Using Rice Flour in Your Baking

Start with a recipe that names this flour. Rice, cassava and coconut use different swap estimates, so keep the flour and starch proportions together when your recipe calls for a blend.

Binder starting point: Keep your recipe's blend ingredients and amounts together. The starting estimate here is 0.25 tsp xanthan gum per cup. Use your recipe’s binder amount for the finished blend.

Use the Flour Converter for estimated flour amounts and any conversion limits, or the Blend Builder to compare recipe-type blend presets. See methodology for data sources.
