PALM SUGAR PROSPERITY KUIH [HUAT KUIH]

One more workable recipe for smiling steamed palm sugar kuih. This recipe is from Amy Beh published in one of her books.

Ingredients and steps to do are quite simple if you read through the recipe.

The prosperity kuih smiled beautifully as can be seen in the pictures here. I was really happy seeing a tray of 'smiling' kuih when I removed the cover. Must be lucky and prosperous with this result, hehehe!

These kuihs are soft and moist. The sweetness is just nice.
