Kueh Bangkit

my favourite CNY cookie! Cannot say is easy to do. It takes effort to make this melt-in-the-mouth cookie. Took me a whole afternoon to do. Is easy to buy from supermarket or bakery, but not easy to find tasty one. Melt in the mouth is what I like. To melt in the mouth, the sago flour needs to be dry, no moisture. This called for frying of the flour. I am lazy to do so. I used the method of baking the flour in oven. This will not create a mess in my kitchen. When fry the flour, the flour will fly everywhere in the kitchen. I find it hard to handle.

Ingredients
800g sago flour
3 egg yolks
250g icing sugar
240g coconut cream (ayam brand)
pandan leaves (wash, cut into small pieces and wipe dry)
cookie cutter

Steps:
1. Put the sago flour and pandan leave into oven to bake for 30 min at about 160 degree. Stir in between baking to ensure the flour dont become brown. Evenly baked. This step is done to dry the flour, ensure no moisture.

2. leave the flour to cool before using.

3. In a bowl, stir 150g icing sugar with coconut cream with hand whisk until semi-greyish thick sugary solution.

4. In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks and remaining 100g icing sugar under high speed till creamy white andsugar dissolved.

5. Whisk the coconut sugar solution into the egg yolk mixture till well mixed at lower speed.

6, Add in the sago flour and stir till well-mixed.

7. Flour your worktop, place the sticky dough on it, roll out to the desired thickness. Cut the shape out using a small cookie cutter. (don't forget to flour your cutter too)

8. Place the cut out bangkit onto a tray lined with baking paper. Bake at 160 degree for a few minutes. Reduce the temperate after a few minutes. Keep an eye on it as the bangkit should be light beige in colour.

(there will be hairline crack on the bangkit, and the bangkit becomes a bit bigger after baking, these are normal. That's why have to use a small cookie cutter and make small sizes bangkit. It will become bigger after baking)

9. Let it cool completely before store into container.
