Of late, i find myself wanting to bake something that I have the least interest in, not until these last few months ... like baking traditional kuih or cooking dishes that are not even on my cooking list. I guess age is catching up on me that I am starting to cook what my mom used to cook ... :0
Last nite I was so bored that I started flipping my 'Saved Recipes - Not Tested' folder. These are collections from so many sources ... my friends, cousins, food blogs, magazines, etc. Then I came across this recipe and I thought the steps are quite simple.. in a dash, I was already in my lil' office preparing the ingredients. I like this kuih and this is my second time trying. The first one was not at all successful :(
Anyway, you will need the following ingredients to make this nice Kuih Bakar Pandan:
A
10-15 pcs of pandan leaves
2 cups water
Blend these two ingredients and sift to get the pandan juice. Take 1 1/2 cups of pandan juice. Set aside.
B
2 cups plain flour
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 cup sugar (cut down to 3/4 cup, if required) - I used 1 cup
2 1/2 cups coconut milk (2 cups coconut milk + 1/2 cup water)
3 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
Green color / pandan paste - to tint the kuih green
Sesame seed (optional)
Blend A and B for 3-5 minutes. Sift.
Add color if you want the kuih to be green in color.
Coat your baking pan with cooking oil (base and sides). Pour blended mixture in a baking pan (7" x 7"). Sprinkle sesame seed on top of the mixture. Bake for 1 1/2 hr on 160 degrees temperature- use the top grill for the last 15 mins to brown the top layer of the kuih (to make it more crusty) - optional.
The result ..... voilaaa!! Love the soft texture

| My sesame-seed-less kuih bakar panda... it was quite wobbly when you take it out from the oven. So let it set and cool for a few hours before serving. |
