How to measure brown rice flour
The chart entry is “Brown rice flour, 1 cup = 4 1/2 oz = 128 g”. A cup is lighter than white rice flour, which the chart lists at 142 grams, much as whole wheat flour at 113 grams is lighter than all-purpose flour at 120 grams. Glutinous rice flour is lighter again at 120 grams per cup. Coconut flour shares the 128 gram figure. Spoon it into the cup and level it. Half a cup is 64 grams and a quarter cup 32 grams.
Sources: 128 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Brown rice flour, 1 cup = 4 1/2 oz = 128 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
