Rice Flour

Rice flour, made by grinding rice into a fine powder, is naturally gluten-free and a great alternative to wheat flour. While there are various types of rice flour depending on the manufacturing process and raw materials, it is generally divided into two main categories based on the type of rice used: glutinous rice (mochi rice) and non-glutinous rice (regular rice). Non-glutinous rice flour is commonly used in baked goods and bread, while glutinous rice flour is traditionally used to create chewy treats like dango and daifuku.

You’ll need the following ingredients to make this Rice Flour Donuts Recipe:

Rice flour: Use rice flour labeled for baking and bread or made from non-glutinous rice.
Egg: Helps bind the ingredients together and adds richness to the dough.
Soy milk: This recipe calls for unsweetened soy milk, but you can substitute any other type of milk.
Sugar: Any sugar is fine. If you’re reducing sugar, feel free to adjust the amount to your taste.
