Kuih Bahulu



This cookie or I should say cake because they tasted more like cake and are quite similar to Madeline too. The Kuih Bahulu was baked in a heavy Tea Cake pan instead of the traditional cast iron mold.

Kuih Bahulu

Ingredients

6 Large Eggs
160 g Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
200 g Pastry Flour or Cake Flour, sifted
2 Tbsp Corn Flour, sifted
1/2 tsp Baking Powder, sifted
A pinch of Sea salt

Method

Preheat the oven to 180˚C and lightly grease the baking tray.

Combine the flours, baking powder and sea salt and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale in color. Then add the vanilla extract and continue whisking for a couple of minutes.

Fold in the sifted flours and baking powder gently until well combine. Fill the batter onto the mold and bake for about 15 minutes or until they are light golden brown in color. Lift the cake out with a thin skewer or toothpick and let it cool completely and store in an airtight container.

  1. Those are so sweet. I love the little shapes. I was confused what you baked them in. Were those little bundt pan shapes?

  5. @diva: Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure whether they 're the same but they should taste spongy inside and bit crusty on the outside of the cake.

  8. Hi Angie,

    Gong Xi Fa Cai! Your Bahulu looks so sweet & delicious. =) Best of all, the colours are so evenly bake! Wow! =) I never like Bahulu because those I bought were extremely dry. Your Bahulu looks moist and soft to me. Can you please advice me if I have to set my oven function control to top & bottom or just bottom? I hope mine will not turned out to be hard like a rock on the outside and semi cook on the inside. =P

    1. I'm not sure, but I think heavier/thicker pan is better for this type of "kuih".

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
