Rice Flour Bibingka

0 Comment

Rice Flour Bibingka, a classic Filipino rice cake that’s soft and slightly chewy. This version uses rice flour as the main ingredient, giving it a traditional texture.

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups rice flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup sugar

1 cup coconut milk

1/4 cup evaporated milk or regular milk

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

1/4 cup melted butter

1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or queso de bola)

2 salted eggs (itlog na maalat), sliced (optional)

Fresh banana leaves, lightly greased (optional)

Extra melted butter, for brushing

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon annatto powder (optional)

Grated coconut or more cheese for topping (optional)

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using banana leaves, line a round baking pan or muffin molds with greased banana leaves, trimming the edges to fit neatly.

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine rice flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

3. Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix the coconut milk, evaporated milk, beaten eggs, and melted butter until well combined.

4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and lump-free.

5. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan lined with banana leaves (or directly into greased pans if not using leaves). Fill about 2/3 of the pan.

6. Top with cheese and salted egg slices if desired. You can also sprinkle grated coconut on top if preferred.

7. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the bibingka is set and golden on top. Insert a toothpick in the center to check; it should come out clean.

8. Prepare the Annatto Butter:
While the bibingka is baking, prepare the annatto butter by mixing the melted butter and annatto powder together until well blended.

9. Once the bibingka is out of the oven and still warm, brush the tops generously with the annatto butter. This adds a beautiful golden color and buttery flavor.  Optionally, add more grated cheese or grated coconut on top.

10. Serve warm and enjoy!

 

This Rice Flour Bibingka is deliciously soft and flavorful, perfect for holiday celebrations or a cozy snack.

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
  • 2 slices of ham (or more, depending on preference)

  • Butter (softened)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sandwich:

    Place the two slices of bread in the pan, buttered side down. On the non-buttered side of one slice, layer a slice of cheese, followed by ham, and then add mustard and mayonnaise. Repeat the same procedure with the other slice of bread. Top the second slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
  3. Cook the Sandwich:
    Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Flip the sandwich carefully and cook until the cheese is fully melted and the bread is crispy.
  4. Serve Hot:

Easy Fluffy Pancake (Beginners Guide)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Procedure:

  1. Combine All Ingredients in One Bowl:
    In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then pour in the milk, crack in the egg, and add the vanilla extract (if using).
  2. Mix Until Smooth:
    Using a whisk, stir the ingredients together until the batter is smooth with no lumps. Don’t overmix—it’s fine if it’s a little lumpy, as this helps the pancakes stay fluffy.
  3. Heat Your Pan:
    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or non-stick spray.
  4. Scoop and Cook:
    Use an ice cream scooper to portion the batter evenly onto the hot skillet. Each scoop should create a perfectly round pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden.
  5. Serve:
    Stack your perfectly fluffy pancakes and top with butter, syrup, fresh fruits, or any favorite toppings!

This simple one-bowl method saves time, and the ice cream scooper ensures perfectly even, fluffy pancakes every time! Enjoy!

Homemade Cold Brew Coffee

Creating homemade cold brew coffee is easy and refreshing. Here’s a simple recipe:

Ingredients: 

1 cup coarsely ground coffee beans (use a medium to dark roast) 

4 cups cold, filtered water

Instructions:

1. Grind the Coffee Beans: Coarsely grind your coffee beans. You want them to be similar to breadcrumbs, not too fine.

2. Combine Coffee and Water: In a large jar or pitcher, combine the coarsely ground coffee and cold, filtered water. Stir well to make sure all the coffee is saturated.

3. Steep: Cover the jar or pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 12-24 hours. You can adjust the steeping time based on your taste preference. The longer you steep, the stronger the brew.

4. Strain: After steeping, strain the cold brew to remove the coffee grounds. You can use a coffee filter, fine-mesh strainer, or even a cheesecloth. If using a filter, you might need to strain it twice for a smoother result.

5. Serve: Dilute the cold brew with water or milk, depending on your preference. A typical ratio is one part cold brew concentrate to one part water or milk, but you can adjust this to your liking.

6. Add Sweetener (Optional): If desired, you can sweeten your cold brew with sugar or flavored syrups.

7. Serve Over Ice: Pour your homemade cold brew over ice and enjoy! You can also add cream, milk, or flavorings like vanilla or cinnamon.

This homemade cold brew is perfect for hot days or when you need a refreshing caffeine boost. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, so you’ll have a ready supply of cold brew whenever you need it.
