Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pans: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pass banana leaves over an open flame quickly to make them pliable. Line round tart pans or a baking dish with the leaves and brush lightly with butter.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter: In a bowl, sift the rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, mix the coconut milk, beaten eggs, and melted butter.

  3. 3

    Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined and smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the lined pans, filling them about halfway. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges start to set.

  5. 5

    Add Toppings: Remove from the oven temporarily. Arrange the salted egg slices on top. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is lightly browned.

  6. 6

    Serve: Brush the hot bibingka with more butter and generously sprinkle with freshly grated coconut before serving.
