Excellent for fried chicken. Better than All-purpose flour, and all other flours and breadcrumbs for fried chicken coating.
It's great because it's tasteless, doesn't soak in oils, cooks evenly, doesn't burn, and leaves your chicken with a beautiful light golden brown color, and a slightly crispy texture.
I salt & pepper (both organic) the raw chicken on top of aluminum foil, then salt & pepper this tapioca flour inside of a ziploc bag; shake chicken inside the ziploc bag with flour; heat up organic unflavored/unscented coconut oil (carrington farms) in my cast iron pan or Dutch oven pot to 350-355°F; cook for 12-14 minutes.
Comes out delicious & beautiful.
In regard to quantities: 1. salt & pepper to your desired taste. 2. use enough flour to completely coat the chicken 3. if doing extra crispy, use enough eggs to completely coat the chicken.
For extra crispy chicken skin:
after coating the chicken inside of the ziploc bag; stir a couple of eggs in a bowl, add salt & pepper, stir again;
then, in a new ziploc bag, pour in the egg mixture; now, add the flour coated chicken to the egg mixture, shake well (coat the chicken with the egg mixture); remove the wet chicken (shake off excess drip), and place the chicken back into the first ziploc bag that contains the flour mixture, now shake and recoat the chicken with flour;
slowly place your chicken into the hot cooking oil, and let it cook (be sure to shake off the excess flour into the ziploc bag before adding the chicken to the hot oil).
When finished cooking, place the chicken on top of large brown sandwich bags (brown bags), and allow the chicken to drain/rest/cool down for five minutes.
*Note*- the chicken will continue to cook on it's inside during that five minute rest. 165°F or higher is the internal temperature you want the chicken to be before eating it.
I got this to make vegan mozzarella. You just blend cashews into a fine milk with water and then boil with tapioca flour and a bit of salt, garlic powder and ACV. Tastes like mozzarella, melts like mozzarella, stretches like mozzarella. High in fat and carbs just like mozzarella too but if your concern is eating dairy then this recipe is great although not healthy.
My daughter have celiac, corn, nuts and peanut allergies. I called the manufacturer and got informed the the factory did process wheat but it is in a totally different room. We have been using this product for now 5 month and purchased now 4 bags. This is a great product and my daughter loves it!!!!
So pleased with this product. I even sent one to my daughter. It is great for the GF flour mixes we make ourselves--so hard to find tapioca flour that is affordable (I just purchased that 5 lb for more savings), organic and certified GF. I don't know that there is that much difference in how it functions in my baking mix as it is a minor player in our mix, but it seems nice.
The bag seals well. Like all my expensive flours and baking items, I keep this in a fridge that I purchased specifically for all these things. I even refrigerate my quinoa pastas and so many things that really don't do well in the pantry. If you look at your organic flours, you will notice that they recommend being kept in the fridge or freezer. Tapioca flour is no exception.
HOWEVER, do not bake with cold flours or eggs. I take these out the night before or at least the morning of baking. I use coconut oil for all my baking, so that is an additional reason I don't want them cold, but all baking needs should be room temp (except your yeast--keep that cold. I keep small containers of baking soda and powder, but keep the bags refrigerated. I think the only thing I do not refrigerate is xanthan gum If you haven't found Gluten Free You and Me xanthan gum, look for it here on Amazon. It is the ONLY certified GF one.
For this family, the terms "naturally gluten free" or "gluten free" without the seal means NOTHING. In fact, in means to me the company is not interested in my business--it's like no GMO labeling on organic products. Meaningless.
I use this to thicken gluten free puddings. 1 cup of tapioca powder mixed 6 TB unsweetened choc powder, 1 cup of sucanat or sugar, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, 6- 7 cups of whole milk, 1/2 tsp of salt and bring to simmer whisking over med heat and it thickens right up. Turn off heat and add tsp vanilla and 3 to 5 egg yolks and 2 TB of butter. Blend with immersion blender for a a minute and chill. Serve alone or with whipped cream. It's delicious. Comes out so smooth with this rather than grinding tapioca balls which is what I used to do. Then I had to strain the pudding since balls weren't as fine as this.
Front of the bag says "Tapioca Flour/Starch" but Ingredient listed on back of bag is "cassava". Cassava consists of both the fiber/starch of the plant root. My recipe calls for tapioca STARCH which this is not. I spent over 2 hours making different batches of dough and finally had to give up. Apparently the names (cassava/tapioca) are sometimes used interchangeably, making things very confusing. If you need 100% starch then from my experience, this is not it.
I love this tapioca flour. The bag seals nicely and isn't a cheap plastic one that rips. That may sound silly but it's nice not to have to repackage 5 lbs of tapioca once you've opened it. The quality is excellent, the things I've made with it are delicious. The 5lb bag is an excellent deal. I've been really happy with all of the Anthony's products I've tried. If you're a paleo/gluten free baker you'll use this up before you know it.
Great quality. Wish it came in larger bags. Like 4 lbs. I make Brazilian cheese bread often with this. Sometimes daily because it’s the only gluten free bread I like. So I use this often and now many of my local stores have stopped carrying. So it’s super nice that amazon is so good at shipping quick. I have prime and I get it in 1-2 days. Which is awesome
I was excited to receive this large bag of tapioca flour as I have a few recipes I'd like to try using this. Only disappointed to see it expires in less than 3 months! I will not have this bag finished in 3 months, I bought the large bag as it was better value for money. No now!
