Making rice flour is pretty darn easy with a high speed blender. You place rice in the blender, blend on speed 1 for one full cycle, then blend on speed 5 for one full cycle. Scrape sides and repeat if needed. Use a fine mesh filter to filter any large hard pieces to ensure only the finest flour is available. That's it! How satisfying.
Brown Rice Flour
Depending where you live, you may or may not find rice flour, yet you can almost always find rice. I love empowering myself and others to "do it yourself"! Rice flour can be used in a number of gluten-free recipes, offers a mild flavor and is easy to digest. Score! It can be used as a thickening agent or in baking for light or crisp treats.

White Rice Flour
Ingredients:
Directions:
Notes:
- 2 Cups Rice (White, Brown or desired variety)
Directions:
- Place in a high speed blender, I used a blendtec.
- Blend on speed 1 for 50 seconds or one full cycle.
- Blend on speed 5 for 50 seconds or one full cycle.
- Repeat as needed.
- Filter with a fine mesh filter, the finer the better. Store in an airtight container in cool dark place or fridge or freezer for longer term storage.
Notes:
- When filtering I found rocking it side to side, shaking it gently side to side or tapping it really helped.
- Save the leftover rice that was not filtered, use it upon making the next batch of flour or in other recipes.
- Use a mill verses a blender!
- You can also soak the grains for 1 hour, lay flat dry for 20-30 minutes, blend as mentioned, filter and then dehydrate. It takes longer but can yield a softer flour.
