Pumpkin Huat Kuey

I came across this recipe from one of the blog... found the ingredients and instruction quite simple, i just try to make it.. but i replace the sweet potato with pumpkin as I dont have it in my fridge :p

I steam with my baking tray as I dont have my paper cup... it turned up to be quite nice... just some of the kuey does not smile on top ..

Here my pumpkin Huat Kuey

I had amended a bit on the original recipe...

Ingredients: (make about 7 - 9 cups 100ml size disposal cups)

250g Self Raising Flour (2 cups)
250ml Coconut Milk
1 Medium/Large Egg
1 Big Pieces Of Gula Malaka(Palm Sugar) - 200 gram - 1 cup
50 ml water
3-4 Small Sweet Potato/Pumpkin (about 300g)

Methods:
1. Wash and steam the sweet potatoes until soft, peel off the skin and use a fork or finger to roughly break into pieces then set aside to cool.
2. I used normal brown sugar. You can use gula melaka if you want(place the 50ml of water and gula malakain a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until completely dissolved). Set aside for it to cool before using.
4. Pour the self-raising flour into a big mixing bowl, then make a well in the center and pour in the coconut milk and whisk a few times before adding in the egg.
5. Kept on whisk until the egg is incorporate into the batter then pour in the syrup and whisk well.
6. The mixture will be sort of like a pancake batter, lastly add in the sweet potato/pumpkin pieces(reserve some for the topping) and stir till combined.
7. Spoon the mixture into a aluminium cup(100ml)/papercup/baking tray then top with some extra sweet potatoes and steam over medium/high heat for about 20 minutes.
