yummy, yummy, yummy! i have tried several gluten-free recipes from this site but they called for gluten-free flour blends - my results were mixed. this recipe has taught me that brown rice flour is the way to go! the cupcakes rose perfectly and had a very desirable texture - surprising for gluten-free. also, they were delectable! i brought them to my knitting group and each person had 2 - they were gone in 10 minutes. thank you so much for a great recipe and for opening my eyes to the magic of brown rice flour!
