I've used thriftlady's recipe for ever, but recently had to modify it (DD is wheat intolerant) so now use 4 oz rice flour + 2 oz cornflour instead of wheat flour. Trust me, it's EVEN MORE SCRUMMY!!!!!:T

May I ask where do you get rice flour please, I've a book from M&S of biscuit recipes and they use rice flour in several of them. I can't find it in any of the major supermarkets?

Is ground rice not the same thing? I have a recipe for shortbread that has ground rice in it - if you can't get hold of rice flour, maybe try that?

Oops, now I feel really silly:o I assumed they were different things. Yes I've seen ground rice, so I'll get some of that next time I'm shopping. Thanks

Whoa, hold on. Let someone else clarify it LOL. They might well be different things.

I just wiki'd it, and this is what it says -

It looks like they are different things, but still try the ground rice. It may work just as well

I think they are the same thing -if that's any help;)

I've always used ground rice in my shortbread, it's what my Granny used and it was yummy, must make some again.

Rice flour is sold in our local health food shop .... but it's always been expensive ... so I'm happy to read I could use "ground rice", the obvious things you learn eh!!!

Ground rice is also the same as 'baby rice'. I used to use ground rice when weaning my babes as it was much cheaper than the 'special' over-packaged baby rice.

I'm sure if you looked around for your local asian or oriental cash & carry, you could get hold of rice flour a lot cheaper...
