Butter Mochi Recipe

Indulge in the irresistible taste of Hawaiian Butter Mochi! This beloved island dessert is a baked custard made with mochiko sweet rice flour, giving it a uniquely soft, chewy, and subtly sticky texture. While some may find it on the sweeter side, we recommend at least 2 cups of sugar for that authentic Hawaiian flavor. This recipe bakes at 350°F (175°C) for perfectly golden-brown results. Discover the magic of mochiko flour (found in Asian/Oriental grocery stores – look for the white box with a blue star!), and prepare for a taste of paradise!
