Oh no! Butter mochi should be perfectly chewy! Here are a few things to check: Make sure you're using the right kind of flour – it needs to be sweet rice flour (mochiko) for that signature chewiness. Also, don’t overbake it; that can make it dry instead of chewy. And lastly, double-check your measurements, especially the liquids. Hope this helps! Good luck!

I've had similar issues before, but I found a few tricks that might help you out! First, make sure you're using sweet rice flour (mochiko) – that's key for chewiness. Then, watch your baking time closely; overbaking can dry it out. Lastly, check your measurements, especially the liquids. Give these adjustments a try, and hopefully, you'll get that chewy texture you're aiming for!
