Ingredients:
- 10 eggs
- 500 gm glutinous rice flour
- 2 cans coconut milk (about 500 ml each)
- 500 gm white sugar
Method:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F.
- Beat the eggs and mix with sugar very well.
- Add coconut milk and glutinous flour, and combine until very smooth.
- Use a 24cm x30 cm baking tray, or two smaller trays. Don’t use any trays that are too deep, it’s hard to cook through otherwise. Line a baking sheet at the bottom of the baking tray. Lightly brush or spray oil around the edges.
- Pour the mixture into the baking tray, bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Test it with a needle. If it comes out clean, it’s done.
Many of our suppliers & customers will be celebrating on Saturday and we wish you all a Happy New Year 2020!
