Recipe Note
Tips for Success:
- Cool Completely: Ensure the butter mochi is completely cooled before cutting to avoid it sticking to the knife.
- Light Variation: For a lighter, cakier texture, reduce the butter to 1/2 cup.
- Extra Coconut Flavor: Add 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut to the batter before baking for an enhanced coconut flavor.
- Correct Flour: Use glutinous sweet rice flour, not regular rice flour, to achieve the chewy texture.
Enjoy making this delicious Hawaiian Butter Mochi, a delightful treat that brings a taste of the islands to your home!
