Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vegetable oil (optional, for greasing molds)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while stirring continuously to form a smooth batter without lumps.
Add vanilla extract to the batter and mix again to incorporate the flavor uniformly.
Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a boil. Lightly grease individual cupcake molds or a cake pan with the optional vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling each one until about three-quarters full to allow space for the rice cake to rise.
Place the molds carefully into the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Turn off the heat and let the rice cakes cool in the steamer for 5 minutes before removing them from the molds.
Allow the steamed rice cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or with your choice of low-fat toppings.
