How to make rice flour in the blender?

To make our own rice flour we will only need rice of our choice (white, brown).

It is not necessary to wash it first. If you do, let it dry completely, otherwise the flour will be sticky.

We will introduce the desired amount of rice ( 250-500 grams depending on the capacity of our blender. We can use a medium-high power. Wait until you see that the rice grains disappear and you obtain a fine texture. 

Then we can sieve it with a sieve or put it directly into the container where we want to keep it. If you do not have a blender, another option is to use a coffee grinder.
