Ube Steamed Rice Cakes

Putong Ube a la Marketman

• 2 lbs of ube (2 large yams)/// 1.5 cups of the grated ube (Cook ube 30-35 minutes)
• 1 cup of rice flour
• 3/4 cup of freshly squeezed coconut milk/cream from the first pressing
• 3/4 cup of Carnation evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup of white sugar
• 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons of baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Directions:
Mix this well and you get a lavender batter that is a little less thick than pancake batters. You may adjust the ube content at this point or add a little rice flour if you think the consistency doesn’t seem right.
Melt sweet butter and brush this generously inside the egg cups
Steam for 8-10 minutes.
