INTRODUCTION
I have a number of huat kuih recipe but I still yet to have a sweet potatoes or pumpkin huat kuih.. I thought I might prepare some for breakfast tomorrow since I am looking for steamed cake..
I am very happy when I opened the steamer lid.. All the huat kuih blossomed beautifully and it is such a joy to see the steamed cake.
It was raining very heavily during the photo shooting, the images taken did not do justice to this steamed cake. It looks much better when you looked at it than in the picture. Well, I hope readers will pardon me and give this recipe a try.
Most of the sweet potatoes huat kuih recipe come from two sources – one is with the yeasted version that need the starter dough, more common among the Chinese bloggers and another one is using baking powder as the leavening agent. I have decided to try out one recipe from : Butter . Flour & Me 爱的心灵之约: 番薯发糕. with very slight modifications.
In order to enhance the creaminess, I have decided to use coconut milk instead of plain water. I am happy that her recipe works very well and I am really thankful that she shared the recipe.
