BROWN-BUTTER MOCHI



Brown-Butter Mochi image

With a recipe that calls for exactly a can each of coconut and evaporated milks, butter mochi seems like the prime hapa example of classic postwar dump-and-stir baking. Packed with brown butter and brown sugar, this version is rife with the nutty, butterscotch notes of caramelization. The way the thick, dark crust contrasts with the chewy, faintly tropical center will bring the French canelé to mind, but these little cakes are a lot easier to make!

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing pans
1 13.66-ounce can full-fat coconut milk
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
2 cups (16 ounces) dark brown sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 3/4 cups (21 ounces) mochiko (glutinous-rice) flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Adjust oven racks to upper and lower-middle positions. Preheat oven to 350.
  • Generously grease two cupcake tins with butter, including the outer rims of each mold (this will ensure the cakes release after baking). Set aside.
  • Place butter in a medium saucepan, and set over medium heat. Cook, swirling, until the foam subsides and the butter turns golden brown and begins to smell nutty, about 4 minutes. Turn off heat, and add coconut and evaporated milks and sugar. Whisk until sugar and coconut milk melt. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Add eggs and vanilla, and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together mochiko flour, baking powder and salt. Pour milk mixture into dry mixture, and whisk until smooth. Scoop a scant 1/2 cup of batter into each cupcake mold (enough to fill each mold just under the brim). Gently drop filled pans onto countertop from a height of 3 inches to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, rotating pans and switching their positions after 30 minutes or so to ensure even baking (decrease baking time by 10 minutes if using a nonstick dark metal tin). The mochi are done when they are butterscotch brown on top and an inserted skewer comes out mostly, but not completely, clean.
  • Lightly run a butter knife along the sides of each mold, then invert tins to release mochi, and cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Don't worry if the cakes feel soft or underbaked when you pick them up - it's just the nature of mochi.
  • Store leftover mochi in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

BUTTER MOCHI



Butter Mochi image

Tender and chewy, this big-batch dessert - as comforting as cake and as fun as bar cookies - is always a hit at parties. Mochiko, sweet rice flour, not only gives it its distinctive marshmallow-like softness, but it also lends a natural sweetness. This version of butter mochi uses only coconut milk for its richness and subtle nutty taste, but you can substitute equivalent amounts of whole milk, evaporated milk or a combination of those liquids. Butter mochi develops a crackly top that stays crunchy the day it's baked, making it a delicious dessert to eat without adornment. But, if you'd like more crunch, you can sprinkle dried shredded coconut evenly over the top before baking, or, for a tangy, colorful top, you can coat it with the passion fruit glaze below.

Time 2h

Yield 1 (9-by-13-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons/84 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
3 cups/453 grams mochiko (sweet rice flour), like Blue Star brand
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
4 large eggs
2 cups/416 grams granulated sugar
2 (13.5-ounce) cans unsweetened coconut milk (scant 3 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 packed cups/219 grams confectioners' sugar
2 to 4 tablespoons passion fruit pulp or purée (see Tip)
Pink or red food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the mochi: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch cake pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the mochiko, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Prepare the batter in a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer or whisk: Whisk the eggs and sugar until pale yellow and thick. Continue whisking while pouring in the coconut milk, then the butter and vanilla. Continue whisking while gradually adding the mochiko mixture. Whisk until the batter is completely smooth. Pour into the prepared pan, then tap it against the counter to get rid of any air bubbles.
  • Bake until golden brown and crackly, 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. When you press the center, it should bounce back but not indent at all. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the parchment paper to slide the cooled mochi out of the pan.
  • The mochi is delicious plain, but you can add a glaze if you'd like: Mix the confectioners' sugar with 2 tablespoons passion fruit pulp until smooth. It should be thick but drippy. If needed, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons pulp. If you'd like to create an ombré or sunset effect, scrape some into another bowl or multiple bowls and tint with food coloring. Spread the glaze evenly over the mochi, in stripes if you'd like, and let stand until set.
  • Cut the mochi into squares or bars. Serve immediately, or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

BUTTER MOCHI



Butter Mochi image

Butter mochi is a mainstay at any island party: a perfectly chewy, slightly sticky, and just-dense-enough coconut-custard glutinous rice cake.

Provided by Alana Kysar

Categories     Dessert     Hawaii     Coconut     Tree Nut Free     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Dairy     Summer

Yield Makes 20 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups skim milk
One 1-pound box mochiko flour
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
One 13 1⁄2-ounce can coconut milk
1⁄2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
A few pinches offlaky salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with butter or oil.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and milk. In another larger bowl, whisk together the mochiko, sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and, with a wooden spoon stir until well combined. Add the melted butter and coconut milk and mix until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and rap the pan on the counter a couple of times to bring any air bubbles up to the surface. Evenly sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the mixture, a handful at a time, being careful not to jiggle the pan too much, as you want the coconut to stay on the top. Then sprinkle on a few pinches of flaky salt, if desired.Bake until the mochi is set and golden brown on top, about 1 hour. Set the pan on a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing into rectangles using a plastic knife to minimize sticking; I cut four columns and five rows to make twenty 2 1⁄4 by 2 1⁄2-inchpieces. If the knife seems to be sticking, rub it with a little unsalted butter or neutral oil. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality glutinous rice flour. This will give your mochi a chewy and slightly sticky texture.
  • Toast the glutinous rice flour before using it. This will help to develop its flavor and aroma.
  • Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients. This will ensure that you get the precise measurements you need for a successful mochi.
  • Don't overwork the mochi dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy.
  • Let the mochi dough rest for at least 30 minutes before shaping it. This will allow the dough to relax and become easier to work with.
  • Boil the mochi balls for the correct amount of time. If you boil them for too long, they will become tough and chewy. If you boil them for too little time, they will be undercooked and gooey.
  • Serve the mochi balls immediately after boiling them. This is when they are at their best.

Conclusion:

Brown butter mochi is a delicious and unique dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect mochi balls that will impress your friends and family.
