If you do not have a large enough measuring glass to make the batter, you can still pour from you mixing bowl or use a ladle or large spoon.

Whisk together the dry and wet ingredients very well until the batter is nice and smooth, and then pour the batter evenly into the lightly greased or parchment-lined cups of a muffin tin.Įxpert Tip: I use a 1-quart measuring glass or a medium/large bowl with a spout to mix all the batter ingredients because the spout makes pouring the batter into the muffin cups incredibly easy. Milk, an egg, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract make up the wet ingredients. The dry ingredients are simply of glutinous rice flour, matcha powder, baking powder, and salt that are whisked together.

"Glutinous" simply means that the rice flour was made from short-grain rice and it refers to its sticky, chewy quality upon being cooked or baked with liquid.ĭo not get glutinous rice flour confused with regular rice flour which does not have the same chewy qualities.you will not get the same results!Īs for matcha, there are a number of different grades of the tea powder, each have varying qualities of color, smell, and taste.While you do not need to use a "ceremonial" grade matcha for this recipe (it's much too expensive), be sure to use a good quality one that has a nice green color and smells and tastes good. Despite the names, this rice flour is neither sweet nor does it contain gluten. The key ingredient to making the mochi is glutinous rice flour, also known as sweet rice flour or Mochiko flour. So it only made complete sense to combine the two into one delicious treat! Mochi and Matcha and I love the slighty sticky and chew quality, characteristic of mochi. Matcha is one of my favorite flavors and I love it in a latte, ice cream, or cakes. Mochi is a Japanese rice cake, most popularly known as the chewy doughy "shell" that is wrapped around a ball of ice cream. Matcha is a type of green tea made from grinding young tea leaves into a very fine powder. If you like matcha and you like mochi, you have come to the right place. Top them with melted chocolate, it's a delicious way to combine two flavor favorites! They are perfect for a quick breakfast, snacking on with a cuppa hot tea in the afternoon, or tucking into a packed lunch.
