Hi Aunty,

I like to bake Pandan flavoured cookies but don't have greenpea flour. Is greenpea flour same as greenbean flour. If not can I replace it with plain flour or corn flour.

HI Liying,

Green pea flour - substitute with hoen kwee flour or Cornflour.

Dear Aunty Yochana

Can you share this receipe?

Never seen or heard of such cute and pungent cookies. It is really a very good "marriage" of the desiccated coconut & pandan.

It will be a great surprise for guest during CNY.

Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous CNY.

Hi Yochana
I have 2 packets of dessicated coconut and was wondering what to do with them before they expires. Your posting on dessicated cookies is timely. Could you share your recipe with me at shirlyn@singnet.com.sg please?
Thank you, shirlyn

aunty, for the kuih bangkit,
1) do you use fine or coarse sugar?
2) can i use a plastic mould where there are a few shapes in one long mould and i just fit in the dough and knock it out?
thanks for answering my question

Aunty Yochana said...

Hi anonymous,

Yes you can use the plastic mould but dust it with some tapioca flour to prevent it from sticking.

For Kueh bangkit, any type of sugar is acceptable because it will melt in the warm coconut milk.

hi busy_shim,

yeah it will stay crispy. Guess you did not bake it long enough to stay crisp.

Hi aunty Yochana

I am an avid fan of yours and I have tried few recipes which turned out very successful. Thank you so much for sharing so many wonderful recipes.

A question on the coconut Pandan cookies, do i need to line my baking tray with greased proof paper ? And also.. can i fry the desicated coconut over low fire in stead of baking it ?
