I too have found the Chinese grocery to have far cheaper flours.  Be aware,
however, that Asian white rice flour is generally _much_ finer than the
Ener-G or Arrowhead Farms types of flour. This is fine (and it makes wonder-
ful cakes, e.g.) but these flours may absorb liquids more and thus the
recipe may need to be altered a bit.

I too have found that nearly any recipe will work using Hagman's GF blend;
I was surprised and very happy to find that even basic roll out sugar cookie
dough works with it.  This will make upcoming holiday baking a lot easier to
deal with. Lisa
