About Rice Flour
Milled from white or brown rice, this gluten-free flour is a staple of Asian cooking and gluten-free baking blends, typically used alongside a starch and binder rather than alone, since it lacks gluten structure.
Why the Weight Per Cup Varies
Rice starch granules are denser than wheat particles, giving rice flour a notably heavier 150g per cup — 30g more than plain flour — which is exactly why a 1:1 volume swap for wheat flour produces the wrong result.
Names in Different Countries
Available as white or brown rice flour. Distinct from "glutinous"/sweet rice flour (mochiko), which is stickier and used for mochi, not standard baking.
Common Recipe Uses
Gluten-free blends, rice noodles, tempura batter, dusting bread bannetons.
Substitutions
Best used within a gluten-free blend (starch + binder), not as a solo 1:1 wheat flour substitute.
