What was this pastry at the Chinese restaurant?!
I recently had a wonderful cake/pastry like item from a Chinese buffet!. They had a sign that said "lover flower"!.It had two layers of phyllo dough (or something similar) on the outside that had been place in a muffin pan and the points came slightly over the cup to make the petals!. Then a batter was poured in to make a very light cake that was moist and lightly sweet, and baked until light brown!. The finished cake/muffin looked very much like a yellow cake mix cake looks but very light!. Maybe rice flour!? A friend says the sweetness could be from bean curd!?
I asked the server but she did not know!. She said she thought it was an egg custard!. It did not have a custard consistency but it did have an egg custard taste!.
I would love to have this recipe but cannot find anything for "lover flower" or anything I might think it is!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was wondering if this is what you're talking about!? We call it fa gao!.
Ingredients:
2 cups rice flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup plain flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
Preparation:
Bring the water in the steamer to a boil!.
Sieve the flour and baking powder together!.
Add the sugar into the water and boil it till the sugar is all dissolved, stir constantly!. Put the syrup aside to cool down!.
Mix the syrup with the rice flour, stir and mix well!. Add in the flour and baking powder mixture, stir and mix well!.
Pour the mixture into moulds and place into the steamer to steam on high heat for 25 minutes!.
Versatility Note:
The water in the steamer has to be boiling before the cup cakes are placed inside, and it has to be on high otherwise the cakes will not cook properly!.
Do not open the cover of the steamer before it is done or it will affect the shape of the cake!.
The colour of the cake would turn out golden brown if brown sugar is used!. You can replace it with molasses if you prefer a darker reddish brown colour!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
