KUIH KASWI GANDUM (from mamafami / hanieliza fotopages)
Ingredients : Syrup : 5 cups water 5 tablespoons brown sugar 5 tablespoons white sugar Boil all the above ingredient and allow to cool. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup tapioca flour or cornflour 1 teaspoon edible lime (air kapur) freshly grated coconut a pinch of salt
Method : 1. Get the steamer ready. 2. Grease the tray (I used a 6" x 8" tray) with a bit of oil. Then layer it with a piece of plastic. This will make it easier to take out the kuih from the tray. 3. Mix well the syrup with flour, tapioca flour or cornflour and edibe lime. (I pour everything in the blender) 4. Pour it through the strainer and into the tray. 5. Steam for about 30 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting using a plastic knife. 6. Mix the grated coconut with a bit of salt and coat the kuih before
