Hi Karen! If you'd like to use instant clear jel in place of the flour called for in the filling, you can use a scant tablespoon of the clear jel in palce of the 3 tablespoons of flour called for. To promote accessibility, for very seasonal baked goods like King Cake we find it helpful for our bakers when we list primarily ingredients that they already have on hand instead of ones that need to be special ordered. Still, I can add a suggestion to have an alternative amount of clear jel included in lieu of the flour. Happy baking!
