Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups rice flour
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coconut milk
2 tablespoons butter, melted
5 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Rinse banana leaves under warm water and trim away thick edges. Trace the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan onto banana leaf. Quickly pass and heat leaves over stove flames for a few seconds or until just softened. Line pan with the leafs, making sure it is intact with no rips. If not using banana leaf, substitute a greased parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together until well dispersed.
  • In another bowl, combine coconut milk and butter and stir until blended. Add to rice flour mixture and gently stir until batter is smooth. Add beaten eggs and stir until blended.
  • Divide mixture and pour into the prepared pan. Bake in a 350 F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden and toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. If desired, place under the broiler for about 1 minute or until nicely charred.
