I have searching for an English word to depict 'kuih' but it comes to no conclusion. Biscuit or cookies are usually referring to baked desserts or snacks. Whilst cake does not describe 'kuih' either though the closest to be. Pastry is far from right, and typically using wheat. Indeed there is no terminology that is similar, to accurately describe 'kuih'. After I did some googling, I am so glad that kuih is recognized by its own name! Proud of KUIH indeed!
 What I am going to introduce today is 'Steamed Salty Cream Crackers Kuih'. The first time I tasted this kuih was when we had picnic at McKinney Falls State Park months ago. Thanks to my friend J for steaming some Salty Cream Crackers Kuih for us as well as preparing lots of other sumptuous food! On our way home, J shared the recipe with me and I did my first experiment on the following week.
These kuihs are perfect for breakfast or tea. Ready to try?
Ingredients (makes ~ 12 kuih in muffin mold or fill up nicely 9" diameter round tray) 36 pieces of Cream Crackers (I use Hup Seng - Ping Pong brand) 1/2 cup + 3 tbsp sugar 1 1/2 cup butter - melted 6 large egg - lightly beaten 6 tbsp coconut milk (optional)
Method: 1. Crush cream cracker and set aside. 3. Combine butter and sugar. Whisk them until sugar is melted. 4. Add eggs and coconut milk. Whisk for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure all ingredients are well-mixed. 5. Add crushed crackers. Stir to mix and allow the batter to sit for 2 minutes to allow the fluid the sip into the crackers. 6. Spoon batter into paper cups about 90% full and bake for 20 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean. 7. Place on cooling racks.
 Bon Appetit!
