Putri Salat

Makcik level unlocked y'all! My first successful kuih Melayu kukus. I call this putri salat but some people call it Kuih Seri Muka too. I googled a few recipes and did a few tweaks (orginal from here) so here's what I used. This makes a perfect balance of pulut and custard cos I don't like when the pulut is more than the custard. Like a rip off. Also, I only had 285g of pulut left. HAHA.

Pulut
200ml santan milk
285g pulut/glutinous rice
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp oil

Soak the glutinous rice with water for about an hour prior to using. Drain the water. I used my IKEA glass bakeware which I don't know the size, probably 8x5 inches? and oiled the whole baking dish. Mix the santan, salt and pulut together and let it soak for a bit. Put pandan knots if available. Steam for 30 minutes. Fluff up the pulut, get the santan all mixed well then flatten the steamed pulut with a greased spatula. Make sure there's no gaps. Steam for another 10 minutes.

Pandan Custard Layer
3 egg yolks + 2 eggs
200ml coconut cream + 50ml coconut milk
7 tbsp flour + 2 tbsp cornstarch
140g sugar
150ml pandan juice

Combine pandan juice (already premade, don't ask me for pandan essence substitute cos I prefer the natural one), coconut milk, flours and sugar. Mix well. Add eggs and whisk. Place pandan mixture on double boiler method and cook till custard starts to thicken like kaya. Make sure you stir continuously. Pour pandan custard onto pulut layer and continue steaming for 30 minutes. Remember to cool completely before cutting!


Happy with the outcome! See the layers! Not too much of pulut!



So so happy when everyone I gave loves this! I should do this more often, and try out other kuih Melayu too since now I'm an expert at steaming hahaha.

I also tried steaming bread pudding using my usual recipe, and it turns out way nicer than baking. Faster too!

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
