KUIH LAPIS 2

KUIH LAPIS-NEW RECIPE.MUCH BETTER CHOICE.A.K.A 9 LAYERS CAKE,BUT CAN BE MORE LAYERS.

 

 

 Today,I try making a newer version of Kuih Lapis and I must say this is the best choice from now onwards.The texture is very soft,moist,chewy,but not like you are eating rubber.Normally,I had the one that is made up of rice flour and tapioca flour only,but this one has got 3 flours added to it-
rice flour,plain flour and corn flour and thick coconut milk.The taste is simply delicious!It just
bring back memories of childhood years when my mama bought home some kuih muih/desserts
from the hawker stalls and we can only have no more than 2 pieces.But soon I found the recipe
from a magazine and had make this local dessert for years.Only today that I decided to add in some corn flour after hearing my sister said her daughter in law uses corn flour,but was not so successful because it turned out hard than expected.Then,I go on to try with her recipe and surprise that I made
it successfully.The only thing that I'm not happy about is the colour.They are too light,but it's just because I do not want to add in too much colouring,hence the colours look like it's fading.

 And so,here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS;

1 Cup Rice Flour

1/2 Cup Plain Four

1/2 Cup Corn Flour

1 Cup Thick Coconut Milk

3 Cups Water

3/4 Cup Granulated Sugar

1/8 Tsp Salt

Colouring Of Your Choice

METHOD;

1.  In a saucepan,add sugar and water and bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved.

2.  In another big bowl,add in all the rest of the ingredients,and lastly the sugar syrup.

3.  Divide the mixture into 3.Add in red colouring to one mixture,green coouring to another
     mixture and leave the other mixture plain.Red,green and white.

4.  Prepare the  steamer for steaming.Steam layers by layers with alternate colours.Each layer
     steam for about 5 minutes.When all the layers are finished,steam for 20 mins more,then turn off
     fire and let cool a bit in the steamer before taking out to completely cool.Cut out shapes.
     Enjoy!

NOTE; Please don't mind about the colours.The kuih is nice,make to perfection.In case you think you like to eat the one that is made up of only rice flour and tapioca flour,please do try out my other recipe from:Here
