Xanthan Gum

When added to gluten-free flour mixes, it replaces the gluten ‘stretch factor’. It works like gluten by binding ingredients during the baking process to give a conventional texture.  It can be bought at health food shops and larger supermarkets, and comes in a powder form that dissolves readily in water. It needs to be combined with your gluten-free flour mix before adding any liquid.
