Description

This butter mochi recipe makes a rich and chewy Hawaiian treat with sweet glutinous rice flour, coconut, and butter—perfect for parties.

Ingredients

1 pound mochiko (glutinous rice flour)
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 cups whole milk
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sweetened, flaked coconut

Directions

1 Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2 Whisk eggs, vanilla, and milk together in a medium bowl. Stir rice flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a separate larger bowl.
3 Stir egg mixture into flour mixture until blend. Mix in melted butter and coconut. Pour into the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 1 hour. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack until mochi has set. The texture will improve as it cools. Use a sharp, greased knife to cut into squares.
