Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 banana leaves (for lining, optional)
- 0.5 cup grated cheese (cheddar or edam)
- 1 salted duck egg (sliced, optional)
- 0.5 cup grated coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan or line it with banana leaves for a traditional touch.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rice flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, combine the coconut milk, water, eggs, and melted butter. Beat until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until you achieve a smooth batter. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
Top the batter with slices of salted duck egg and sprinkle grated cheese over the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
If desired, garnish with grated coconut before serving.
Cool slightly before slicing and enjoy warm.
