Can you use the gluten-free flour blends to replace the sorghum flour and potato starch?

  Eveline,
  
  Brown rice may be substituted with corn syrup. A corn-free alternative is Lyle's Golden Syrup, which is similar to thick Simple Syrup. See simple syrup recipe here: https://glutenfreerecipebox.com/how-to-make-a-simple-syrup/ . Just cook it longer until it looks a little syrupy. It will thicken even more upon cooling. Don't cook it until it as thick as you'd like it to be once cooled though.
