Friendly reminder: "glutinous" rice does not actually contain any gluten. It's just called that due to the texture. This is safe for gluten-free diets.

just fyi, if you like the crust part of butter mochi, i've baked the batter in mini cupcake pans (use a spouted mixing cup to pour into cups) so it's all crust. very addicting to pop the tiny chewy crispy cups into your mouth.

Fun Fact: A danish whisk is in fact from Denmark, but when people look up danish whisk in danish or it’s origins, they do not find any information about it, this is because this is called a meatloaf stirrer in Denmark and not a dough whisk or danish whisk. 🇩🇰

The original danish word for the danish whisk: “Farsrører”

Who doesn't love a well placed, "boink, boink" when squeezing your mochi?

My mom used to make this when I was a kid. She learned how to make it from one of her friends whose family lived in Hawaii when her husband was stationed there. My mom called it rice cake, which is not the other rice cake she made (Biko). We’re Filipino but I was born and raised in the United States. I learned how to make butter mochi a couple of years ago. Because of the rice flour, it’s a lot more forgiving that regular flour. I can’t cook and along with Biko, it’s the best thing I can make from scratch. Unfortunately mom doesn’t remember either cake. She has Alzheimer’s. But she enjoys my cakes.

I got my butter mochi recipe 35 years ago from my son's principal in Hawaii. We still enjoy it a few time a year. DELICIOUS.

Yes, this is very similar (if not exact) to Filipino bibinka. We also use coconut milk. The edge is my fave

My dad was born and raised in Kailua, Hawaii. My grandma made butter mochi and haupia. Soo good. I haven’t had that in 15 years at least! Now I need to make some!

If you like burnt caramelized goodies, you can also try making cassava cake! It is grated cassava root crop mixed with coconut milk, evap, condensed milk, sugar and then put in a tin container with caramelized sugar at the bottom of the container. Lastly, baked or steamed!!

I love the way she describes food and flavors.

I love your sound effects... both verbal and digital! Such fun each and every time I watch! Love you, keep 'um comin'.

I love butter mochi, after I had it in Hawaii I needed to learn to make it! Of course I can't finish a whole tray of it myself so I always brought it to work and my co-workers loved it. It's the one recipe I can make really well.

This looks like a bouncy version of gooey butter cake. Less cakey and more of the squishy buttery part. Yum

Watching with my 2 year old, he really loved your "bloops" of vanila lol! He also liked recognising the ingredients, it was fun watching with him. Think I'll make this,

[andreabatteast]

You know what might make this mochi even better? Take the leftovers and reheat by tossing a few slices in a waffle iron.🤤

[shannondore]

I don't know why I always thought mochi was hard to make but this looked really easy and it looked really delicious.

I love your energy, and butter mochi is so good.

Not too sweet and no crumbs. Perfect snack any time of the day. Great dessert for kids. Really don't need a plate or fork. Literally can hold in your hand.

I had a friend in college make this for everyone and I’ve never forgotten how wonderful and comforting it was ❤ thank you so much for sharing!!!!

[theunitedkingdom]

If anyone is reading and is thinking of making it, DO IT!! It’s so good and easy to make.

[KarinBerry]

I can tell this recipe is really good by the little dance you did after your first bite. I can't wait to try this one!
