Ma Lai Koh (马来糕)
Ma told me she love Ma Lai Koh (马来糕) so this is for her.
Recipe is from Delightful Snacks & Dim Sum by Agnes Chang. It uses "lard" hence not that healthy :( I also omitted the nuts & cherries.
Ingredients A :
120g high protein flour (sifted)
90g plain flour (sifted)
1 T custard powder (sifted)
Ingredients
B :
240g
castor sugar
60g
butter (melted)
60g
lard (melted)
3
eggs (mixed with 1 t vanilla) – beaten lightly
180ml
milk
Ingredients
C :
3
t double action powder
½
t dark soya sauce
Some
olive nuts or red cherries as decoration
Method
:
(1)
Mix
A into a big mixing bowl. Add in B &
mix well until well-combined. Add (C)
& mix well. Pour into a 22cm / 9”
round tin
(2)
Sprinkle
some olive nuts & red cherries on top as decoration. Steam with high heat for 30 minutes until
cooked. Cut into pieces & serve
Note
:
This
is a very simple way of making Mah Lai Koh.
The result is very good- soft & tasty. The thickness of the batter should not be
more than 2 ½ cm before steaming, so that the Mah Lai Koh is more fluffy
