Michael's Butter Mochi recipe: Ingredients: - 2 cups mochiko sweet (white) rice flour - 2 cups sugar (I recommend Domino Organic Cane Sugar) - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon - 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk - 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk - 3 eggs - 2 teaspoons vanilla - 1/2 cup butter, melted Note: If not using Cane Sugar, you may want to use a little extra (but no more than 2 and 1/2 cups.) Directions: 1 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2 - Grease a 13x9x2" pan. 3 - Melt and keep butter on very low heat (just enough to keep it liquid.) 4 - In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon, and mix well. 5 - In a medium bowl, combine evaporated milk, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla, and mix well. 6 - Make a well in the dry ingredients and incorporate the liquid ingredients. 7 - Stir in melted butter until it's absorbed and the mixture is completely smooth (no lumps). 8 - Pour into pan and tap pan to settle batter. 9 - Bake (uncovered) for 50-55 minutes in center of oven until golden brown. 10 - Cool at least 2 hours before cutting.
