Well it certainly got QP's (my 9 year old son) approval. He was talking about it this morning and suggesting we use it to make cup cakes.

If mince pies were as good as Guinness cake we'd eat them all year round. Go for it 
I can almost smell those scones from here. Might be tempted to make some myself

Thanks! That's the thumbs up for CGC..:-)
I've got little shortbreads coming out now. Made with rice flour. Maybe I'm turning into a closet scottish granny?
Would rice flour get the thumbs up from over the border?

If it's the gritty stuff they'd call it "ground rice" and tell you that semolina is better, runnyeyes.
And if it's the powdery stuff, they'd say, "Whit? Ye didnae. Nae sich hing, hen," and ask if you meant cornflour
Most proper Scottish grannies would use plain white flour, salted butter and white caster sugar, though there's one in every Women's Guild who comes over all cheffy and has a "secret ingredient".
(I've made shortbread with rice flour. It tasted OK - it always will provided the fat is all butter and the flour is a relatively flavourless one and not something horrid like buckwheat - but was a lot crumblier than wheatflour shortbread.)
I'll bet yours is delicious

Ahhh that's the secret. The recipe was 40 g of ground rice flour to 130 g of plain.
It's a bit crunchy, but nice and buttery.
I like the sound of corn flour..will try that next time..
