I have used sweet rice flour in my own flour mixture for sometime now. I do like the texture that it provides in baked goods and in some breads. Also use powered milk along with whole milk in some of my flour mixtures for bread. I find each time you bake gluten free your end result can be a little different.

Hi, Georgina!
So glad I found your site! I love that you have recipes using Sweet Rice Flour, but I wish you would also put the ingredients in U.S. Customary Units as well. It would be a great help.
Can't wait to try some of the recipes after I convert them!
Many thanks!Reply

You are most welcome!! I know it is a constant source of frustration for my US readers. I develop my recipes using grams and it is very tricky to convert after the fact to US customary units. Developing them in grams gives me a lot more freedom to add an extra tablespoon of flour here and there and use very specific measurements which is what makes the bakes so successful. I strongly recommend using a scale to weigh out gluten-free ingredients (much more so than using regular flours) since they are so fine in texture and measuring them consistency in cups is not accurate enough. Gluten-free baking always relies so heavily on extremely accurate measurements as the slightest variation in flours. I do recommend buying a set of digital scales if you bake regularly with gluten-free flours - they cost about $10 and will absolutely change your baking experience for the better.
