Kuih Bakar is also known to be called Kuih Kemboja and this malay kuih is like eating kaya(egg custard) in a slice, it is sweet but not as rich. It should be baked in a flower shaped mould which is made with bronze but unfortunately i do not own one, so i have to bake it in a 6 inch cast-iron skillet/pan. It tasted just as delicious only without the signature shape.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
400 ml (1 can) coconut cream
50 ml water
1/2 tsp pandan paste
4 ozs all-purpose flour
4 ozs fine granulated sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Sesame seeds
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 f. and put in cast-iron pan for heating.
Beat eggs and sugar till sugar dissolves and not fluffy.
Mix pandan paste and water to coconut cream.
Add in flour and coconut cream mixture alternately to the egg and sugar mixture.
Microwave batter until it thickens slightly.
Brush heated pan with a little oil and pour batter , sprinkle with sesame seeds and put to bake for 45 - 55 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool before serving.

ReplyDeletethe color is from the pandan paste. the original recipe uses the juice from the pandan leaves which is also green but a drop of food coloring is also needed to brighten up the green.
sedappnya!!!

ReplyDeleteI've missed your posts... but glad to know that you took some time off 'cause you certainly deserve a break :-)
ReplyDeleteQuestion: I know that microwave power varies, but approximately how long did you microwave the batter (to thicken)?
Thanks Lily.

Hi I wanted to try your kuih bakar recipe. I would like to know what is the conversion for the 50ml water to cups. Thank you.

Hi Lily,
ReplyDeleteI was just wondering if you knew where I could get Pandan Paste online? I've been looking at many of your kuih recipes and a lot of them needed pandan paste, so I'm stuck with no kuih at all.
Thank you!
