Questions about White rice flour
Can you use white rice flour instead of plain flour in a cake?
Not as a straight swap in most cakes: rice flour has no gluten, so the crumb can turn dry and fragile. Use a baking blend made for gluten-free cakes, or combine it with starches and a binder such as psyllium or xanthan gum.
How do you stop white rice flour making baking gritty?
Choose finely milled flour and let the mixed batter rest for 20–30 minutes before baking so the flour can absorb moisture. This helps in pancakes, muffins and cakes; coarse flour is more likely to leave a sandy texture.
How do you thicken a sauce with white rice flour?
Whisk it first into a little cold water to make a smooth slurry, then stir the slurry into the simmering sauce. Keep stirring for a few minutes, until the sauce thickens and the flour no longer tastes raw.
How should you store white rice flour?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard, away from strong-smelling foods. For longer storage or a warm kitchen, refrigerate or freeze it in a sealed container and bring it to room temperature before opening, to limit condensation.
What can you cook with white rice flour?
Use it for crisp batters for tempura-style vegetables or fish, as well as rice noodles, pancakes and steamed rice cakes. For a light coating, dust food with a thin layer just before frying.
Is white rice flour the same as glutinous rice flour?
No. White rice flour is milled from ordinary rice and makes tender, sometimes crumbly mixtures; glutinous rice flour comes from sticky rice and becomes notably chewy when cooked. Despite its name, glutinous rice flour contains no gluten.
How does white rice flour compare with brown rice flour?
Brown rice flour has more fibre: 4.6 g per 100 g, compared with 2.4 g in white rice flour. It also has a nuttier flavour and darker colour, which can be noticeable in delicate cakes.
