Happycall Kueh Bangkit

  

Yield: about 50 cookies

Ingredients:
240g tapioca flour
1 egg yolk
80g icing sugar
100g coconut cream (not coconut milk)
Pinch of salt
4 pandan leaves, dry and cut into short length

Direction:
1. To dehydrate the tapioca flour.
I used a rice cooker to dehydrate the tapioca flour. Pour the tapioca flour together with the pandan leaves into the rice cooker, and switch on 'Quick' rice cooking mode. Stirring occasionally to facilitate the drying up process. You may use the normal rice cooking mode too. The only different is the 'Quick' mode goes into heating immediately.
You can also use HCP or oven to dry-fry the flour.
When the flour becomes light and loose, then you can stop stirring and let it cool down.
Remove the pandan leaves and keep the flour in a plastic bag until ready to use. The usual practice is to keep the flour for 1 to 2 days.

2. Pour 200g of the tapioca flour and all the icing sugar into a clean mixing bowl. Sieve them before use to get rid of lumps.
The remaining 40g of flour will be used to adjust the dough moisture and to dust the work top and cookie cutters.

3. Add salt and egg yolk to 80g of coconut cream and blend well. The remaining 20g of coconut cream will be used to adjust the moisture level of the dough later.

Divide the coconut cream into 20g and 80g

4. Pour the coconut-egg mixture to the flour mixture and knead into a dough. Add the 20g coconut cream bit by bit till you get a pliable dough.

5. Line the HCPan with parchment paper. Place a gridiron under the pan to prevent burning the base of the cookies.

6. Line the work top with a piece of big plastic sheet. This helps to prevent the cookie dough from sticking to the work top, and the cookie cutter scratching the work top.

sheet and sprinkle some
flour on it

7. Dust some tapioca flour onto the plastic sheet. Take a portion of the dough and spread out by using a rolling pin. The thickness of the dough is about 0.5 cm.

8. Dust a cookie cutter with some tapioca flour and cut out a cookie dough. Make a few clockwise and anti-clockwise twists to dislodge and lift up the cut cookie dough.

9. Place the cookie dough onto the parchment paper in the HCP.

10. When you fill up the HCP, you can lock the lid and start baking.
Bake at medium low heat for about 20 minutes, or till you smell the cookie aroma.

The cookie is almost cooked if
the base turns brown

When the base of the cookie becomes light brown, flip the cookie to bake the other face of the cookie at low heat for about 5 minutes. Close the lid but not locking to let the moisture escape.

other face turns light brown

11. Transfer the baked cookies to a rack to cool. Keep in a air-tight container after complete cooling.

Oven baking

You can bake the cookies in an oven set at 170 degree Celsius for about 15 to 20 minutes.

The centre of the fresh cookies tend to be hard. It will turn 'softer' after a while :)
Tips: Use coconut cream instead of coconut milk to minimise the water content in the dough. Too much water will resulted in a hard cookie :)
