. It’s Delicious and I like the texture. I used Bob’s Red Mill one to one flour. Instead of the millet and tapioca flour, I used gf flaxseed meal and extra gf potato starch, and I added an egg yolk to the wet mixture. Can’t wait to toast a slice tomorrow for breakfast. Thank you!

Hello,
Would love to try the recipe (and also for bread), but I cant get millet.
I can get sorghum.
Do you think that would work out the same way?
chrystal
I don't think it will work the same way as sourgum absorbs the liquid faster. One reader used ground flaxseed and loved the results.

I have 1/2 cup white rice flour and they are out of it at the stores. What do you recommend to use as a substitute for the other 1/2 cup? I have sweet rice flour, too, and other flours on hand.
Thanks!
Beth
chrystal
Hi Beth,
If you have another gluten free flour mix on hand, you can use that for the other 1/2 cup in place of the white rice flour. You can also try oat flour (I haven't tried this yet).

I am trying to find a substitute for white rice flour, I really want to make these rolls for Easter. I have King Authur's Gluten-Free All purpose flour, Can I substitute for Bob's Red Mill 1-1?
I also need a substitute for millet flour.
Because of shortages in the stores I don't think I can get Bob's Red Mill 1-1 flour blend.
I do have Almond flour, Hazelnut flour.and Glutinous white rice flour.
I really appreciate any suggestions you can give me.
chrystal
Hi Francine,
You can use 2 cups of King Arthur's flour and 1/2 cup Almond flour together. The rolls will be slightly heavier, but still good.
Best,
Chrystal
Beth
I made these with King Authur flour and almond flour. The dough was a little wet, I added an extra 1/4 cup liquid but they were great. Wet your hands.

My family won't eat an entire cake so I'm wondering if I can halve the recipe and use two 6" spring form. Do you think the 6" is too big and the cake will therefore be too thin.
Thanks,
Susan
chrystal
Hi Susan,
I'm not sure which cake recipe you are referring to, since you left this on my rolls recipe. But most my cakes can be halved. Simple bake in a 8x8 pan or one round cake pan.
Best,
Chrystal
Susan Finlay
The recipe says you can sub the flour mix for Bob's Red Mill and that you still add the xanthan. What about the potato starch and tapioca starch? they're mentioned in between the flours so i think they still go in. is that correct?
chrystal
Hi Susan,
You can replace all the flours with 2 1/2 cups of Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking flour (not the all purpose). The texture will be a little heavier, but it still works. With Bob's 1-to-1 you don't need to add the xanthan gum.

I would like to make these rolls plus some of your other recipes that call for GF Flour. I use Namaste flour.
What changes would I need to make for the recipes ?
Thank you!!

Hi Paula,
I haven't used Namaste but many of my readers use it in my recipes with success. Just make sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level it. You can always look at the comments of the recipes and see if anyone has used it.

Hi, Chrystal! I made these a few weeks ago and they were great. I couldn't get ahold of yeast for a while, but a friend dropped off a bunch of non-instant yeast today. I'd also love to try your bread recipe and cinnamon roll recipe with the yeast that I have now. How can I adapt this and your other recipes for regular old non-instant yeast? Thanks so much!
chrystal
Hi Maggie,
When you say non-instant yeast, is is dry active yeast and it doesn't say instant on it? If so, no problem. Instant yeast doesn't need to be dissolved before added, so an example is this rolls recipe where you add it straight in with the flour. For this recipe, simple make a yeast proof out of the active dry yeast by combining the warm water, 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Let it sit for 8-10 minutes, or until it's nice an foamy on top. Then add it to your dry ingredients with your egg, olive oil and vinegar. I do this method with my pizza crust.
Best,
Chrystal
I hope that helps,
Chrystal
Maggie
Yes, I meant active dry yeast. Ha, thanks for understanding! I made these today and they were absolutely fabulous. Even my husband got excited about them. I subbed one ounce of the white rice flour with brown rice flour. Thank you, Chrystal!

Hi Chrystal, the shops around my area in my city have sold out Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking flour - I managed to get the Gluten Free All Purpose flour, what proportions do I use if I can use this? Also, can I replace Xanthan Gum with Flaxseed Meal? Thanks!
chrystal
Hi Penny,
I haven't tested the all purpose in this recipe. I tend to not use it due to it containing garbonzo bean flour (chickpea). I also haven't tried using flaxseed meal in place of xanthtan.
Sorry I can't be more help,
Chrystal
Francine Singer
I would like to make this recipe, i do not have millet flour,is there a flour to substitute for this?
I also want to make your bread recipe, I don't have any flaxseed meal, do you have a suggestion for a substitution ?

Hi Chrystal!!!
Gorgeous site with multiple gorgeous recipes!!! I am so thrilled to find you and your mouth. watering recipe blog.
Yes, intimidated is the word! But I am Gluten Free 19 years and I am no stranger to always having a cluttering array of GF single flours, in an attempt to make some mix for some single recipe. Unfortunately I usually end up caving for all the individual purchased bread mixes, pancake mixes, muffin mixes brownie mixes etc. anyway.
I am so thrilled to find a site with all the type of recipes I would love to make, and mixes for them all in one place!!! Can you suggest what size jar / container / cannister I would need if I were to make and store all the three different GF mixes at once?
chrystal
Hi Tessa,
Thank you so much for the compliments. I am glad you like my site. I hope you find many recipes that you love. For my flour blend I like to store mine in a glass gallon wide mouth mason jar.

Have made these twice now for family members that are gluten sensitive. I have not been able to get millet here at all for months, so after a bit if research I ended up using Buckwheat. The first time I made them, I baked in convection 375, 22min, and brushed with olive oil, second go was conventional bake at 400, 24 min and brushed with butter. The second go was noticeably better looking...but honestly- tasted just as good!

Hi Chrystal. What is millet flour and where can i find it. I have never seen it.

I recently bought the different flours for your Gluten Free Blend. I mixed it together. What would be my measurements of flour for your dinner rolls or cinnamon rolls?
chrystal
If you made my blend without Millet flour, for the rolls and cinnamon rolls you use 2 cups of the blend + 1/2 cup millet flour. If it's the blend with the millet flour, you use 2 1/2 cups for the rolls.

These are amazing!!! Best gluten free diner rolls we’ve ever made!
Louise
I've just made these - I followed the recipe exactly but the mixture was pretty sloppy. No way I could get dough balls. I just put it all in the prepared pan and cooked it as a loaf. It turned out really well! I was planning to slice and freeze most of it for later, but my kids got hold of it. I have no more bread left...
Guess I'll be making this recipe a few more times!
chrystal
Hi Louise,
Sorry to hear that your dough didn't set up enough to scoop it into the pan for rolls. Did you swap out any of the ingredients? I'm glad you still liked it as bread. I based this recipe of my gluten free bread recipe, so it's really similar 🙂

I made these a few days ago with aquafaba to replace the egg they were not as fluffy as I would like but the taste was good I added sun dried tomato, garlic and parsley I also made cinnamon rolls I over cooked them but they were good added dried cherries I will make these again thanks
Carol
I made these rolls today and they are the best GF bread I have made in the 5 years I've been GF! I didn't have the single flours on hand and wanted to make them today so I used 10 oz of Cup4Cup and 2 oz of fine almond flour. I must also eat low sodium so I reduced the salt to 1/4 t. They turned out beautifully! So soft and tender! Thank you so much for this site, Chrystal! I really appreciate all of the hard work you have put into developing recipes and sharing them with others. I can't wait to try more of your recipes.

I used King Arthur 1 to 1 (no millet), butter and milk as half my liquid. I mixed in my bread machine till a softened texture. I don’t know how to put a picture here, but my son ate one before I could get a picture.

Hi Chrystal, I've made these dinner rolls twice now, and they are delicious. Both times I used the second flour option, with 10 oz of Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1, 2 oz of almond flour, and an extra 1/4 cup of warm water. Although I was careful to weigh my flours, the dough seemed very loose and I had to add an extra 1/2 cup of flour in order for the dough to hold its shape enough to be scooped into the baking pan. I think that next time I will skip the extra 1/4 cup of water and see if that will negate the need for extra flour.
Overall, my whole family loves these rolls and they are wonderfully easy to make. I added some fresh chopped thyme and rosemary to the flour mixture the second time I made them and that made them even better!

Just have to write and say THANK YOU! These rolls were outstanding, my non-gf family loved them. I use LOTS of your recipes because they're all delicious! Bloggers like you make being gluten free doable and actually enjoyable!

Hi there
I’m wondering if you would recommend something I can substitute for the potato starch - I know it’s weird but I can’t have any potato. If not, I will try some thing and let you know how it goes 🙂

Hi Nancy, another reader had success using arrowroot starch in place of the potato starch. It's the most similar ingredient to potato starch. Another option could be sweet white rice flour. come back and let me know how you do!
