Recipe Tips

To make the rice flour mixture smoother, you can sift the rice flour before adding it to the pot. Be sure to use a non-stick baking dish so the maja blanca doesn't stick. You can also line the baking dish with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the maja blanca. Lastly, be sure to let the maja blanca cool completely before slicing to get clean and even cuts.
