Pie Dough Ingredients- 300g Wet Sticky Rice Flour (recommend using glutinous rice soaked for half a day and ground at a mill)
- 1 Egg
- 100ml Milk (adjust amount based on the consistency of the sticky rice flour)
- 60g Sugar
- 1g Baking Powder
- 1g Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
**Step 0: Prepare Ingredients**
First, for the wet sticky rice flour, soak glutinous rice for about half a day and then have it freshly ground at a mill. Prepare your chosen fillings such as nuts, dried fruits, beans, red beans, or chestnuts.
Step 2
**Step 1: Prepare the Figs**
Wash the fresh figs, remove the stems, and slice them thinly. Finely chop the dried figs. Aim for a size slightly larger than a bean for a pleasant texture.
Step 3
**Step 2: Sift Dry Ingredients**
Sift the sticky rice flour and baking powder twice. This helps to ensure a smooth batter without any lumps.
Step 4
**Step 3: Mix Sugar and Salt**
Add the sugar and salt to the sifted sticky rice flour and baking powder. Whisk them together thoroughly to ensure they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
**Step 4: Add Egg and Milk**
Whisk in the egg until well combined, then add the milk and mix. **Tip:** The amount of milk may need to be adjusted depending on the moisture content of your sticky rice flour. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter; it should hold its shape rather than being too runny.
Step 6
**Step 5: Incorporate Fillings**
Add the chopped dried figs and your chosen nuts or dried fruits to the batter. Mix well with a spatula or your hands until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
**Step 6: Pour into Pan**
Lightly grease your pie pan with oil instead of using parchment paper. Sticky rice batter can stick easily, so ensure the pan is well-oiled. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Step 8
**Step 7: Arrange Fresh Figs**
Artfully arrange the thinly sliced fresh figs on top of the batter in the pan. The beautiful figs will enhance the pie’s appearance and aroma.
Step 9
**Step 8: Bake**
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for at least 40 minutes. **Tip:** Oven temperatures and baking times can vary. The pie is done when the surface is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean with no batter attached.
Step 10
**Step 9: Cool and Slice**
Once baked, let the pie cool slightly in the pan before carefully removing it. Slice into your desired pieces. **Tip:** To prevent the sticky rice pie from sticking to the knife, lightly coat the blade with sesame oil before slicing. For an appealing sheen and to keep the surface from drying out, you can brush the top with a mixture of fig jam thinned with a little water.
Step 11
**Step 10: Enjoy!**
Your delicious Fig Sticky Rice Pie, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, is ready! Enjoy this healthy and delightful treat warm or at room temperature.
