Gluten Free Flour (Plain)

After becoming gluten intolerant last year I lost my passion for baking as the gf flours I was using did not give good results at all. Having tried to persevere with various brands of shop bought gf bread (and cakes and biscuits!) for over a year I was fed up with the flavours and textures and increasingly concerned about all the strange sounding additives and high sugar content they contained. I had followed the free from fairy page on Facebook for a while and I finally decided to buy some flour. Today made the baguettes and the banana bread from the recipes on the free from fairy website. What a revelation! They are simply fantastic. It was so good to be able to eat a tasty healthy homemade bread with my homemade soup again, and as my husband liked the bread too we are not preparing two different meals which is a bonus. Thank you so much Vicki I will be buying much more of your flour and am looking forward to trying more of your recipes. You have reignited my passion for baking xx

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!

Whether you are Coeliac, wheat intolerant or just after a healthy, gluten, wheat & rice free flour, this is tops.

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

The wholegrain gluten free ‘Fairy’ flour blend created by Vicki Montague is simply brilliant.

Not only does it deliver superb and very consistent baking results, it is flavoursome, nutty, delicious and, being wholegrain, healthy too! I do love buckwheat, in my opinion a very underused ingredient. It is actually an Asian plant of the dock family, producing starchy seeds. When milled into flour, these seeds add great flavour – traditionally used for blinis, (buckwheat pancakes to accompany caviar), Vicki has harnessed the great potential of these seeds in her flour blend. Teff and sorghum also add a depth of flavour.

I thoroughly recommend these two flour blends and would also like to say to any coeliac, whether recently diagnosed or not, that you won’t find anyone anywhere more dedicated that Vicki who is prepared to offer invaluable advice and help others in their quest to overcome dietary restrictions.

Being diagnosed with coeliac disease is not the end of the world, it is the beginning of an entirely new and exciting one.

You may be able to find a less expensive gluten free alternative flour to bake with, but you are far less likely to achieve the same amazing flavour!

I am getting on well with your flour. It tastes good and performs well in baking. I wanted a flour without rice flour in it for all the reasons you state on your website.

I've made Carrot cake, pineapple upside down cake and nut and fruit tea loaf with it.

This flour is very good , even though it is slightly darker than ordinary flour.

My cooking skills are not brilliant but cakes were fine.

I've made ordinary sponge cake with it.

I have been using Vicki's flour for a couple of months now and I have to say that it's the best 'free from' flour I've ever tried. So far, we've made baguettes, sauces, chocolate cake, brownies and pancakes with this flour and it doesn't have the grittiness you find in blends rich in rice flour. Our pancakes taste a lot better than before with this blend and I won't go back to other flour blends!

Early days for me with this gluten free game and as a mere 77 year old male I have struggled over the last 18 months or so since I found that I had a problem with wheat and found it difficult to eat either in or out. The great majority of GF products and meals are revolting, the GF flours I have tried are gritty and tasteless. The flour is expensive, especially for a pensioner, but food should be enjoyed and as my old mum always told me back in the 1940s/60s " you only get what you pay for with any commodity, so don't go for the cheapest".

To date, I'd say this flour was far better than your competitors.

I've made Bread, Scones, Yorkshire puds and fruit crumbles with it!

I love, love, love this flour, so versatile. It's lovely to have a gluten free flour that works in all baking and cooking and is healthy and nutritional too. It makes a refreshing change from lifeless, white powder that has the absorption of a sponge! This flour looks good and tastes good too.
