Rice Flour Recipes

Rice flour is a finely milled flour made from white or brown rice, prized for its mild flavor, pale color, and naturally gluten-free profile. It is a staple in many Asian, Indian, and gluten-free recipes, where it adds crispness, lightness, or gentle thickening without overpowering other ingredients.

In savory cooking, rice flour is excellent for crispy fried coatings, tempura-style batters, dosa, rice noodles, dumplings, and gluten-free flatbreads. It can also be used to lightly thicken soups, sauces, and gravies, especially when a neutral taste and smooth finish are desired.

For baking, rice flour works best when blended with other gluten-free flours or starches because it does not provide the elasticity of wheat flour. Use it in cakes, cookies, pancakes, shortbread, mochi-inspired sweets, and tender gluten-free batters where a delicate crumb is the goal.
