My mom asked me to make a huat kueh for her. Had to do it tonight since I will be having reunion dinner at mom's place tomorrow night. Hope she likes it. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Huat Huat Huat year ahead.
For those who would like to try steaming this huat kueh, here is there recipe taken off DJ Fenying's blog.
250g self-raising flour
200g brown sugar
220g coconut milk*
Mix SRF and brown sugar together in a mixing bowl.
Add in coconut milk and mix till flour and coconut milk is well combined but do not overmix or else you huat kueh might not split nicely.
Pour into a lined container and steam over high heat. If you are making a big one like mine, you need at least 40 mins of steaming. If it is in a small muffin cups, then 15 mins should be enough.
* Note: I find the amount of coconut milk is not enough. Mixture is rather dry so what I did was added a little bit of thin coconut milk (or water) to the mixture until it becomes a thick gluey mixture.
Nice huat kueh!
ReplyDeleteHuat Huat Huat year ahead to you and your family too! :)

ReplyDeleteWishing you a Huat New Year too. Your Huat kueh looks so "Happy". I just made some this weekend but my did not "smile" like yours, :(
I used rice flour instead. Do you have a recipe made with rice flour to share? I've never made one with self-rising flour and wonder if they taste the same?
Thanks.

Wish you have a huat huat rat year ya. Your huat kuih looks like a rose, very well blossom.
ReplyDeleteHi PP, I don't have any recipe with rice flour. I like this recipe a lot bcos it is very 'piang'. I have not tried huat kueh using rice flour so won't be able to tell the difference.
ReplyDeleteJadepearl and Ching, Happy Lunar New Year.
ReplyDeletewow, ur huat cake looks very nice!! opened up very nicely.. shall go try it too..
ReplyDeletejust wondering if i can substitute the coconut milk with anything else?
Also was wondering if the product would be enhanced or destroyed if i added in pandan essence?

Happy, Healthy & Prosperous 2008!!!

Happy New Year
Huat ah!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy CNY!
Hi Sandra, you can try substituting it with milk or water but it may not be so fragrant as using coconut milk but definitely more healthy. If you wants to add pandan essence do not add too much as it will smell very artificial.
ReplyDeleteAmy, you can email me at leeleet@gmail.com
Jo, Florence and Baking Fiend, Happy Happy Chinese New Year.
