Butter Mochi Treat (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 2 cups regular white sugar
02 - 1 pound sweet rice flour (mochiko)
03 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - 2 teaspoons of baking powder

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 1 stick unsalted butter (8 tablespoons), melted, plus a little extra for greasing the pan
06 - 4 big eggs
07 - 2 cups of milk (any fat level you prefer)
08 - A 13.5-ounce can of coconut milk without sweetener
09 - 2 teaspoons of vanilla essence

→ Topping

10 - Flaky salt, only if you like (optional)
11 - 1/2 cup shredded coconut that's unsweetened

# Instructions:

01 - Move an oven rack to the center of the oven and turn it on to 350°F. Butter or oil a 9x13-inch pan to get it ready. Melt the stick of butter while you’re at it.
02 - In a big mixing bowl, stir together the sweet rice flour, kosher salt, baking powder, and white sugar. Use a whisk to combine it well.
03 - In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
04 - Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry mix. Stir them together using a wooden spoon until it’s evenly mixed. Add the melted butter and pour in the coconut milk, then stir until the batter is completely smooth.
05 - Pour your finished batter into the baking dish you greased earlier. Tap the dish gently on the counter a few times to get rid of air bubbles.
06 - Spread the shredded coconut evenly across the top of the batter. If you want, sprinkle flaky salt lightly over it, but do it carefully so you don’t mess up the surface.
07 - Put the pan in the oven and bake until the top is golden brown and the texture is firm, about 60 to 70 minutes.
08 - Put the pan on a wire rack and leave it to cool completely, which will take around an hour. When it’s ready, cut it into 20 rectangles using a plastic knife greased with butter, if needed, to keep from sticking.

# Notes:

01 - It’s best to use a plastic knife to cut so the pieces don’t stick.
02 - Sweet rice flour is often labeled as mochiko flour at the store.
03 - Coat your knife with some oil or butter if you notice it sticking.
