Do you have a recipe for bibingka ? I see then online, bu I need one I know for sure wil lturn out.

I love that stuff. We used to eat all the time when we lived in Hawaii.

OMG I love it too and I miss it!
I had to call my dad for the recipe, he makes a mean bibingka! I remember selling/eating them during the cold season (oct-dec) coz they're best served with hot tea!

BIBINGKA RECIPE

(2 cups) uncooked rice
(2 cups) water
3 eggs
(1/2 cup) sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter, plus additional for brushing
(1 cup) thick coconut milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 sheet banana leaf
(8 oz) cottage cheese or cheddar cheese, grated

Cooking Instructions:

***Soak the rice in water overnight. Drain rice, reserving the liquid. In a blender or food processor, grind the rice finely, make sure to add just enoug of the reserved liquid so the mixture is not dry. Set aside for about 12 hours at room temperature.***

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC (350º F) Beat eggs in a bowl until foamy. Add sugar and butter until fluffy. Pour the coconut milk into the ground rice and mix well. Blend into the egg mixture, beating well until smooth. Add baking powder.

Banana leaves should be passed over an open flame for a few seconds before use to soften them, so that they do not crack when folded. Alternatively, dip the leaves in boiling water until they just start to soften.

2.Line 2 small baking dishes , or heatproof pans, about 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter, with banana leaves. Brush banana leaves with butter. Pour mixture into the baking dishes, distributing evenly. Top with grated cheese and brush with butter again.

3. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serve hot with cheese on top and grated coconut flesh on the side.



If banana leaves are not available, you can substitute it with wax paper, but I tell ya, the leaves gives off added flavor to the rice cake. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

That recipe sounds so familiar. I think my mom and aunts use to make it when we lived in Guam.

oh yum, thank you so much.
