Krong Krang Fried Cookies
Ingredients For: Fried Cookies
DOUGH
2-cup flour
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup coconut cream *
3 tbsp limewater
Oil for Frying
SYRUP
1 tbsp cilantro roots, chopped fine
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
3/4-cup coconut sugar
2 tbsp jasmine water (extract)
Instructions For: Fried Cookies
Coconut cream is the rich heavier portion of coconut milk, either
from the first "pressing", or skimmed of the top of coconut milk
that's been set aside for about an hour in the refrigerator. Sift the
flour and add egg yolk. Knead the yolk into the flour while slowly
adding the coconut cream and limewater. Knead until the dough is
soft and shiny. Divide the dough into small round balls,
approximately 1 inch in diameter. You may make it larger or smaller,
if desired. The dough ball is then "formed" onto a grooved wooden
form into a small thin sheet, with "ridges" on one side. Fry the
formed dough in hot oil till golden brown. Drain well and set aside
to cool completely. In the meantime, add jasmine water to the coconut
sugar in a good size frying pan over a low heat. When the sugar is
fully melted and combined with the jasmine water , add the cilantro
roots, salt, and peppers that had been previously blended together.
Turn the heat up to medium and mix all the ingredients well. Continue
to stir, preventing the syrup from burning, until the syrup is
"fragrant". Add the cooled fried dough and distribute the syrup all
over the dough. Remove the coated dough pieces from the pan and
spread out to cool on a tray lined with waxed paper. When cold, they
may be stored in airtight container. Krong Krang Fried Cookies will yield 1 batch.
