It's indeed an easy recipe to prepare, but somehow I couldn't pipe the dough, it's not soft enough
So I just rolled into small balls about 10g each, flattened them slightly with fork, just like when I did German cookies
What you need:
100g butter
80g icing sugar - sifted
a pinch of salt
1 egg
50ml coconut milk
1 tbsp pandan juice (I used 3/4 tsp pandan paste)
2 cups corn flour
1 cup tapioca flour
Method:
- Sift both flours, set aside. In another bowl, mix together egg, coconut milk and pandan juice, set aside
- Cream butter, sugar and salt til light and creamy. Add in the egg mixture slowly and beat til well mixed
- Fold in all the sieved flour and mix til well combined (I folded it and give a quick whisk by mixer for about 30 secs)
- Pipe the dough or shape as preferred on lined baking tray
- Bake in preheated oven of 170degC for 10-12mins (mine was at 180degC about 15mins - check the bottom of the cookies, it's done when it's lightly browned
The texture is a combination of crunchy and melty at the same time, with a nice pandan aroma. It's lighter than the original kueh bangkit, slightly different. But we still enjoy eating it. Ian even brought some to school to eat during recess and Abby who usually don't like anything with pandan, ate quite a bit, too :)
Abby made the fish from hong bao paper and insisted me to take photo of the fish eating the cookies LOL

Hi Alice,
ReplyDeleteI see the differences in this recipe as compared to the traditional ones... Your pandan ones must be extra tasty with extra butter and pandan.
