Directions & Storage
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.
| Use | How much |
|---|---|
| Thicken a sauce or gravy | About 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp per 1 cup liquid |
| Light, crisp frying batter | Up to all of the flour, mixed with ice-cold water |
| Gluten-free blend for cakes and muffins | Mix with a starch, such as tapioca or potato starch, and add a binder |
| Dusting a sourdough banneton or counter | A 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
- 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
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a heavy pot to 350 F.
- Pat the vegetables dry and toss them with the 2 tbsp rice flour so the batter clings.
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain on a rack or paper towels and sprinkle with a little salt. Serve hot with soy sauce or a dipping sauce.
Gluten-Free Rice Flour Pancakes
- 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
- In a large bowl, whisk the rice flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla.
- 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.
- Heat a lightly greased pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve warm.
Smooth Gluten-Free Pan Gravy
- 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
- Heat the oil or drippings in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the rice flour and cook, whisking, for 1 to 2 minutes until it smells toasty.
- Slowly pour in the broth while whisking, so no lumps form.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook 4 to 6 minutes, whisking often, until it thickens and coats a spoon.
- Season with pepper and salt. If it gets too thick, whisk in a splash more broth.
