Tips And Substitutions

Helpful tips

• Mix the batter until smooth so the texture bakes evenly.
• Cool fully before cutting for cleaner squares.
• Use glutinous rice flour, not regular rice flour.

Substitutions and variations

• Use coconut milk for classic flavor.
• Add vanilla for a warmer bakery note.
• Cut into small squares because butter mochi is rich and chewy.
