Search this board and you'll find some people who have used it... more suggestions >>
* Peanut non-butter...I mix the peanut flour with milk or water with some salt to the desired consistency, and use it just as I would normal peanut butter for a spread. If you prefer, you can sweeten it with honey, molasses or sugar.
* I enjoy quick low-fat snacks of peanut non butter on bananas, or even make a peanut butter cup hot chocolate.
* Experiment with adding it to baked goods. It's perfect for low-fat smoothies.
* For a peanut butter candy filling, take store bought peanut butter, mix in enough peanut flour to achieve a mold-able consistency, add salt and sweetening to taste, dip in chocolate and you have a lower fat peanut butter cup.
* Mix it into ice cream or pudding to increase the fiber and nutritional value. The milk in these products makes the peanut protein complete!
* Add it to applesauce for a yummy nutritious kids treat.Make a low fat Indonesian spicy peanut sauce with a fraction of the fat.
And here is an idea for yummy Asian oven baked pork chops.
One packet of Kung-Pow or Szechaun Stir-Fry seasoning
1/4 cup peanut flour
1 1/2 c cracker crumbs (saltines, Ritz, Brenton's, Triscuits, etc)
or 1 1/2 cup cereal crumbs (Chex, rice Krispies)
Place all these in a bowl or bag and mix well.
In a bowl mix:
3 T soy sauce
1T molasses
3T wine or balsamic vinegar
Directions:
Heat oven to 375. Prepare baking sheet with aluminum foil or non stick spray. Moisten chops with the liquid, then coat with seasoned crumbs. Bake for 20 to 40 minutes depending on thickness of chops. For an easy side dish...take the remaining soy sauce mixture, add 2 tsp oil. Cut up into bit sized pieces celery, carrot, onion, red and green peppers. Place on sprayed baking sheet and roast along with the chops.Replace flour in a recipe (up to 1/4)more recipes: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/great-recipes.asp?food=peanut+flour

I just cleaned cupboards and tossed many of the items I bought on impulse because "they sounded good
Why I thought I needed five pounds of rice flour I'll never know.

Use it as a dredge in place of AP flour. Great with fish or chicken. Crispy. It's also used as a
bench flour with certain delicate things like mochi and dim sum.

Bought it for something specific- now I haven't a clue.
Rice flour in pastries. One of my favorite bakeries uses it in their shortbread. Recipe here:

Sugar Bakery's peppermint bark shortbread recipe

Chocolate, shortbread and peppermint. What's not to love?
True confession. I'm absolutely smitten with Sugar Bakery's shortbread. Driving by their Madison location, alarm bells start ringing in my head. I consult the clock....and inevitably make time for a quick detour.
For the holidays, my favorite shortbread takes a quick dip in dark chocolate, and the top is dusted with crushed candy canes. Be still, my heart! Leave Santa a tray of these cookies, and I'm sure he will be very good to you....
Peppermint Bark Shortbread,
Courtesy of Sugar Bakery & Cafe
Makes 24 2-by-2 inch cookies
Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar, plus 2 tbsp. for top
2 cups butter
1 teaspoon peppermint extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white rice flour
1/2 tablespoon salt
Parchment paper (optional)
1 pound semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Crushed candy canes (8-10 mini canes)
1. In a standard mixer or with a hand-held beater, cream sugar, butter and peppermint extract until light and fluffy.
2. Add flours and salt and combine until mixture just starts to come together. (The dough should be crumbly but stick together when squeezed.)
3. Line a 12-by-16-inch pan with parchment. Place dough into hte pan and break up any large clumps, spreading evenly.
4. Press dough down gently and sprinkle the remaining sugar on top.
5. With a rolling pin or drinking glass, roll out the dough evenly. (Use a little additional sugar if the dough sticks to the rolling pin.)
6. With a meat tenderizer or fork, press indentations into the top of the shortbread. (This prevents the shortbread from rising unevenly.)
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until shortbread is golden brown.
8. Cut into squares while still warm and remove cookies from pan to cool.
9. To finish, melt chocolate and vegetable oil over double boiler or in a microwave, watching constantly to prevent chocolate from burning. When melted, remove from the heat and stir to cool slightly.
10. Dip bottoms of shortbread in melted chocolate, then dip in crushed candy canes. Place on parchment to dry.

Thanks, Traca but I am so not fond of peppermint in baking. I'd like to try this
recipe, if it ever stops raining so my cookies aren't soggy. What can I use in place of the crushed peppermints?
Two cups butter and one cup flour?!!!

Shortbread is my use as well. And it worked as a thickener for ice cream.
Shortbread: really good butter, flour, rice flour, powdered sugar, and vanilla.
And it pats out! You don't even have to roll it.
A pot of hot tea, fresh shortbread and bliss. Life doesn't get any simpler than that.
