Butter Mochi with Brown Butter and Coconut

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 08:30:00 +0000

Butter mochi is a Hawaiian bake with a texture unlike almost anything else in a home baker’s repertoire: dense, chewy and faintly gooey in the middle, with a deep golden, slightly crackled top that turns almost caramelised at the edges. My twist is to brown the butter before it goes anywhere near the batter, trading the flat richness of melted butter for something toastier and more complex, and to lean harder into coconut with both coconut milk in the batter and toasted coconut flakes baked into the top.
