Bibingka Sweet Rice Flour Recipes

EASY BIBINGKA RECIPE (FILIPINO RICE CAKE)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 190c/375f. Grease large muffin cups with melted butter or line with grilled banana leaves. Place in an oven-proof tray.
• In a small pot, melt butter slowly over low heat until it turns clear and brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from heat and pour onto a heat-proof bowl. Residual. Let it cool completely.
• In a large bowl, whisk brown butter and sugar. Add eggs, salt, vanilla, evaporated milk, and coconut milk. Whisk until sugar has completely dissolved.
• Sift the rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and baking powder into a strainer over the liquid ingredients. Stir until well combined and lump-free.
• Immediately fill the muffin cups with the bibingka batter. If the batter sits on the counter for a period of time, make sure to stir it well before pouring it over the muffin cups.
• Top with a slice of cheese and sliced salted egg on top. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the top rack of the oven until the top is brown. Start checking at 10 minutes. Move the rice cakes to the middle rack and bake for another 10 to 12 minutes until the toothpick inserted comes out clean (see notes for oven types).
• Let it cool completely. Sprinkle with sugar or grated coconut on top. Serve and enjoy!

• Divide mixture and pour into the prepared pie pans.
• Arrange egg and cheese slices on top.
• Bake in a 350 F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

BIBINGKA (SWEET RICE FLOUR)

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!

SWEET RICE CAKE (BIBINGKANG MALAGKIT)

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.

BIBINGKA (FILIPINO COCONUT-RICE CAKE)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together rice flours, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in melted butter, coconut milk and eggs. Whisk mixture until smooth.
• Wash and dry banana leaf, if using, and line a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with it. (One leaf should be enough, but if more are needed, make sure to overlap leaves so there are no gaps.) Butter the leaf, and trim edges leaving a 1- to 2-inch overhang. Alternatively, generously grease skillet with butter.
• Pour mixture into skillet and bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with salted egg and cheese. Return skillet to oven until bibingka is golden and browned, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes more. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with coconut, if desired.

• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and sides are slightly dark brown, 45 to 50 minutes.
