π₯ Ingredients
- rice 1 cup
π³ Cookware
- baking sheet
- blender or spice grinder
- fine-mesh sieve
-
1Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and impurities.
-
2For an even finer flour, you can spread the rinsed rice on a baking sheet and let it air dry completely. This step is optional but recommended.
-
3Working in small batches, add the rice to your blender or spice grinder . Pulse until the rice is broken down into a fine powder. This may take a few minutes, depending on your equipment.
-
4If you want an extra-fine flour, sift it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any larger pieces. This step is optional.
-
5Note: Any kind will work (white, brown, long grain, short grain), but keep in mind that the type of rice will affect the texture of your flour.
-
6Note: The type of rice you use will affect the texture of your flour. For example, glutinous rice flour (made from sweet rice) will be stickier than flour made from long-grain rice.
-
7Tip: Overloading your blender or grinder can result in unevenly ground flour.
-
8Tip: Over-grinding can cause the flour to heat up and become gummy.
-
9Tip: For a super fine texture, grind the rice once, then pass it through the grinder again.
