Muscovado Sugar

We use traditional muscovado sugar, which is less lumpy and can be melted with hot water. If you use harder coconut sugar, it is recommended to boil it first. After cooking, you must wait for it to cool before adding flour to avoid affecting the taste of the pastry. Otherwise, the flour will be cooked and affect the taste.

Alkaline Water

We have also tried not to use alkaline water, but the color is only slightly lighter, and the taste is slightly less chewy than that of alkaline water version. For people with sensitive taste, they may slightly notice the taste of alkaline water. If there is no alkaline water or it is inconvenient to buy it, it can be omitted without much impact on the final taste. Therefore, adding or not adding alkaline water varies from person to person, and both can make delicious pastries.

Appearance

This time we used a mold with clear lines, which makes the pastry look more beautiful. If you don’t have a mold, you can also use teacups. No matter what tool you use, you need to wait until it is completely cooled before demoulding. This ensures a smooth appearance.

This pastry has a soft and sweet taste, and it tastes a bit like rice cake when dipped in coconut shreds. The production process is simple and does not require too many steps. If you can’t finish it, you can store it in a sealed box and refrigerate it for about 3-4 days, while the coconut shreds need to be frozen separately. When you enjoy it again, just take it out and steam it to taste.
