Ingredients
- 200 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Vegetable oil (optional, for greasing molds)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients while stirring continuously to form a smooth batter without lumps.
Step 3
Add vanilla extract to the batter and mix again to incorporate the flavor uniformly.
Step 4
Prepare your steamer by bringing water to a boil. Lightly grease individual cupcake molds or a cake pan with the optional vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared molds, filling each one until about three-quarters full to allow space for the rice cake to rise.
Step 6
Place the molds carefully into the steamer and cover with a lid. Steam over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Turn off the heat and let the rice cakes cool in the steamer for 5 minutes before removing them from the molds.
Step 8
Allow the steamed rice cakes to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or with your choice of low-fat toppings.
