Glutinous rice flour, often called "malagkit" or "galapong" in Filipino, is a versatile ingredient in Filipino cooking. It is made from glutinous rice, which is different from regular rice in that it contains a higher amount of starch. Here are some common uses of glutinous rice flour in Filipino cuisine:
Kakanin (Sweet Rice Cakes):
Bibingka: A traditional rice cake often made during Christmas, bibingka is a mixture of glutinous rice flour, regular rice flour, sugar, coconut milk, and salt. It's usually cooked in banana leaves and topped with salted eggs and grated coconut.
Palitaw: Flat, sweet rice cakes covered with grated coconut and sugar. They are often served as snacks or desserts.
Desserts:
Buchi: Glutinous rice flour is used to make the dough for buchi, a sweet rice cake filled with sweetened mung bean paste or sweetened grated coconut.
