How do you make mochi?

Answer 1

BUTTER MOCHI 1 box Mochiko (rice flour - 16 oz. or 3 1/2 c.)

3 c. sugar

3 tsp. baking powder

2 c. fresh milk

1/4 lb. melted butter

5 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. coconut extract

1 can coconut milk (12 oz. usually in frozen food dept.)

1 c. coconut Mix all ingredients, pour into a well greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake 1 hour at 350 to 375 degrees, test with toothpick comes out clean, nice and brown. Cool, cut in squares. 1 (1-lb.) box mochiko

2 (3-oz.) or 1 (6-oz.) boxes Jello

1-1/2 cups sugar

1 (12 oz.) can Kern's fruit nectar (any flavor)

12 oz. water

Potato starch for dusting

Jello/Nectar Combinations: Apricot/peach Jello with apricot nectar; fruit punch Jello with strawberry nectar; orange Jello with orange soda. Spray a 9 " x 13" pan with cooking spray.

Mix together mochiko, Jello and sugar. Mix in nectar and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the greased pan. Cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes. Let mochi sit for 15 minutes; then remove the foil. Cut when cool. Dust cutting surface with starch and flip mochi out of pan onto the starch. Use a Pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut. Cut off hard edges and dust each piece of mochi with starch as it is cut. (we are cutting ours into 2" x 1-1/2" pieces - should get 36 pieces)
