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 (new batch January 2021) 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 ELIZA tested to ensure there is no contamination.
Being a small independent manufacturer I can’t afford to pay for the Crossed Grain Symbol.
Is the packaging recyclable?
Yes, the flour packets are made from paper so please recycle them.
How much is the postage?
£2.99 flat rate for orders up to £25 to all UK mainland addresses.

Customer Reviews
This is the best gluten free flour I have found and about the only one that works well in my breadmaker. One member of my family is seriously allergic to gluten and dairy and eggs. This flour is the perfect answer.
It is much better that competitors and I've made bread in the breadmaker with it.
I've been following Vicki for some years via her website
The flour is amazing, the best flour bar none. And I've used a few.
I've made bread, cakes, sponges and a whole lot of other stuff you'd normally think of with flour, thickening, cooking, and general baking. I don't do a huge amount as I'm single and like to watch my weight, so I resist making cakes apart from when I've got the house open to my Church and they love the cakes as I make them all GF and people never seem to realise that we're all eating the same thing, but they taste so good. Highly recommend, to quote an old advert, "Why choose cotton, when you can have silk.?"
The Free from Fairy Flour is exceptional and has transformed my gluten free baking for my daughter with coeliac disease.
Both the self raising and plain flours perform much better than others meaning that I can use them just like wheat based flours. Most importantly they are actually gluten free rather than having low levels of gluten. My daughter remained unwell for years after diagnosis and moving to a gluten free diet and only eliminating processed food and commercially produced substitutes has resulted in her being well again.
I use the flours in all my recipies - cakes, biscuits, breads, pastry, batter, sauces and gravy. My non coeliac extended family also thoroughly enjoyed their gluten free Christmas!
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.
No rice = no arsenic
I've been desperate to find a gluten free flour that doesn't use rice flour (I'm concerned about arsenic levels in rice, and the amount of rice flour used in gluten free food). I was so excited when I found this flour. I've used it so far for cakes, waffles and breads and all have been amazing. An added bonus is that it's wholegrain. I love it. I can highly recommend it.
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.
I was looking for a wholemeal gluten free flour and this flour ticks all the boxes! It is very tasty and doesn’t give that ‘white carbs’ suger rush you get with some gluten free flours.
I’ve also used Dove’s and it performs just as well. I think things made with free-from-fairy flour have more flavour and texture.
I have tried bread, pancakes and my favourite courgette and lime cake.
Fantastic flour to work with...
Just started using your flour (plain and self raising). I'm not a confident cook but followed your Victoria sponge recipe exactly and it was fantastic.
Love it--don't use anything else now.
Other flours are mostly rice based which is bad news! I really like the honesty which Vicki shows in all her products and any communication I have with her
I've made so many things with it! Victoria Sponge, Mince pies, little marzipan cakes, and yesterday I made an amazing ginger cake from Glutenfreecuppatea :-)) If I was clever enough I would post a picture! Nothing made with wheat in our house!
Lovely Tasty Quick Bread Alternative!
This is a lovely tasty and quick bread alternative, thank you Vicki. I like to make it alongside a 'picky tea' or with soup or a stew. My only problem with the recipe is the 'leave to cool' part! 🙂 I can never resist the warm end of a fresh baked loaf!

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.

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.

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.
