Can I make my own rice flour?
DH came home yesterday with a grain mill attachment for a sturdy old mixer we have. He thought maybe I could use it to make my own rice flour.
So what exactly is rice flour anyway? Do I just run standard white or brown rice through the mill once? It looks like I will be able to get it really fine so I'm hoping I can make it grit free fine. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. |
Rice Flour
Yes you can. Soak rice in water for 2-3 hours. Keep a little bit of the water and drain away the excess. Put the rice and the water in a blender and blend it for awhile. Pour the ground rice inside a cloth bag. Put the bag in a seive or on something with holes so that the water can drain away. Put something heavy on the top of the bag to help drain the water out for a few hours. What is left inside the bag is rice flour. If you don't use it immediately, you will need to dry it before keeping it.

Huh? :confused: I need a blender and water to make flour? Interesting. I thought it was milled. Learn something new everyday.

Rice Flour
Hey, I don't know. I just did a search on it and that's what I came up with. I suspect if you don't have some liquid in it, it will not turn out right. I'm just guessing but I think that may be true of lots of things we grind.
You can do a search and perhaps come up with another idea. Or maybe someone else will post an idea. Good luck:) |
I am doing some searching now and found a lot of sites that give the same directions you found. I also found a few sites that say mill/ grind it dry.
It seems to me any liquid would turn the rice to paste. And having to dry it after it is ground sounds like more work than I care to do. I can just see me getting moldy flour. Gag me! Thanks for your help Kitt. I do appreciate it. :) |

Thank you but guess I really didn't help you. I don't know about the liquid either. Maybe we should try a little of it and see what happens:D

I would just wash the rice well first and then spread it out to dry again and grind it when it's totally dry. I wouldn't want to grind it without washing it first.
The grinder will be great. I use a fair bit of almond meal in various cakes I make so it would be good for doing that as well. Have fun with it. Let us know how it turns out when you try the rice. |
Rinse, dry, grind. Now that makes sense. I did read somewhere that it will be no more fine than cornmeal. I was hoping for something more fine than that. Will have to give the grinder a good bath and try it out anyway.
