Bibingka- Filipino Pancake
 The recipe that we have here is an
alternative to the traditional. Since
most of us do not have clay pots
around and it is impossible to find
Bibingka ovens we’ll be using
ordinary cake pans and our kitchen
oven instead.. For now, we’ll settle
for an alternative ingredient that
needs no preparation at all –
rice flour.
 We will need ordinary rice flour for
this recipe, not the glutinous one.
This should be available in any
Asian or Filipino store in your area.
The traditional way of cooking Bibingka
is unique and quite time consuming. The
mixture is poured on a clay pot lined with
pre-cut banana leaf. A special clay oven
known as “Bibingka oven” is needed to
bake this rice cake. The clay pot is
placed between the layers of the
Bibingka oven and lit charcoals (locally
known as “uling”) are placed below and
above the clay pot to evenly cook the
mixture.
