Sweet Rice Flour is the secret weapon you need to know about for your gluten-free kitchen. It also goes by its alternative name ‘glutinous rice flour,’ although it contains no gluten. It is an invaluable gluten-free flour as its high starch content makes it ideal for thickening sauces, pancakes, batters and making all kinds of moist sweet bakes including beautifully textured gluten-free cakes.
