What is barley flour? Can white flour be used?
What is barley flour? Can regular flour be used?
I substitute flours lots I use buckwheat flour for alot of things because I can't have wheat and gluten and rice right now so I think you should be able to use regular flour.
NO! Do not use regular flour as it contains gluten and is not allowed if allergic to wheat.
Can I use spelt flour instead of barley flour? My son is allergic to wheat but not glutten. I've recently discovered spelt flour is not a problem for him.
Barley DOES contain a small amount of gluten. However doesn't have wheat so may be used for someone with wheat allergy-however not someone who is gluten intolerant.
Can you substitute rice flour or a combination of non wheat, not gluten flour?
I just made these using oat flour instead of barley flour...my husband and I loved them!
why is this recipe asking for baking powder twice?
baking powder is listed twice because in combination with oil and water, it is a substitute for eggs in the recipe. ;-)
