Butter Mochi is very new to me. I have never tasted it or heard about it before. It is very recently I heard about it from a friend's instagram page. It was very interesting so thought of giving it a try.
I thought to stop baking for a little while and concentrate more on cooking (I have been baking a lot for Christmas that’s why) but yesterday I was so tempted by a friend's butter mochi post in instagram. That was the first time I heard about it. Luckily I had all the ingredients. So tried it first thing in the morning. I was very surprised by the taste never expected it. It is chewy and delicious. Plus it is gluten free since it is made using glutinous rice flour. Thanks to her for the inspiration. Next time I will bake it in a smaller pan so the pieces would be more chewy.
