Ground Rice

I use rice flour when I make traditional Scottish shortbread - if it is more coarsely ground than flour, perhaps use it as a thickener?

Thickening a soup?

or gravy or other sauce?

Michael Chiarello recently provided a recipe for onion ring batter that uses ground Arborio rice flour. I had never had any luck with onion rings - couldn't make the batter stick unless I used an egg batter, which made it thick and gummy.

His rice-flour batter sticks like death! It's a lot like a tempura batter, which is the best way to have onion rings.

Mike :cool:

Uh, excuse me?

You only clean your spice grinder every now and then? Doesn't everything begin tasting the same?

I clean my spice grinder after every use, to prevent cross-flavoring spices and herbs.

Could probably use it in sausage as filler/fat substitute.

Could maybe use it for thickening soups, would add some spicy flavour from whatever spices you've had in it....DC
