1/8 cup of brown rice powder (Health food stores and co-ops)
1/2 - 2/3 cup of horticultural vermiculite (medium grade) (garden centers and hardware)
40-45 cc's (milliliters) of water or (a little less than 1/4 cup) (1&1/2 ounces) (3 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon)

which is the right one 1/2 or 2/3?

depends - different flour sources and particle size, different verm particle size, even different water. somewhere between 50% and 65%. don't worry too much about it. try the fungifun.org link above, for a great way to get the water content right.

:cool:
