Prepare the banana leaf by washing it first then dry it up or wipe it with paper towels
Banana leaf can be heated up as well over fire for it to be more flexible and easily to put in a molder without tearing it
Cut the midpart of the leaf
In a large bowl, sift the AF flour, rice flour and baking powder
then mix the rest of batter ingredients and don't overmix
Cut the banana leaf with the same height of your cupcake cups or molder
Place the banana leaf in the cupcake cups or molder
Scoop the batter and fill the cups till half full
For caramel like taste, scoop or pipe 1 tsp of caramel or yema sauce in the batter.
Place the sliced salted egg on top. If you don't want the egg to sink, put it when the bibingka is halfway cooked
Bake for 15-20mins @180C. On 15minute mark, check it with toothpick if it is still raw inside.
For the basting, mix the atsuete powder with the melted butter
Once cooked, top it with grated cheese and baste it with the atsuete butter
Bake it once more for another 3 mins. or until the cheese is melted
If you want to achieve the dripping yema inside, pipe it with more caramel sauce inside
SERVE, SHARE and ENJOY!
