Baking Exploration ::: Kueh Bangkit (with step by step details)

Been a while since I bake something I can blog about!

Happy Snake Chinese New Year to everyone...

This is a traditional cookie and my attempt to bake dear's special request! Kueh Bangkit that melts in the mouth.


Ingredients:
500g Tapioca Flour - (This is the measurement needed for the dough. Need a little extra as some will be wasted during the dry fry & sieve process.)
220g Sugar
250g Coconut Milk
3 egg yolks
5 Pandan Leaves - (wash,dry it, and cut into 1/2" pieces)

Let's start:::

Pour the Tapioca Flour & Pandan Leaves in a pan.

Dry fry the Tapioca Flour with Pandan Leaves for about 10-15mins over low heat.
Tip: until the Pandan Leaves dry up.

Sieve to remove Pandan Leaves...

...and leave to cool overnight. This can be prepared a few days ahead.

Warm up the coconut milk then add in sugar and stir till sugar are fully melted. Leave aside to cool for about 20-30mins. Add in egg yolks and stir till well blended.
sad~ i forgotten to take photo of this process! Sorry!
Pour coconut mixture into tapioca flour and mix until the dough is able to stand on its own and does not have a shiny look. If the dough is too soft, add in additional flour. If the dough is too dry, add in some coconut milk and egg yolks.
Tip: If possible use a dough mixer, the dough might be a little tough to knead.
sad~ i forgotten to take photo of this process, too! Sorry!
Roll out dough and cut with cookie cutter.
Tip: Thickness I did was about 5mm.

Tip: Gently use a Pastry Cutter to take the cut out dough. Just to prevent it from breaking up.

Line them up in the tray.
*Important Tip: Please use baking sheet. 1 time per use as it leave some crumbs behind.*

You may make some designs on top of the cookie. I used a chopstick to design some imaginary look instead of having it plain. It's all up to you!
Bake over low heat at 160°C...

...until whitish in color and not golden brown that will be for about 20-25mins.
Put a side to cool before packing into boxes.
Tip 1: you may drag out the tray to touch the top of a random cookie to test if the dough have been totally cook. If it is soft let it bake for a while longer.

Verdict from deary "Delicious...! *thumbs up* Can sell already."

Hope everyone likes this detail level post & tips from my experience in baking Kueh Bangkit.
