Grind Rice to Make Flour
Rice flour can be made of any variety of brown or white rice. Rice flour is used alone in many noodle recipes and in conjunction with other flours in baked goods. Grinding the rice to a fine powder will make the finished have a more smooth and less grainy texture. Give Asian dishes an extra homemade touch by grinding rice flour at home instead of buying it from the market. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Pour the dry rice into a large colander and rinse it under cold running water. Move the rice with your fingers and remove any foreign objects like stones.
2. Lower the colander of rinsed rice into a large stockpot filled with water and allow it to soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Remove the colander and dump the rice onto a clean kitchen towel that is spread out on the counter, table or other flat surface.
4. Spread the rice into a thin layer and allow it to dry out completely. Drying the rice may take up to an hour. Speed the process by placing a small fan next to the rice.
5. Pour all the clean dry rice into a food processor and grind it at high speed for approximately five minutes.
6. Dump ground rice into a fine mesh sieve or flour sifter and shake to pass the finer granules through into a large mixing bowl.
7. Return the ground rice granules that are too large to pass through the sifter back into the food processor for another grind at high speed. Continue this process until all the rice is fine enough to pass through into the mixing bowl.
8. Use the rice flour in a recipe or move it into air-tight glass or plastic containers to store in the pantry.
