Kueh Bakar Delicious Recipes

This Malay kueh also known as Kueh Kemboja is our family favourite. My brother used to buy it from a Malay shop near the Kajang wet market. This is the second time I made this and I was surprised that Carlos likes it. Normally I can't even get him to try any kueh I made. Since he likes it I will make this more often for him.

Ingredients :

1 1/4 cups of sugar
2 cups of flour
1 cup of pandan juice (6 pandan leaves + 1 cup of water - blended)
2 1/4 cups of coconut milk
4 large eggs
2 tbsp of melted butter
1 tsp of pandan paste
few drops of green food coloring
1 tbsp of sesame seeds (optional)

1) Pre-heat oven to 325 degree F and greased a baking pan.
2) Mix all the above ingredients except sesame seeds until well combined.
3) Pour mixture into baking pan and sprinkle with some sesame seeds and bake until golden brown or skewer comes out clean when tested. It should take an hour.
4) Cool it down before cutting.

Note : Pandan leaves or screwpine leaves are widely used in South East Asia cooking to add distinct aroma to rice, curry or desserts. If you can't find the leaves you can used Pandan paste which can be found at Asian store.
