Cooking Stories 2 ; Tepung Pelita

Hi assalamualaikum!

I made tepung pelita few days ago, and subhanallah it was super duper easy! I’m definitely repeating them.

Here they are! Are they nice enough to be sold? Hihi

Steps are as belows (not detailed) :

Pandan juice, pure from the pandan leaves, blended all with water, then sieved.

Then add with rice flour and sugar (I used erythitol instead), and cooked them.

First layer ready. Natural green color, not the same as the ones you bought at bazaar because they add green food coloring.

Then let’s cook the upper layer!

Once the upper layers are ready, just fill them up and voila! You’ve got your tepung pelita 😋

Here’s some tips based on my first experience.

1. Put enough sugar (or sugar substitutes)

2. Put a thinner upper layer than the lower layer. Because the upper layer is bland in taste, the sweetness is from the green layer. So you would want them to be eaten together for the sweetness to sips thru.

3. I think I didnt add enough salt as well. So, season them well 😅

4. Only close the lids once they are fully cooled to room temperature. If not, you’ll get wrinkled tepung pelita 😂 (not that it affect the taste though)

So till then, assalamualaikum!
