Makes 6 cupcake sized servings.
Step 1
Sift the rice flour and baking powder (1 teaspoon) into a bowl. Combine rice flour mixture with coconut milk.Mix well until you get a smooth batter. Add boiling water, mix well and set aside to cool.
Step 2
When cool, stir in the 2nd teaspoon of baking powder and set aside for 1 hour.
Step 3:
Add sugar to the batter after 1 hour.Also add the vanilla essence.
Divide the batter into 2 portions. Add different food colouring to the batter.
Line aluminum cups (I used a 6 cups muffin tin) with paper cups. Pour batter into cups until 90% full and leave to rise for 30 minutes. Steam over rapidly boiling water for about 15 minutes. Remove from the kettle/steamer and allow to cool. Can be left at room temp for 2 days but refrigeration is best.
(A rack in a large dutch oven or canning kettle works well if you don't have a steamer)
