Butter Mochi is Sweet, Chewy and Stretchy

Butter mochi is a classic Hawaiian treat made with coconut milk and flour. This recipe makes a baking pan full of butter mochi, so you’ll want to bring this to a potluck.

Butter mochi recipes are famously with hardly any measurements required: one stick of butter, a box of glutinous rice flour, a can of evaporated milk, a can of coconut milk, and some sugar.

For a dessert that’s so easy to make, it is spongy but not airy, chewy but not gummy with a crackly golden crust on top, while the cake underneath was smooth and springy. You can substitute coconut milk if you can’t find coconut cream; the end results will still be very delicious but slightly less rich. Mix the batter thoroughly until completely smooth.
