You can certainly try frying the flour at low heat, even add a knot of pandan leave for fragrant. Fry until light. I am in an area where it is very dry to begin with, so microwave method works for me. I found it hard to knock the cookies out of the KB mould too hence I used the cookie cutter. Anyway, good luck on your next attempt.

It was also really hard to knock the cookies out of the traditional wooden mould that I specially bought; had to use a cookie cutter in the end.<br /><br />Anyway, I did quite a bit of reading up and most recipes say you have to "fry" the tapioca flour a long time till the flour is light. So I was very surprised to see that you only nuked your flour for 1 minute! Maybe that's why your cookies turn out inconsistent. Just wanted to let you know. I will try KB again this year...KLGirlhttp://www.klgirlnowinipoh.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-83685148768850849722013-01-06T12:50:37.505-07:002013-01-06T12:50:37.505-07:00Hi Carine,

I put 4 pandan leaves, cut into 1 inch length pieces and fry together with the tapico flour, smells goood.<BR/><BR/>I use 100ml of coconut cream 1st, adding just a little more to make it a dough. DO NOT add too much, if you see flour and crumbs at still not knead in, push it in, there is still moisture inside the dough sometimes not mix well.<BR/><BR/>Use a wooden spoon 1st in order not to melt the icing sugar too fast which will create a too soft dough. Then when its completely press in, i use my hands to just knead for a while.

I just baked KB yesterday. I also mixed the eggs, coconut milk & butter together before adding in the flour. The first batch I put into the oven came out denser and needed more time to bake in the oven. Whereas the later batch cooked faster and lighter and more crisp in texture, so I don't know what happen leh. I'm thinking maybe the second batch has been sitting in the counter and waiting and thus the dough got drier and thus required less time to bake and crispier? Just my guess though. To me, what kind of flour/coconut milk used doesn't matter, just when you mixed them together, the dough has to feel right, not too wet and not too dry. The outcome of my KB is different each time too! But as long as it's not hard rock but crispy & melt in the mouth, I'm happy.Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-23755467415586142862008-01-27T19:14:00.000-07:002008-01-27T19:14:00.000-07:00Hi, I tried the receipe again over the weekend. St...Hi, I tried the receipe again over the weekend. Strangely, the outcome was different from my first attempt. The first time round, I used topica flour and packet coconut milk. My family said the coconut taste is not pungent enough. The texture can be improved. My 2nd attempt, I used topica starch as I can't get the same topica flour. Then I put in the mircrowave oven for 3 more minutes since I made double the receipe, stirring after each minute. For the coconut, I used freshly squeezed ones, just the first layer, without any water added. I can feel that the flour quickly absorbs the coconut cream and I had to add much more than what the receipe ask for to make it wetter and workable. When I rolled the dough, I can still feel the difference, it's not as soft as the first time though I added more coconut cream. The cookies turned out slightly more compact than the first attempt. The taste was still there but I find that fresh and pack coconut does not make a difference. I wonder what went wrong with the texture. It's not as fluffy than the first try. Is it the coconut, the more kneading as I had to add more coconut slowly, the egg yolk to flour proportion or the fact that the flour was in the microwave longer and therefore drier or the flour itself? Any difference between cooking and not cooking the coconut milk? What does cooking coconut milk make to the cookies? Also, does mixing the eggs, coconut milk and butter all together before adding to the flour make a difference as well?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-79038596986791492802008-01-27T09:39:00.000-07:002008-01-27T09:39:00.000-07:00Hi Rin Rin,The recipe is under my Kuih Bangkit pos...Hi Rin Rin,<BR/>The recipe is under my Kuih Bangkit post, the post before this step-by-step guide.
