What recipe should/can I use for PF cakes?
The basic PF recipe is 1/4 cup brown rice flour (measure the flour itself, not the brown rice if you grind it yourself), 1/2 cup vermiculite, and 60ml (4 tablespoons) of water.
The basic PF recipe is 1/4 cup brown rice flour (measure the flour itself, not the brown rice if you grind it yourself), 1/2 cup vermiculite(fine is prefered), and 60ml (4 tablespoons) of water per jar.
For 5 jars, you use the 2:1:1 recipe. Thats 2 cups of verm, 1 cup water, and 1 cup of brown rice flour. 1 cup is 240ml.
The idea is to coat the wet vermiculite particles with the dry powder as you stir the mix with the spatula.
Depending on the vermiculite used, the amount of water needed can vary. To prevent a overly dry or wet mixture you can prepare the substrate this way:
Put the required amount of vermiculite in a bowl (all at once, NOT for each jar separately!). Use a spatula or spoon to mix in enough water to saturate the vermiculite to the field capacity, mix well.

The field capacity is reached when a small puddle,barely visible, forms at the bottom of the bowl when you tilt it. Then add the appropriate amount of BRF and mix together.(This works best if you use 1/2 cup vermiculite and 1/6 cup BRF per 1/2 pint jar)
