Ingredients

  • 300 g glutinous rice flour
  • 150 ml water
  • 50g butter
  • 80 g desiccated coconut
  • 70g brown sugar

Instructions

  2. Use a little of the total 50 g butter to lightly grease small heat-resistant steaming dishes. Pour in the dough thinly, do not press it into thick lumps.
  3. Cook over vigorously steaming water for 10-15 minutes per batch until the dough is completely cooked in the middle; check for thickness.
  4. Let it set briefly, remove from the molds and serve with the remaining butter, coconut flakes and brown sugar.
