The Complete Guide

How To Use It

Rice flour has no gluten, so it does not stretch like wheat flour. It shines in crisp coatings, tender cookies, noodles, dumplings and sauces, and as part of a gluten-free blend.

UseHow much
Thicken a sauce or gravyAbout 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp per 1 cup liquid
Light, crisp frying batterUp to all of the flour, mixed with ice-cold water
Gluten-free blend for cakes and muffinsMix with a starch, such as tapioca or potato starch, and add a binder
Dusting a sourdough banneton or counterA light, even coat

One cup weighs about 160 g. For the best results, weigh it and use recipes written for rice flour.

Tips And Common Mistakes

  • Don't swap it cup for cup for wheat flour in yeast breads or cakes. It has no binder such as xanthan gum, so results can be crumbly and dense.
  • For thickening, whisk it into cold liquid or melted fat first, then heat. Dumping it into hot liquid can make lumps.

Who It's For

  • Gluten-free cooks who mix their own flour blends
  • Sourdough bakers who dust baskets and counters, since rice flour does not get sticky like wheat flour
  • Home cooks making crispy fried foods, tempura, noodles and dumplings
  • Anyone who wants a gluten-free way to thicken soups, sauces and gravies

Recipes to Make

Light And Crispy Vegetable Tempura

4 servingsPrep 15 minCook 15 min
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill white rice flour, plus 2 tbsp for dusting
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup ice-cold sparkling water
  • 4 cups sliced vegetables (sweet potato rounds, zucchini, bell pepper strips, broccoli florets)
  • Neutral oil for frying, about 3 cups
Steps
  1. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350 F.
  2. Pat the vegetables dry and toss them with the 2 tbsp rice flour so the batter clings.
  3. In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup rice flour, the cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Add the ice-cold sparkling water and stir just until mixed. A few lumps are fine.
  4. Dip a few vegetable pieces in the batter, let the extra drip off, and fry in small batches for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once, until light golden and crisp.
  5. Drain on a rack or paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt. Serve hot with soy sauce or a dipping sauce.
Tip: Keep the batter cold. Set the bowl over a second bowl of ice for the crispiest coating.

Gluten-Free Rice Flour Pancakes

About 10 pancakes, 3 to 4 servingsPrep 20 minCook 15 min
Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cups Bob's Red Mill white rice flour (200 g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or oil, plus more for the pan
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Steps
  1. In a large bowl, whisk the rice flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
  3. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix and stir until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so the flour can soak up the liquid. It will thicken a little.
  4. Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve warm.
Tip: If the batter gets too thick while resting, stir in 1 to 2 tbsp more milk.

Smooth Gluten-Free Pan Gravy

About 2 cupsPrep 5 minCook 10 min
Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp oil or pan drippings
  • 3 1/2 tbsp Bob's Red Mill white rice flour
  • 2 cups chicken, turkey or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste
Steps
  1. Heat the oil or drippings in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the rice flour and cook, whisking, for 1 to 2 minutes until it smells toasty.
  3. Slowly pour in the broth while whisking, so no lumps form.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 4 to 6 minutes, whisking often, until it thickens and coats a spoon.
  5. Season with pepper and salt. If it gets too thick, whisk in a splash more broth.
Tip: Rice flour gravy reheats well and does not turn gluey the way some starch-thickened sauces do. Use gluten-free broth if needed.

Questions About This Product

The things people actually want to know before they cook with it.

Is white rice flour the same as sweet or glutinous rice flour?
No. Sweet rice flour comes from sticky rice and gives a chewy result, like mochi. White rice flour is lighter and makes crisp coatings and tender cookies.
Why do my rice flour bakes taste gritty?
Rice flour absorbs liquid slowly. Let batters and doughs rest 10 to 20 minutes before baking, and use recipes that pair it with a starch.
How is it different from brown rice flour?
Brown rice flour is ground from whole brown rice, so it is a little heavier and nuttier. White rice flour is lighter and more neutral, which suits coatings, sauces and delicate bakes.
Does rice flour have a taste?
It is mild and neutral, so it will not change the flavor of sauces, coatings or bakes.
