There are quite a few similar recipes using *rice flour* (or powdered
rice). I found them when researching the Bardic Feast, since i was
looking for recipes with ingredients brought to Europe by the Arabs,
and rice is one of those. Are you interested in these as well, or do
you just want those with whole rice?
