WHEAT FLOUR VS CASSAVA FLOUR

Utilize a flour conversion exclusively for classic recipes when you are directly replacing traditional wheat flour with Cassava flour. Avoid applying it to recipes that incorporate different gluten-free flours like almond or rice flour, or recipes explicitly designed for Cassava flour. When in doubt, opt for a more generous approach rather than a conservative one.
