  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rice flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, and instant yeast.
  2. Warm the coconut milk and water until just lukewarm, then stir into the dry mixture.
  3. Add oil and mix until smooth; the batter will be slightly runny.
  4. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Stir gently a few times, notice how it thickens.
  5. Pour the batter into molds or a greased pan. Let it sit for another 20 minutes.
  6. Five minutes before steaming, fill your steamer with water and bring to a boil.
  • For cracked tops, steam over medium heat.
