Honey Butter Squares (Print Version)
Mix honey and butter with fluffy rice for chewy, buttery bites that are awesome for your snack stash or dessert.
# Ingredients:
→ Base Stuff
01 -
1.5 grams ground cinnamon (skip if you want)
02 -
1 gram salt
03 -
30 millilitres honey
04 -
400 grams cooked white rice
05 -
28 grams unsalted butter, super soft
06 -
5 millilitres vanilla extract
→ Topping
07 -
30 grams chopped nuts or seeds (totally optional)
# Steps:
01 -
After the rice slab feels cold and firm, grab the ends of your parchment and lift it out. Cut it into rectangles or squares. Scatter some nuts or seeds on top if you like crunch or want more flavor.
02 -
Dump your cooked rice, soft butter, honey, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon (if you want) in a big bowl. Stir it around until the rice looks coated and everything kind of sticks together.
03 -
Plop a sheet of parchment in a 20 by 20 cm dish. Let some hang over the edges so you can pull it out later.
04 -
Scoop your rice mix into the dish. Push it down super firmly using a spatula or your hands until it's nice and flat. Stretch some plastic over the top. Let it chill out in the fridge for about an hour so it sets up.
05 -
Eat right away, or stash in a sealed container in the fridge for up to three days.
# Notes:
01 -
To make a chocolate one, stir in 15 grams cocoa powder before pressing in the pan.
02 -
Try maple syrup instead of honey if you want a different vibe. For vegan, just pick agave and dairy-free butter.
