Got hold of this recipe from a fellow blogger, Leelee. However I was warned that the recipe is not accurate and more liquid is needed. Looking at how well done Leelee's fa kaos are, I was really tempted to give it a try. Afterall, I wanted to make somefin simple this weekends, as I'm recovering from a flu and so is my DD. These will be given to my mom, who loves eating fa kaos. Too bad tho' my fa kaos din smile! it looked totally different from what Leelee made. Here's the recipe (according to my adjustments) for those who like to give it a try. Maybe you guys will have better luck making these "chinese muffins" smile!
What you need
- 250gm self-raising flour
- 150gm soft brown sugar (original recipe called for 200gm, which i think will be too sweet)
- A 200ml pack of coconut cream
- 100gm of plain water
What to do
Sift self-raising flour with brown sugar twice.
Open the pack of coconut cream and add the 100gm water. Add this to the flour mixture.
Mix the liquid till combined. (I used a whisk). You have to achieve a "ribbon-like" batter. Add more water if need be.
Pour batter into moulds lined with paper liners and steam on high heat for 15 mins. (I used tart moulds and this recipe yields 10pcs)
PS : I welcome any suggestions to improve on this recipe and to make them SMILE.
ida did u try the method where u dip the knife in oil and make a cross before steaming?
ReplyDeleteHi Amrita,
ReplyDeleteI din do that... did u? yrs turned out pretty well!
I didnt to it...But maybe ur heat was not high enough to 'pop' it......leelees and yochanas look very fluffy......yours and mine look alike....
ReplyDeletethe water was rapidly boiling when i placed the batter in there. hm...will give this recipea nother try someday.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah i also added 50ml extra water only...not 100 ml.....
