Butter Rice Cakes Recipe are a simple, delicious treat made with rice flour, sugar, milk, and butter. The ingredients are mixed into a smooth batter, poured into molds or pans, then steamed or baked until soft and tender. These cakes are lightly sweet, buttery, and chewy perfect as a snack or dessert with tea or coffee.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking mold or muffin tin with softened butter to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and granulated sugar until well combined. Add the melted butter and milk to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
Sift the glutinous rice flour into the wet mixture in three increments, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
For an extra smooth texture, pass the batter through a fine sieve to remove any lumps. Pour the prepared batter into the greased mold, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
Place the mold in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the butter rice cakes to cool in the mold for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
