Make Brown Rice Flour

Different varieties of rice will give you different flavors in your rice flour.

Brown rice flour is nothing more than brown rice kernels ground to a powder. The only challenge is that rice is very difficult to grind into a smooth flour. Even carefully ground rice can be gritty like meal rather than smooth like flour. To grind rice to a smooth flour, you must have the right tools: either a powerful blender or a home grain mill. Coffee grinders and ordinary blenders can make rice meal, but they will not give you smooth flour.

Instructions

Blender

1. Measure a cup of brown rice into your blender. Put the lid on the blender.

2. Turn the blender on to a "Medium-High" setting.

3. Scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, if necessary.

4. Listen to the sound of the rice hitting the sides of the blender. The tinkling sound of little bits of rice striking glass or metal will become quieter when the rice is reduced to a powder.

Grain Mill

5. Place the rice in the hopper of your grain mill.

6. Set the grinder to "Medium" and grind the rice into a coarse meal.

7. Put the meal back into the hopper.

8. Set the grind to "Fine" and grind the meal into a flour.
