When I visit Hawaii, one of the things I always seek out is butter mochi. It's super tasty and addicting (translation, it's real bad for you). Here's a recipe that gets pretty close to what I have had on my trips.

  2. 2 1/2 cupSugar
  3. 1 tspBaking Powder
  4. 5Eggs
  5. 3 cupMilk
  6. 1 tspVanilla
  7. 1/2 cupButter, Melted
  8. 1 cupCoconut Flakes, Sweetened

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 10 mins
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350?F.

  2. 2

    Grease very well a 9x13 baking pan or 11x11 pan

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and baking powder.

  4. 4

    In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla.

  5. 5

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir to mix well.

  6. 6

    Add the melted butter and coconut.

  7. 7

    Pour into baking pan and bake for about one hour. Place a cookie sheet on the rack below to catch any drips that may occur.

  8. 8

    When done, let the mochi cool completely before cutting and serving.

  9. 9

    Variations:
    1) For a Philippino version (Bibingka), replace the milk and coconut flakes with 1 can of coconut milk and 1 can of evaporated milk.
    2) Leave out the coconut flakes for a non-coconut but still tasty mochi.
    3) For a healthier version, try using low fat milk and an alternate sugar type (e.g. stevia, xylotol, coconut sugar, etc.). You might also want to leave out the coconut flakes.

  10. 10

    Tip: Make a day ahead as the mochi tastes better overnight.
