Cornbread Bibingka Recipes

CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush the inside of a 9-inch round cake pan with melted butter.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, cayenne and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk the milk and eggs together in a medium bowl. Pour the milk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined; then stir in the melted butter.
• Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread out into an even layer. Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

BIBINGKA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all ingredients in a greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake 1 hour at 350F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When cool, cut into squares.

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.
