I personally really like to use arrowroot flour, but it quite
expensive most places. However, oriental food stores in my area
(Lafayette, IN) carry it for about $1 something/lb. Many other
gluten-free flours/starches are much less expensive in these stores
as well. For example, potato starch, tapioca starch, white rice flour,
moth flour (no - it's made from moth _beans_!), and gram flour
(made from garbonzo beans; not graham flour, which is made from
wheat) are all readily available and fairly inexpensive. Though
I want to support the local organic health food store, this stuff
costs 1/4 - 1/3 of what the health food store charges.
If you haven't checked in oriental markets in your area, you
may want to do that before deciding some items are too expensive.
Best wishes,
