It is a naturally gluten-free binder for recipes as it mimics the action of gluten. It helps bind together gluten-free bread, improves the crumb structure of your cakes (reducing the notorious excessive crumbling of gluten-free baking)and makes pastry easier to roll out and handle.

Bread ~ mix 2 level teaspoons of xanthan gum to every 500g flour
Cakes ~ mix 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum to every 200g flour
Pastry ~ mix a pinch of xanthan gum to every 100g flour
