Kuih Kapit is a Chinese New Year cookie in Malaysia, and also one of my favorite cookies. However, to make Kuih Kapit would consume several hours or a whole day. Because we cannot build a fire with charcoal in the house, our method uses the oven broiler.
Ingredients – Makes 2 Milo tins
- 130 g rice flour, sifted
- 1 tsp tapioca starch
- 220 g sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 250 ml thick coconut milk
- A pinch salt
- 80 ml water
- A little cooking oil
Method
- Mix all ingredients together (except cooking oil) in a bowl, whisk well. Strain the mixture into a smooth batter, cover and leave for 1 hour.
- Move an oven rack to the highest position and turn the oven on to Broil. Wipe both sides of each mould with cooking oil and pre-heat them under the oven broiler for a few minutes.
- Take the mould and pour the batter on one side of mould (you will hear the batter sizzle if the mould is hot enough), close the mould and put back under the broiler. Allow to broil for about 1 minute. Take the mould out and peek - the kuih kapit should be light golden brown. If not, close the mould and put back under the broiler a little longer. Use a knife to scrape around the edges of the mould to get rid of any excess batter that oozed out. Working quickly, remove the kuih kapit from the mould and fold or roll it immediately. The kuih kapit will become too brittle to fold after only a few seconds. Continue the process with the rest of the batter.
- Store in an airtight container.
