Today is the first day of Ramadan, and I needed something to join friends for Ifthar (breaking fast) in the evening. I looked up in my pantry in the midst of our movement control stay home order. And I had some basic ingredients to make a popular local pastry, which is steamed Layer Cake or locally known as Kuih Lapis.
Very simple ingredients
1 cup sugar
2 cups rice flour
2 cups water
1 cup coconut milk
mix everything together, divide into 2 portion, and color 1 part red with red food coloring.
[Picture above] After 3 mins of steaming, add a alternate thin layer of red batter. Steam for 3 mins. Repeat until all the batter is finished or the tin is full.
