Sweet Rice Flour

Not to be confused with regular white rice flour, sweet rice flour is finely ground from a specific type of rice referred to as sticky rice or glutinous rice (though it doesn't contain gluten). It's more starchy, sticky, and finely ground than regular white or brown rice flour. I often use it as a base in gluten-free baking recipes, blending it with other whole-grain flours.

It makes pillow-soft gluten-free sponge cake, flaky gluten-free pie crust, and ethereal pancakes. Try it in these feather-light gluten-free biscuits, or make a batch of fudgy gluten-free brownies for a sweet treat.
