A Type of Gluten Free Flour
Honestly? It tastes like nothing. Well, nothing bad. It has a very mild, slightly sweet, almost nutty vibe. But it won’t fight with your chocolate chips or your cinnamon. It’s the quiet friend at the party who just gets along with everyone. Can we appreciate that for a second?
And it’s not grainy. You know that feeling when you eat gluten-free pizza crust and it feels like sandpaper? Sorghum says, “Not today, sandpaper.” It’s smooth. It’s polite. It’s the flour you can actually fool your non-gluten-free friends with. (Go ahead. Don’t tell them. It’s our little secret.)
The one thing to watch out for
Okay, real talk: sorghum flour is a bit thirsty. Not as bad as coconut flour, but it likes a little extra liquid. So if your dough looks dry, just add a splash of water or milk. No big deal. Think of it as the flour that likes a hug.
Also, it’s best when paired with other flours. Use it as half of your flour mix. Like, one part sorghum, one part white rice flour, plus a little starch. That combo is gold. Seriously, write that down. (Or just bookmark this page. I’ll wait.)
