Equipment
- 1 baking pan 6.4x6.4 inch baking pan
Ingredients
- 250 gr coconut freshly grated
- 200 gr glutinous rice flour
- 80 gr sugar
- 2 gr salt
- Red coloring or pandan extract
- Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your steaming pan. In a mixing bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla extract with the freshly grated coconut. Mix with a spatula thoroughly. Make sure the mixture is evenly mixed. It is a dry mixture, so do not worry. Divide the mixture into 2 equal parts. Add a little bit of red coloring to one batter. Make sure the color is evenly mixed.
- Grease a 16x16 cm pan and line with parchment paper or clean banana leaf. Put the white batter into the pan. Press lightly so the surface is flat. Add the pink mixture on the white layer. Press lightly to make it flat.
- Steam for 30 minutes in the preheated steaming pan. Take it out of the pan. Let it cool completely. Cut to your preference. I like them in small squares. Enjoy with black coffee.
