Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Tapioca starch
- 100 grams Sugar
- 250 milliliters Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or coconut oil)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, and sugar.
Step 2
In a small bowl, dissolve the instant yeast in half of the warm water (approximately 125 milliliters). Stir well and let sit for 5 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
Step 3
Gradually pour the yeast mixture and the remaining warm water into the dry ingredients. Mix well until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Step 5
Once the batter has risen, stir in the baking powder and neutral oil. Mix gently to combine, but do not overmix.
Step 6
Prepare a steamer and bring water to a boil. Lightly grease individual small ramekins, bowls, or a single large cake pan to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling them about 70-80% full to leave room for the cake to rise.
Step 8
Place the molds into the steamer and cover with a lid wrapped in a clean kitchen towel (this prevents condensation from dripping onto the rice cakes). Steam over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Carefully remove the steamed rice cakes from the molds and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy your soft and fluffy dairy-free steamed rice cakes as-is or with your favorite toppings or dips!
