Ingredients
-
1 cup glutinous rice flour (Mochiko)
-
¾ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
-
¼ cup sugar
-
1 tbsp matcha powder
-
1 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
½ tsp baking powder
-
Cornstarch or potato starch, for dusting
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a mini muffin tin or small silicone mold.
2️⃣ Mix batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together glutinous rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and matcha powder. Add milk, butter, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
3️⃣ Fill the molds: Pour batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
4️⃣ Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes until the tops are set and edges are slightly golden. Bites will be puffed and slightly springy to the touch.
5️⃣ Cool and dust: Let cool slightly. Remove from pan and lightly dust with cornstarch or matcha powder to prevent sticking.
