Gula Melaka Huat Kuih

COVID - 4

With more mouths to feed constantly as well as the inconvenience of going out to make grocery purchases, I have ventured more into providing homemade breakfast.

During a trip to Malaysia late last year with my extended family, I have this supply of gula melaka in my store. Hence, I wanted some use for it and I found this recipe on Mykitchen101en. Do visit this website as there is also an instructional video on the making of this huat kuih.




Ingredients
(makes about six 7.5cm cupcakes)

160g gula melaka (coconut palm sugar)
160g water
3 pcs of pandan leaves
120g evaporate milk
250g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsps baking powder
4 tbps corn oil (or any other vegetable oil)


Method 

1) Combine gula melaka, water and pandan leaves in a sauce pot and cook till the sugar has melted.
2) Strain sugar syrup into mixing bowl
3) Add in evaporated milk, mix well, set aside until slightly cooled.
4) Bring the water of steamer to the boil
5) Sieve together plain flour, baking soda and baking powder.
6) Sieve the flour again into gula melaka mixture, mix till blended. (Reminder : add in extra 1-2 tsps of water if the batter is too thick
7) Add in corn oil, mix until combined
8) Sieve through to have a smooth batter.
