Ono Butter Mochi

Recipe View 5 mins Prepare and Preheat (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Dust lightly with mochiko for an extra layer of protection.

Recipe View 5 mins Whisk Wet Ingredients (5 minutes): In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.

Recipe View 3 mins Combine Dry Ingredients (3 minutes): In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together the mochiko, sugar, and baking powder, ensuring there are no lumps.

Recipe View 7 mins Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients (7 minutes): Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay. Gently fold in the melted butter and flaked coconut until evenly distributed.

Recipe View 1 hrs Bake to Golden Perfection (60 minutes): Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be slightly puffed up.

Recipe View 1 hrs Cool, Cut, and Serve (60 minutes cooling time): Allow the mochi to cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into squares. This allows the mochi to set properly and makes for cleaner cuts. Serve at room temperature and enjoy the chewy, coconutty goodness!
