Chewy Butter Mochi (Print View)

Sweet, chewy bites made with creamy coconut milk, buttery richness, and sticky rice flour, blending Hawaiian and Japanese flavors.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 and 1/2 cups white sugar
02 - Half a cup of melted butter, cooled down a bit
03 - 4 eggs, make sure they're at room temperature
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - One 16-ounce box of glutinous rice flour, like Mochiko or similar
06 - 2 teaspoons of baking powder
07 - A 12-ounce can of evaporated milk
08 - One 14-ounce can of coconut milk

# Directions:

01 - Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C). Prep your muffin pans by either greasing them or using liners. Silicone cups are also an option if you’ve got them.
02 - Combine the sugar and melted butter in a big bowl. Stir until it looks nice and smooth.
03 - Crack the eggs in one by one. Mix each in really well before adding another.
04 - Pour in the vanilla and give it a good stir to make sure it’s evenly spread through the batter.
05 - Toss in the rice flour and baking powder. Stir gently until it’s mostly (about 80-90%) combined.
06 - Slowly add both coconut milk and evaporated milk. Keep stirring until it’s completely smooth, without any lumps left.
07 - Spoon the batter into your muffin pans and bake for 45 minutes. They’re done when a toothpick put in the middle comes out almost clean.
08 - Take the pans out of the oven. Let the muffins cool down a bit in the pans before moving them to a wire rack to cool fully.
