Huat Kueh （发糕）

发糕 is one of the recipes that I wanted to try out. Mum used to make it long time ago and I'm missing the homemade one.

Mum said that grandmother used to cook the brown sugar / gula melaka syrup first and then mix the flour together with the syrup after the sugar syrup has cooled.

Most of the other recipes I saw at Random Rumblings, FenYing's recipe and All That Matters require coconut milk, which is not mum's preference. I will try their recipes some other time to see how they taste like.



Ingredients

250g Self-Raising Flour
100g coconut sugar / brown sugar
200ml hot water

Method

1. Melt the sugar with hot water and let it cool.

2. Mix the self-raising flour and the sugar syrup together.

3. Pour batter into a bowl and sprinkle sugar across the mixture into a + sign and steam with high heat for 45-50 minutes.
