jeudi, février 03, 2011 Love Letters on CNY day 1 (recipe for love letters aka kueh belandah) After a very, very hurried spring cleaning yesterday, there were some kitchen equipment that I found that I wanted to try out. The most exciting one was the love letter maker. But I think my maid was more excited than me.I went out to buy some ingredients, and thanks to continuity of business, my local Shop N Save was still open. Here's my recipe for Chinese New Year Love Letters aka kueh belandah 1. 3-4 eggs (depends on your "feeling"), add 2. 150-200g sugar (depends on your preference. Mix well. 3. Add 500ml coconut milk. Mix. 4. Sift in 100g plain flour and 5. Sift in another 100g glutinous rice flour You may need a mixer for the flour to really get mixed well. Then you use a love-letter maker to bake the mixture. If you don't have one... then you can't make this :) For people who've baked/cooked before: you don't have to worry about introducing air into the mixture, just mix everything into one happy mess (this is good for parents with kids who want to "help" since they can't screw it up... too badly.) And of course, here are my pictures.  Get everything together...  Mix like mad  It will look like this (my sugar jar is empty!)  Start the cooking! The only way to know whereto place the dollop of mix, and how much to use isby trial and error - no other way, sorry!  Close the cover. Yes.  My first attempt. In the bin.  My second attempt. Not too bad.  Roll roll roll. It takes quite a long timeto cookand rolland cooland packthese love letters, soI can appreciate why it's so expensive. (and I also see why automation is so attractive.)  Perfection!  Trying other shapes. [Love Letters on CNY day 1 (recipe for love letters aka kueh belandah)] |
