The Story Behind My Award Winning* Gluten Free Flour Blend
As a scientist and mum of a child with coeliac disease, food allergies and intolerances I developed my unique whole grain gluten free flour without rice to nourish her with wholesome nutritious food.It’s important for me to know that she is getting vital nutrients along with protein and fibre whenever she eats, and having found no suitable flour blends on the market I created my own.
Now I know that whatever I make for her, from pasta to bread, cakes and pastry she is getting some goodness with every mouthful.
On its own it can be used to make:
- Bread
- Biscuits
- Crepes
- Flatbreads (wraps)
- Pasta
- Pizza bases
- Pastry (shortcrust, rough puff, choux and Danish) and more
With the addition of baking powder (1tsp per 100g) it can be used to make:
- Cakes
- American pancakes
- Scones
- Soda breads
- Waffles and more
One bag of flour is all you need for all your baking.

How do I store it?
The flour should be stored in an air tight container. It has a shelf life of 12 months (current batch August 2022) but this can be extended by storing the flour in the freezer.
Is it tested gluten free?
It is very important to me that anything I create is completely gluten free with no trace of contamination. For this reason the flour is manufactured in a totally gluten free environment. It is also tested for gluten using the R5 – Sandwich ELIZA (Mendez method) in an independent laboratory.
You can view the latest test certificate by clicking on the text below…
Being a small independent manufacturer I can’t afford to pay for the Crossed Grain Symbol.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Unfortunately the current batch is in temporary packaging which is not recyclable.

Customer Reviews
The best gluten-free flour I've used...
My order arrived this morning and I've just tried my first loaf with Free From Fairy flour and the recipe from her website... for the first time in years I have proper brown bread! I used aquafaba (liquid from a tin of butter beans) instead of the eggs and it worked perfectly. It looks like real bread, tastes like real bread, wonderfully crusty with soft, light inside and a good, tasty but not overpowering flavour. And easy to make. After so many attempts with various blends that never came out right, I'm absolutely delighted.
Edit: After trying a few more recipes I can confidently say this is the best gluten free flour I have used. It's easy to work with and tastes great. It makes the perfect crust for quiche with the shortcrust pastry recipe in Vicki's ebook - maybe even better than wheat! It's not just "good for gluten free", this is seriously good flour in its own right. I now look forward to making FFF flour a regular purchase.
I really like that your flour is wholegrain. I have never been very happy with using white gluten free flour, and I didn't feel good after eating it so I was delighted to find your flour
It's much better than your competitors.
I have tried loads of recipes with it. I love all your recipes and have tried lots of them. I recommend your flour to anyone interested in gluten free cookery.
Moistest Cake I've Ever Made!
Just made a ginger cake using your flour and it’s the moistest cake I’ve ever made. Really impressed with your flour. My husband is the one that is a celiac and he’s loving it x
The flour is fantastic. My daughter is a coeliac, my husband and I are not but we really enjoy the bread we make from the flour. We don"t have to worry about cross contamination, the bread is delicious!
It is better than competitors for making bread in a breadmaker with a few simple ingredients.
Brilliant wholemeal flour full of goodness.
I've made scones and brownies so far with this flour and it's brilliant. So good to know there are so many healthy grains in it making it definitely worth buying
Delicious and nutritious free from flour.
I've use this flour to make the family pancakes which were delicious and have every intention to use it making pastry too...anyone who's gluten free will probably share my fear of making gluten free pastry but The Free From Fairy has also written an ebook on how to make pastry with her flour...It's on my to-do-list for 2017 to master the art of pastry once and for all!
I love your flour. I have used both self-raising and plain flour and I would continue to buy even if the price increased.
It performed just as well as others I've tried and I didn't need to use any additional raising agents
I've made sausage rolls, mince pies and banana bread with it so far.
Very tasty and well worth the money!
Having met Vicki at a Free From food show, we decided to try her flour as I was also concerned about the amount of rice in my gluten free daughter's diet. It did seem expensive compared to some supermarket flours (although they have rice flour in) but it is well worth the money. The flour is tasty and hasn't crumbled like others have. We recently made cupcakes to take to a party as between them my children are gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, egg, banana, kiwi, tomato and sulphite free. We used a recipe from Vicki's website and made very tasty chocolate cupcakes. Well worth the money and this is what I will be using going forward for the kids.
Excellent. I'm allergic to a protein in wheat and rice so this was a godsend!
Performed really well.
Coffee and walnut cake, carrot cake, Yorkshire puddings.
Amazing baguettes!
I've been wanting to try the flour for a long time. I got some a few weeks ago and only just gotten around to making some. I followed the bread baguette recipe on the website, so easy to follow and the best bit.. They rose! I've tried so many times to do bread and don't always get a rise, this was amazing. I made a diy baguette pan as I didn't have one, so they are rustic looking. They taste amazing and not a bit gummy.

Best GF bread ever! Have tried processed brands but been unhappy with all the added rubbish. Have also tried making my own from other GF flours but the taste was poor. The loaf I just made from Free From Fairy flour was just lovely, texture, taste everything, and has frozen really well. So simple to make too.. just need a high-sided loaf tin now!

The Free From Fairy flour is amazing. Its easy to work with and the results are fantastic. Having a corn/gluten/oat free need, this flour is the only flour that my daughter can use. This flour creates tasty, delicious meals and enabled my daughter to have a Christmas like any other. I made sausage rolls and scotch eggs as well a Christmas pudding, mince and apple pies. These were enjoyed by all, not just my daughter and comments received were that you would never know they were free from foods. With her birthday looming another free from fairy flour cake is on its way.
Without the Free From Fairy flour my daughter would miss out on many yummy meals, puddings and foods.
Highly recommended.

I got this at a food festival a few months back and now m putting in an order… The best free from flour I have come across (and I’ve tried a lot!) it has such a nice taste and cooks well. Very impressed.
Chloe Edges –
I first tried this flour at a blogging event. I knew that some flour had been provided and I asked the organiser at the end of the day what had happened to it. I was told it was used in all the cakes and biscuits we’d been eating all day. You Are Kidding Me I said! The flour is so good I had had no idea. I truly could not tell the difference (and I’m a picky madam that generally avoids the gluten free option as they’re always dry and gritty).
So now I recommend Free From Fairy flour on every blog post/recipe where I suggest a gluten free flour can be used if needed and I have every confidence that it will work perfectly every single time.

FANTASTIC flour, for those of us that are Rice/Gluten intolerant it’s a game changer. To get anything rice free is a joy. I use it to make sauces, for example cheese sauce and it doesn’t leave an unwelcome flavour as other gf ingredients do. I must use it more, but I’m a novice/lazy baker. Highly recommend, a great product.
Steph (verified owner) –
Great product! Reliably tasty, works really well as GF substitute in normal recipes.

I purchased this at Christmas and made a fantastic fruit cake. I have since made scones, muffins, biscuits. I love this flour and am thankful for that more wholesome feel rather than the white gluten free flours in the supermarket. Yes it does cost a bit more but the results have been worth it.
I have just ordered my second lot and am looking forward to experimenting more with my sugar free baking.
As I’m gluten and lactose free it’s really hard to get anything when I’m out. I can now bake healthy versions and take them with me.
I never have bread as not keen on gluten free so have also purchased the bread mix to try. I will let you know how that goes.

I decided to start baking my own bread recently. Being coeliac and vegan it was difficult finding a decent brand without egg and that had more than 6 slices that would instantly break up when getting it out the bag. I came across this site and thought I would give it a go. I ordered 2 packets to start. My first 2 attempts failed. This did not put me off. I invested in a tin with a lid to ensure I would eventually nail it. I then ordered 6 packs. I am so glad I persevered as this is the best bread ever. I do not add sugar to the recipe as I avoid it in my diet and it is so good!! It toasts perfectly. Kudos to you free from fairy. I will never buy shop bought bed again.

Wow! What a lovely comment to read. And kudos to you for not giving up. That really is the key to gluten free baking! Brilliant 🙂

I came across Free From Fairy’s wholegrain flour and have been really impressed with the results. I run a catered chalet business and we have many dietary requirements. I use this flour for baking and would definitely recommend it to any coeliacs looking for a wholesome flour. I have incorporated it into my beetroot brownie recipe, which is both vegan and gluten free, you can find it here on my blog: https://alikats.eu/recipes/2019/9/5/seriously-fudgey-gluten-free-beetroot-brownies/
Please feel free to share the recipe.
