Name: Handesh – Bangladeshi rice flour and date molasses cakes
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 120 min
Total time: 84 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 250g Date Molasses; 400ml Warm Water; 250g Rice Flour; 150g Flour; 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon; 1/4 tsp Ground Cardomom

These Bangladeshi cakes are made from a simple batter of rice flour, all-purpose flour, and date molasses, spiced with cinnamon and cardamom. The batter needs a good whisking and a two-hour rest, which helps the cakes puff up beautifully when fried. They fry quickly in hot oil, developing a golden exterior and a soft, airy interior. Serve them warm straight from the pan, or store them to reheat later for a quick treat.
