Can I use botan calrose rice to grind into sticky rice Flour?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Yes you can BUT, the recipes usually call for the sticky sweet rice powder (flour). The rice flour used for this is the mochiko or sweet glutenous rice ground into a fine flour. The mochiko has a higher starch content that binds tighter in recipes. The calrose rice will work, but it may not be as sweet. What you might want to do is use just a touch less liquid when making the mochi part.

Good luck

Calrose rice is the wrong type of rice if you want a flour similar to mochiko (AKA glutinous rice flour). You would need SWEET rice, not the short grain rice typically used to make sushi rice. This type of rice gives you the sticky consistency used in making mochi. Short grain rice flour won't cut it.

But a word of advice? It's kind of hard grinding your own rice into a fine consistency. I've tried making my own rice flour before by soaking it overnight, letting it dry completely, and then grinding it, but I never really ended up with extremely powdery flour. You might end up with very small bits of ground rice. I would try finding sweet rice flour in some major supermarket chains or in an Asian supermarket. You're bound to find it! =)

It's amazing! Good Luck, cheers http://yourselect.info/292383/rice-flour
