Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams sweet rice flour (mochiko)
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 115 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 400 milliliters coconut milk
- 240 milliliters whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweet rice flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, coconut milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth batter with no lumps.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the butter mochi cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
Once cooled, cut the butter mochi into squares or rectangles and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
