Questions about White rice flour
Can you use white rice flour instead of plain flour in baking?
Not as a straight swap in most cakes or bread: rice flour has no gluten, so the bake can turn crumbly. Use a recipe designed for rice flour, or combine it with another flour and a binder such as xanthan gum.
How do you stop rice-flour pancakes from falling apart?
Let the batter stand for about 10 minutes so the flour hydrates, then cook small pancakes over medium heat. Flip only once the edges look set and the surface is dotted with bubbles.
How do you thicken a sauce with white rice flour?
Whisk it into a little cold water first to make a smooth paste, then stir the paste into the simmering sauce. Cook for a few minutes, stirring, until the flour taste disappears and the sauce thickens.
What can you make with white rice flour?
It works well in crisp batters, shortbread, biscuits and steamed rice cakes. In South Asian cooking it is used for dishes such as dosa and puttu; recipes vary in whether the flour is mixed with water or fermented.
How should you store white rice flour?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from strong-smelling foods. If you will not use it for a while, refrigerate or freeze it in an airtight container to slow rancidity.
Is white rice flour the same as glutinous rice flour?
No. Glutinous rice flour is made from sticky rice and gives a much chewier, more elastic result, as in mochi; it does not contain gluten. The two flours are not interchangeable in most recipes.
Can you replace white rice flour with wheat flour?
Sometimes, but wheat flour contains gluten and behaves differently, so the texture will change. In a sauce or coating you can often substitute it directly; for cakes or bread, use a recipe written for wheat flour.
Does white rice flour contain gluten?
Rice itself is naturally gluten-free, so pure white rice flour contains no gluten. If avoiding gluten, choose flour protected from cross-contact during milling and packing.
