I find the candied wintermelon they have in the store are a bit too sweet so i made my own. i was suppose to wait 4-5 days but didn't have the patience to wait so i just reduced more than half of the water and used my sweeten wintermelon. it was yummy :) Will try the indonesia cantik manis kuih next. do i have to get the green bean/mung bean starch from a korean market??? don't have one near me.<br />thanks again for sharing all the cool recipes... :)<br />feliciaf.pohnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-50055212199503310472012-02-23T09:40:39.413-07:002012-02-23T09:40:39.413-07:00You are welcome mark.

But I won't rest the oil dough in the fridge because cold will slow down the resting process. Can you roll the dough wider so that when it shrink, it still a good size?

I made two attempts at this recipe. In t...Hi Ching,<br />I made two attempts at this recipe. In the first one, I used lard in both the water and oil dough, and found the doughs easier to manage with very little cracks when I rolled them out flat. <br />In my second attempt, I used cold block butter in the water dough and canola oil in the oil dough (added more than 45g because it was still so dry and crumbly), and the combined dough was cracking/peeling all over the place when I got to the bit of flattening them down to wrap the filling in, so bits of the filling were exposed before even baking them. I also found it hard to seal, because no matter how much I tried to stretch and pinch the edges together, they just shrank back and refused to stick/hold. The end result wasn't bad though, 'cos there were visible flaky layers inside each pastry and I loved the taste of the filling, just that the presentation was bad with the bits of filling visible from outside.<br />I prefer the taste of the second batch (using butter)as I find the smell of lard unpleasant. Just wondering if you had the same problem with the dough cracking etc when using butter? <br />I'm a novice in baking, so I've probably done something wrong. <br />I rested my water dough at room temperature and oil dough in the fridge, and they were covered in clingwrap. <br />I'll appreciate any tips, comments etc, because anything is helpful, thanks! :)<br />- JenJennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-53633733966329813472009-12-15T08:14:36.382-07:002009-12-15T08:14:36.382-07:00Hi Mandy, you use it as it is and rub it into the ...Hi Mandy, you use it as it is and rub it into the water dough and filling.Little Corner of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722570387776029291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497809.post-66221836116116828312009-12-14T21:30:53.375-07:002009-12-14T21:30:53.375-07:00Hi,
