When baking, this flour can be used as a primary structural component. It absorbs liquids and forms the dough or batter. For thickening, it can be whisked with a liquid to create a smooth paste before adding to hot mixtures. It can also be combined with fat to create a roux. When frying, it provides a crispy coating when seasoned and heated.
