Kuih Gulung

Kuih Gulung, which also known as Kuih Ketayap is one of the famous traditional desserts in Malaysia.  You can find easily at roadside stalls in Malaysia. I can say that Kuih Gulung is one of Malaysian’s favorite kuih. It looks like Popiah, but the ingredients and taste  are definitely not the same. It is a rolled up pandan flavoured pancake with gula melaka and coconut filling. Pandan gives the pancake a lovely and attractive light green color and wonderful fragrant flavor.

Ingredients

2 cups of wheat flour

½ cup of coconut milk

4 pandan leaves

½ shreded coconut

1 piece of  palm sugar

1 tea spoon of salt

1 large egg

Coconut Filling.

Put in the palm sugar into a pot. Put about 1 cup of water and pandan leaf.  Heat the mixture until it melt.  After that, put in the shredded coconut and mix it. Then add 1/2 tea spoon of salt. Blend it until the mixture is even and pour diluted wheat flour. Stir until it dries up.

Pancake.

Blend 3 pandan leaves with water.  Put the blended leaves onto a sieve and squash to get the abstract. Then stir the pandan leaves abstract together with wheat flour, egg, coconut milk and ½ tea spoon of salt. Add water and stir until the mixture is even and a bit diluted.  After that, heat a non stick cooking pan and pour the dough. Move the pan around to spread the dough evenly. Use the same technique as making crepes. Wait until it cooked. Remove from the pan and fill it with the coconut filling. Then, roll the pancake like a ‘ Popia ‘. Repeat the steps until you have used up all the dough.

My all time favorite kuih! 

I have tried my own style Kuih Gulung and yes homemade Kuih Gulung is always the best! We can put few drops of pandan essence to make it more delicious. We can put how many coconut filling we want. We can also make the size of the pancake either big or small. We can also make different shape instead of just roll it up. So why dont you give yourself a try to make your own Kuih Ketayap!
