Philippines · Simbang Gabi — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms it as a type of baked rice cake in Filipino cuisine, cooked in a terracotta oven lined with banana leaves and usually eaten for breakfast or as a snack.

步骤

Pass the banana leaves over an open flame until they soften and darken, then line four small tins with them.
Whisk the eggs and sugar, then the coconut milk and fresh milk.
Fold in the rice flour, baking powder and salt until just smooth. Do not beat it.
Pour into the lined tins and bake at 200°C for 20 minutes.
Lay the salted egg and cheese on top and bake 10 minutes more, until the top browns.
💡 Toppings go on halfway, not at the start. Put them on raw batter and they sink to the bottom and burn against the tin.
Brush hot with butter, dust with sugar and scatter grated coconut. Eat warm, in the leaf.

💡 小贴士

Sold outside churches during Simbang Gabi, the nine dawn Masses before Christmas, alongside puto bumbong. Buying it at 4am is the tradition.
Traditionally baked in a clay pot with coals above and below. An oven works; the smell of the scorched leaf is what you are replacing.
