mochi..maybe? updates on the continuine Great Mochi Experament!
So as I said yesterday - the recipe I tried didn't work. But because I only had a smaller pan I still had half the mix left...
and then i found this recipe:
Mochi cake
Measure Ingredient
1 pounds Mochiko
2½ cup Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking powder
½ cup Butter or margarine; melted
3 cups Fresh milk
5 Fresh eggs; beaten
2 teaspoons Lemon extract
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 cup Shredded coconut
Preheat electric oven to 350 F. Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. In a large bowl, combine mochiko, sugar, and baking powder. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour; cool. Makes 24 servings.
Its almost exactly the same - just a few different measurements, all water instead of coconut milk, and including eggs and butter and shredded coconut.
so i thought if i half that and add it to what i already have... should work right? (maybe)
Well it came close..well closer anyway.
I didn't have the coconut, and its hard to evenly divide in half 5 eggs... and sort of going by guesswork in the amounts of ingredients (specifically in the baking powder) in the batter i had left over.
But i tried anyway. cooked it for an hour - and it defiantly looked more like it, but when i checked it right under the top was like a layer of melted butter (weird) and the middle was still very gooey and gelatinous (but looking distinctly cake like) i cooked it a while longer - until i had to go to work - then left it cooling.
So i just tried some. As i said. much closer. I do believe were on the right track. the top bits and the edges were just about right (and yummy) but the center still had a sort of ...Turkish delight...jello...sort of ..texture. but not as bad as the day before.
So i think the eggs and butter are in the right direction. Maybe the shredded coconut had more use texturewize than just taste. I shall go get more flower and try this recipe properly on Saturday again.
I'll let you know how it goes.
and i guess i should buy a bigger pan ....
:p
