Love Letters/Kuih Kapit/Kuih Sepit

 

It took me so many long years to make this old fashioned traditional egg roll known in the malay name

as Kuih Sepit, or Kuih Kapit. In english it is known as Love Letters or egg rolls.Traditionally,this thin runny batter is clasp/sandwiched in between two iron plates and heated over charcoal stove.

Today,I'm using the electric kueh kapit maker which I ordered online.I'm thrilled that I can finally 

make my own kuih kapit or kueh sepit at home.It was my dream every year

that I wish I can make kuih kapit at home if I got the egg roll maker.

Here I am, finally got the kapit maker and I'm so happy. I almost gave up making because it was quite laborious at first,but I learned to be patience and it took me about 3 hours to finished off the batter.

INGREDIENTS;

5 large eggs

200 g  icing sugar

100 ml coconut milk

150 g water

100 g all purpose flour,sifted

METHOD:

Combine the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl,and mix well. Add the coconut milk,water and stir in the flour.

Strain the batter and let it rest for an hour.

Heat up the egg roll maker untilthe light turned green.It is now ready to pour the batter in. Pour about

1/2 teaspoon of batter for each mould. Cover the egg roll maker. When the light turned green,open

the lid to see.. Fold the biscuit into triangle shape or roll it up.If you are not quick enough,it will

harden and can't be shape anymore.Therfore you need a fast hands to do this method of folding or rolling the biscuits.
