    1. Hi Cheryl, a gluten-free friend of mine recently recommended Authentic Foods Multi Blend Flour as it already has the xanthan gum included. Let me know if you try it and how it works for you.

    2. I have made a gluten-free version. You can see my recipe and modification on my blog. I just used a boxed gluten free baking flour. Instead of xanthan gum, I used guar gum.

  7. Ya know, I was taking a peek at a really decadent chocolate pudding recipe today. This looks just as good!
