Kuih Kosui

Kuih Kosui or Kueh Kosui, how you spell it, they are the same.  Many left me comments in my earlier post, asking for the recipe but I was lazy to type out the recipe as it was scribbled onto a piece of A5 paper.

Thanks to Aspiring Bakers, I am finally able to post the recipe now.  Found my old photographs from the harddisk and went to dig out the recipe from a pile papers with handwritten recipes.

I love Kuih Kosui but there are some that leaves an aftertaste.  I attribute that to an overdosage of alkaline water (lye water).  Having tried out a few recipes, this is still the best as it can be eaten fresh from the fridge, no thawing needed.  What's more, no alkaline water used!

This is good, really good.  If you trust me, give it a try and let me know how this turns out for you. I gave some to SM and she texted me immediately when she popped one into her mouth, while driving!  Her mom loves it too :-)  She reminded me to pass her more if I were to make this again hahaha!

I'm submitting this to Aspiring Bakers #12: Traditional Kueh (October 2011) hosted by SSB of Small Small Baker.
