Kuih Mor



Wow!  The last time I had this kuih was about 3-4 years ago..  That's quite a while already!  The last one I had was so tasty that nothing else I found could beat it taste wise.  I did not want to try to bake it as back then it was easy for me to get hold of these goodies.  Once in a while, I will stumble upon a recipe that's similar to the one I like but it'll end up in one of my many scrapbooks and folders.  There are also some "Sugi Brunei" on sale, tapi tak sama lah dengan the ones I pernah makan...

A few days ago, while searching the Net, I found a few recipes for Kuih Mor Brunei.  The recipes I found differ a little from each other.  So what I did was to "mix-and-match" them...macam jadi rojak pulak!!  The final result was nice and it turned out to be the "melt in the mouth" kind! 

I guess this kuih is similar to kuih makmur or the biskut arab, just slight difference here and there.  Some people bake using butter, but I still prefer the original taste and smell using melted ghee.  One fine day, I am still going to get to eat and taste the original from Brunei!  Since I am on that topic, I also miss the buah tarab, ambuyat and the many lauk-lauk yang nyaman and not forgetting Pasar Tamu.  I am soo going to Brunei..hahaha..

Back to Kuih Mor, here's the recipe I used,

400 gm plain flour

a pinch of salt

2 egg yolks - lightly beaten

140-150 gm ghee - melted

2-3 tblsp icing sugar 

Coating : Icing sugar + milk powder (this is optional)

Preheat oven to 150C and bake for about 20-25 mins.  Mix flour, salt, sugar and beaten egg.  Gradually pour in the melted ghee and mix well.  Knead dough till a little smooth.  Roll out into small balls.  Once baked, leave aside to cool a little.  When still a little warm, roll out the balls into the icing sugar (+ milk powder) mixture.  And then, dah boleh dimakan!  Enjoy!
