1. Soak rice in 3 1/2 cups water overnight. 2. Combine rice with coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a rice cooker or heavy non-stick pot over medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked. Add a little more water if needed. If you are using a rice cooker, keep cooker on warm setting until rice is cooked. 3. Line a 9x13x2 inch pan with foil greased with butter. 4. Transfer rice to pan and spread evenly; smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Set aside. 5. Combine flour and 4 tablespoons water in a small cup and stir to make a slurry and set aside. 6. Combine brown sugar, butter, evaporated milk, and milk in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture comes to a boil. 7. Stir in flour mixture and whisk until sauce has thickened and is smooth. 8. Spread over rice evenly. 9. Brown top under broiler for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. Do not burn. 10. Let cool at room temperature until firm and cut into pieces with a plastic knife. 11. I decrease the sugars by 1/2 cup and cut the salt to 1/2 tsp as I do not like very sweet desserts. Sweet rice is available in Asian markets. The short grain sweet rice is normally used. Long-grained glutinous rice is used by Thai's for sweet sticky rice. Coconut milk can be purchased canned or frozen. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
