The 'Harp Tou Sou" was not my 1st attempt...I've been making this almost every year but not last year...;p So this year, there are request on this..:)
About the "Kueh Bangkit"...this was my 1st time baking. I admit it was not as tasty as those I tried, but it still acceptable.
Gula Melaka Kueh Bangkit
Recipe:
90g gula melaka or palm sugar
150ml concentrated coconut milk
30g butter
1 egg yolk
250g tapioca flour
few blades of pandan leaves
Method:
~ Stir-fry tapioca flour with pandan leaves over low heat until flour becomes light and airy. Remove pandan leaves, cool flour and store for 1 week before using.
~ Combine gula melaka and coconut milk in a pot. Simmer over low heat until sugar dissolved. Strain through a sieve and keep aside.
~ Place flour, butter and egg yolk in a big bowl, mix evenly. Add in coconut mil syrup slowly and knead into a dough. It should be non-glossy looking dough and firm enough to stand without collapsing to one side. (Coconut milk syrup may not be totally needed as there could be a little surplus)
~ Wrap dough and rest for 30 minutes.
~ Remove from wrap, knead dough until softened again then roll flat to a thickness of 1/2cm.
~ Cut out dough with desire cutter and arrange on lined baking tray.
~ Bake at 170'C for 20-25 minutes. Cool well before storage.

ReplyDeleteSo are you coming??
Thank you for sharing. Happy baking to you too.
ReplyDeleteHi Jobless Girl,
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome...:)
Hi I like hup tou sou too but is alkaline water a must? If I buy a bottle it'll go to waste. Can I not use it?
ReplyDeleteHi Mae,
DeleteYes, you may avoid the alkaline. I hv tried both with and without the alkaline but the cookies may turn out alittle hard compares with those with alkaline.
Hi babe, thank you for your recipe. I was just wondering , maybe there's some typo for the oil required. I did try this cookie last nite. I love this . except that I only used 1 bowl of oil instead of whole 300g . ;)
ReplyDeletehi dear, i do need that amount of oil for the recipe, Anyway you may not need the whole of it..^^
DeleteHappy Chinese New Year!!
Hi Reese, mine came out to be too hard....does the alkaline water and baking powder affected? May be I put too little.... (@_@). Just mix 1 teaspoon of alkaline water to all dry ingredients?
ReplyDeleteYes Mok.....only 1 tsp to all dry ingre. Maybe you didn't add enough cooking oil. The texture of the dough must be soft and alittle sticky.
