Gluten-Free Replacements
For this Gluten-Free Yorkshire Pudding recipe, wheat flour is replaced with white rice flour and tapioca flour, and Xanthan gum is used as a gluten replacement. Tapioca flour is a powder that is made from the crushed pulp of the South American cassava root shrub. It is a great replacement for cornstarch as it acts as a thickener for food and creates a crispy crust as well as a chewy texture. Xanthan gum is a food additive that is commonly found is gluten-free food, and is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent, as it gives food elasticity and fluffiness that gluten would usually add.
