Royal Bibingka Recipe 425

Steps:

• In a big bowl, sift rice flour, sugar and powdered coconut milk together. Whisk in water, milk and beaten egg until fully blended. Coat cake pan or mould with margarine and pour batter into the cake pan cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 15 minutes in an oven. Now take out pan with half cooked bibingka, remove cover and top with cheese and sugar. Return aluminum covering and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes. Brush with margarine at least twice in between. When done, remove pan from the oven and brush again with margarine. Let cool down and serve in slices.

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.
