1st attempt: all 8 bloomed nicely
2nd attempt: 5 bloomed and 3 "bald"
3rd attempt: all 8 "bald"
I was disheartened and never make this ever again.
Yesterday, MIL asked if I know how to make 发糕. I didn't dare to commit but went ahead to try it when I got home. As I do not have self raising flour, I replaced it with plain flour + baking powder + powder soda + salt. The 发糕 didn't "smile" to me :-(
I made it again this morning, using SRF and this is what I get. Not too successful though but at least I see the 4 segments.
My sister E makes this very often so I seeked her advice. I made it again using orange sugar but still using plain flour instead. Very disappointing result. The strange thing is, I didn't used SRF in my 1st attempt but all the 发糕 bloomed. I'm not a fan of 发糕 but my 2 elder kids love it. Looks like I'll be making this again soon.
