Description
Ground rice batter (glutinous rice and regular rice ground together, or rice flour as a shortcut) is mixed with coconut milk, sugar, and eggs. Poured into a banana leaf-lined clay pot. Baked with heat from below and above (traditionally charcoal on both sides). During the last minutes, topped with sliced salted duck egg, grated cheese (queso de bola or cheddar), and a brushing of butter or coconut cream. The banana leaf chars slightly, contributing its signature aroma.
