Egyptian rice pudding without Egyptian rice? Have a little respect for yourself. This recipe is awful. My mother has never heard of rice flour. (We are Egyptian.) Use Egyptian rice; it naturally has the starches that you are trying to replace with rice flour -- a blasphemy. Arborio rice would also work, but it's from the other side of the Mediterranean.
