Butter Mochi

~The best recipes are often the ones passed on from someone else who also loves food. I take no credit for this recipe, but it'd be a crime not share this with the world. Whenever this friend brings her fabulous butter mochi to our potluck dinners, I have to try very hard not to hide the platter. And I don't even like desserts!

16 oz Blue Star Mochiko flour

2 ½ cups sugar

2 tsp baking powder

12 oz can evaporated milk

14 oz can Natural Value Organic Coconut Milk coconut milk

3 eggs
