Pilling Foods Good Eats Xanthan Gum

Good Eats Xanthan Gum is an essential ingredient for gluten free baking.  As a binder it imitates gluten, becoming a thickening agent and stabilizes all ingredients to prevent them from separating.  It is also completely tasteless.  Xanthan gum is blended into the other dry ingredients, about 1/4 tsp per cup of flour.  

Interestingly, xanthan gum is produced from simple sugars by fermenting bacteria then processing into a dry free flowing flour.

May contain Tree Nuts or Sesame.
