Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornstarch
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 4 cups medium-thick coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt
- Food coloring as desired
Method
- Preheat a baking pan in a steamer over a pot of simmering water.
- Combine the flour, cornstarch, sugar, coconut milk, and salt in a blender. Process until completely smooth, then strain the batter.
- Divide the batter into two bowls. Use food coloring to color each bowl a different color as desired.
- Pour a thin layer of one batter into the baking pan in the steamer, making sure it's evenly distributed. Cover and let steam for 3 minutes.
- Uncover the steamer, and pour an equally thin layer of the other batter on top of the first layer. Cover and let steam for 3 minutes.
- Repeat the layering and steaming process, alternating colors, until you have used up all your batter.
- Remove the pan from the steamer, and allow it to cool completely.
- Unmold the kuih from the pan, and cut it into pieces.
