Substitute Allpurpose Flour For Brown Rice Flour

You can modify all-purpose flower to substitute it for rice flour.


"Flour" might seem like a straightforward, simple term that refers to the white, powdery stuff made from wheat that you probably have in your kitchen cabinet. However, there are dozens of different types of flour; in addition to the various wheat flours, you can find flour made from rice, soy, corn, sorghum, peas, oats, millet and other grains and types of produce. Brown rice flour is gluten-free and offers a nutty flavor that you may enjoy. Its consistency is slightly different than that of all-purpose flour, so you must make some modifications when making this substitution. Add this to my Recipe Box.


Instructions


1. Measure out 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour for each cup of brown rice flour you wish to replace. If you wanted to replace 3 cups of brown rice flour, for example, you would measure out 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour.


2. Add 2 tbsp. of corn starch to the all-purpose flour for each cup of brown rice flour you are replacing. In our example, you would add 6 tbsp. of corn starch to the all-purpose flour because you are replacing 3 cups of brown rice flour.


3. Mix the corn starch and all-purpose flour together thoroughly. Then sift to mix further and remove any clumps. Use this flour mixture in place of the brown rice flour in your recipe.
