Instructions

In a bowl, mix the rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In another bowl, beat the egg with the coconut milk, water and oil.
Combine the liquid with the dry ingredients until you have a smooth, runny batter with no lumps.
Lightly grease individual silicone molds or small cups, then pour in the batter to three quarters of their height.
Place the molds in a covered steamer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out dry.
Let cool for a few minutes before unmolding and serving.
