Substituting Gluten Free Flours

Sometimes it's difficult to find the gluten free flours that a recipe calls for, or sometimes you are just simply out of that particular flour that you need so you have to make a substitute.  When substituting flour (of any kind) it is always best to measure by weight and not by cups.  That way you get a more consistent result.

Here is a good explanation as to why this is important:
