Bibingka Recipe
Description
Bibingka Recipe uses a combination of rice and all-purpose flour mixed with sugar, milk, water, baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, and egg to create a runny batter. The batter is poured into pans lined with softened banana leaves, brushed with butter, and topped with slices of salted egg. The cakes then bake in a hot oven until set and lightly golden.
The result is a gently sweetened, moist cake with a tender texture from the rice flour and a mild chew from the grated coconut topping. Salted egg slices add a contrasting salty flavor, while the butter adds richness. The banana leaf lining contributes a subtle fragrant note that complements the cake's delicate sweetness.
Bibingka is typically enjoyed fresh and warm, often served as a snack or dessert during festive occasions in the Philippines. It pairs well with hot tea or coffee.
Ingredients
BATTER:
- 1 cup rice flour
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup milk fresh
- ¼ cup water
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg
TOPPINGS:
- cheese grated
- coconut grated
- 1 egg cut into 8 to 12 thin slices, salted
- butter - melted at room temperature for brushing
Instructions
- Cut circles from the banana leaves for lining the pans. It should be double the size in diameter of the pans/molds or enough to cover the bottom and sides with a bit of excess as they tend to shrink when heated. Cut another batch of banana leaves for the top cover. Rinse and pat dry the banana leaves. Run each leaf quickly over the fire to make them limb and pliable.
- Line the pans/molds with banana leaves and brush them with butter. Set aside.
- Combine all the ingredients for the batter in a bowl and mix well with a spoon or whisk until mixture becomes smooth. The batter should normally be runny.
- Divide the mixture into the pans/molds. Be sure not to fill more than half of each pan/mold with the mixture as it will rise while baking. Add 2-3 slices of salted egg on each. Arrange them on the baking sheet and bake at 200°C/390°F in the middle rack for 10 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven. Place prepared banana sheets brushed with butter on top of each pan/mold with the buttered part facing down. Put them back in the oven but this time on the top rack. If using a gas oven, turn on the top heat (grill/broil function). Bake for another 5 minutes or until nicely charred.
- Once done, remove from oven and brush each Bibingka with butter. Then top them with grated cheese and grated coconut. Serve while warm!
