Bibingka Sweet Rice Flour Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter or spray a 9 x 13 glass dish.
• Cream the butter, sugar and eggs in a bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients and blend well.
• Pour into glass dish and bake for 40-50 minutes.
• Edges should have a nice light brown color while the middle is a nice cream color. Eat hot or cold.
• (Optional) I like to add the shredded coconut to the batter. For the last 15 minutes of baking, I also like to take some of the shredded coconut and sprinkle it to the top of the cake to toast the coconut. Very delicious!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 12x17-inch rimmed baking sheet.
• Beat condensed milk, coconut milk, and melted butter together in a large mixing bowl until combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and beat until combined. Add macapuno, 1 jar at a time, and beat until combined. Gradually beat in mochiko flour. Beat in brown sugar; beat in vanilla extract. Pour batter onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and sides are slightly dark brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Allow to cool, about 20 minutes, before loosening the sides and cutting into squares.

Steps:

• Combine the warm water, yeast and 1/8 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Stir and let the yeast bloom until foamy, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk together both rice flours with the salt and the remaining 1 cup sugar in a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and coconut milk. Whisk until smooth and the consistency of a thick pancake batter. Place the bowl in a warm place until the batter begins to lighten, bubble and almost double in volume, about 3 hours. (This can take longer depending on the temperature.)
• Wipe clean both sides of each banana leaf with a damp towel, removing any dirt. Trace a 7-inch bowl with a very sharp knife on the banana leaves to create six 7-inch rounds, avoiding any tears or holes in the leaves. Heat each round directly over a low flame or with a culinary torch until pliable and slightly darkened, about 10 seconds per side. Line each cup of a 6-cup jumbo muffin pan with a banana leaf round and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Once the batter is light and bubbly, whisk in the eggs. Fill each lined cup of the muffin pan slightly more than three-fourths of the way (a scant 3/4 cup per bibingka). Top each with 2 heaping tablespoons of shredded Edam cheese.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of each bibingka comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and heat the broiler. Brush the top of each bibingka with melted butter then sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of coconut sugar. Broil on the middle rack with the oven door open, moving the muffin pan continuously, until the tops are browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Let cool in the muffin pan for 5 minutes then remove each bibingka to a wire rack to continue to cool. The bibingka can be served at room temperature but are best served warm. They can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days, then reheated in a toaster oven or microwave before serving.

Steps:

• Soak rice in 3 1/2 cups water overnight.
• Combine rice with coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a rice cooker or heavy non-stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked. Add a little more water if needed. If you are using a rice cooker, keep cooker on warm setting until rice is cooked.
• Line a 9x13x2 inch pan with foil greased with butter.
• Transfer rice to pan and spread evenly; smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
• Combine flour and 4 tablespoons water in a small cup and stir to make a slurry and set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and milk in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil.
• Stir in flour mixture and whisk until sauce has thickened and is smooth.
• Spread over rice evenly.
• Brown top under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Do not burn.
• Let cool at room temperature until firm and cut into pieces with a plastic knife.
• I decrease the sugars by 1/2 cup and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as I do not like very sweet desserts. Sweet rice is available in Asian markets. The short grain sweet rice is normally used. Long-grained glutinous rice is used by Thai's for sweet sticky rice. Coconut milk can be purchased canned or frozen.
