Kuih Raya Practice

Last Monday, I practised the making of "kuih raya"(cookies). Sounds funny, emh?! No, thats all for my children's snacks. At first, they were very happy as if the raya is too near. But, after they have seen the two bottles of cookies, they bored already. For your information, I made the Almond London cookies into three different colours, dark brown (chocolate), pink (strawberry), and white (white chocolate). On the top, I put the crushed almond and the sweet rice. But....it is actually not good for children or even adults. Why? Because they are sweet.....

Here is the recipe for Almond London Cookies:

450g plain wheat flour

250g butter

150g castor sugar

1 egg

1 tsp emplex

1/2 tsp baking powder

cooking chocolate

Almond(whole)

Almond nibs/sweet rice

Method:

1. Sieve the flour,emplex and baking powder together(keep aside).

2.Beat butter and sugar.

3. Put the egg.

4. Put the flour, baking powder and emplex.

5. Mould and make the dough into small round shape and put the almond inside.

6.Make it until all done and arrange nicely into a pan.

7. Bake at 180 C for 15-20 minutes.

8. Dip into melted chocolate , put into a paper cup and sprinkle with the almond nibs/sweet rice.

*Melt cooking chocolate with two tablespoon of vegetable shortening using double boiling technique(boil water in a pot and the chocolate in a pan on top-so that that it will not easily burnt)*
