Best Answer

Rice flour (not ground rice) works as a substitute for cornstarch. Both rice flour and cornstarch (cornflour) can be used to thicken stews and sauces as well as in baking. Rice flour is used in traditional shortbread recipes, but some shortbread recipes call for cornflour. Either ingredient gives an attractive texture to shortbread biscuits.
