Kueh Bakul

Ingredients :
1) 250 g glutinous rice flour
2) 190g sugar ( 150 g brown sugar & 40 g dark brown sugar ) or 190g Gula Melaka (or 200 g sugar if prefer sweeter )
3) 350 - 360 g water
4) 1 tsp oil or coconut oil

Instruction :
1) boil sugar & water on the stove or in PPC using bake mode uncovered until the sugar completely dissolved , cool it slightly & set aside = syrup
2) glutinous rice flour in a bowl , pour syrup into the flour in few batches , mix & keep stirring till the mixture turns smooth & even , sift = batter
3) add 1 tsp oil in the batter
4) pour batter into Phillips baking pan
5) cover pan loosely with foil

Steaming instructions ( in PPC )
1) add 3 cups water in PPC pot
2) place steaming rack ( trivet ) in it
3) place the baking pan ( with batter in it ) on the rack
4) used steam mode @ seal KPT 45 mins , when done , wait for 7-8 mins , manual pressure release or wait until the floater drops

Notes :
1) best use Phillips baking pan , so no need to line the tin with baking paper or banana leaves
2) when the cake is just done , It's quite soft , I normally wait until the next day to coat them with coconut , or wait for few days ( in the fridge ) for frying with eggs
3) it won't take long for the sugar to melt in the water , so please don't boil your syrup for too long , otherwise the Liquid will reduce
4) my recipe is fail- proof recipe if you follow the steps properly
