We get our AP flour at the bulk food store, it is a mix. I'll go see if I have a tag. .....

got it. garbanzo bean flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, white sorghum flour, fava bean flour. The tag also says add a 1/4 tsp of xanthum gum/per cup of flour. the girl I got the recipe from didn't mention using xanthum gum, I will ask her. Or I will just try them tomorrow, and let you know.
