English Singing Hinnies (Griddle Scones)

There is nothing I love more than having breakfast for dinner.  I am not someone who ever makes homemade breakfast foods in the morning because I would much rather be asleep or relaxing than working in the kitchen.  But if it’s 5 PM, than I am totally on board to make breakfast food.

For this round of making breakfast for dinner, I wanted to give an English recipe a try with an intriguing name – singing hinnies.  Yup.  That’s the name.  It’s kind of amazing.  What I was most excited about was the fact that they are basically a grilled scone.  Made with basically the same list of ingredients as any other scone recipe and the same method of preparing them, they were bound to be amazing. 

The only addition to them that might be different from other scone recipes is there is a bit of lemon zest and dried fruit.  You can use whichever dried fruit you prefer such as raisins, dried cherries, dried cranberries, sultanas, etc but I went with a dried currant (available at most major grocery stores in America or online) because they seem to fit with just about any British recipe and I like how small they are, they add a great texture.

Singing Hinny

Common questions about making singing hinnies

What is the difference between lard and butter?

The difference between lard and butter is that lard is made from pig fat and butter is a dairy product.

What is the difference between welsh cakes and singing hinnies?

Both have very similar ingredients and methods of making them but welsh cakes have some kind of sweetener such as honey in the dough while singing hinnies get their sweetness just from the dried fruit.

How can I serve a singing hinny?

You can serve a singing hinny topped with butter, honey, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

English Singing Hinnies (Griddle Scones) - A delicious breakfast treat! A scone-like dough grilled on a skillet until golden brown and crispy.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 oz unsalted butter (1 stick, cold)
  • 4 oz lard (or a second stick of unsalted butter, cold)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 cup dried raisins or currants
  • 4-6 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Add in butter and lard and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or two knives. Alternatively, combine in a food processor and pulse until the butter and dry ingredients have turned into a sandy consistency.
  2. Add in lemon zest and dried fruit. Slowly add in milk until the dough comes together. If you are struggling to get your dough to come together, toss in into a stand mixer and mix on low until it comes together.
  3. Roll your dough out onto a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/4"-1/3" thick. Cut it into circles using a 2" circular cutter or using a small bowl and a sharp knife to cut around the bowl.
  4. Bring a skillet or griddle up to medium heat. Smear a bit of butter on both sides of the singing hinnies and then place them on the skillet for about 4-5 minutes, depending on how hot the skillet gets. Once the bottom is golden, flip it over and continue to cook for another 4-5 minutes or until that side is also golden.
  5. Serve hot with a bit of butter or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Saffron Rice

Saffron Rice – A quick and easy side dish filled with flavor. Made with just four simple ingredients, this rice is perfect served with everything from Indian to Mexican food.

Saffron Rice

It’s Freaky Friday time again! This time, it is our Spring Edition and I am so excited to share this saffron rice recipe from Healing Tomato with you guys! Freaky Friday is where a bunch of bloggers are all assigned different blogs and we make a recipe from their site to share! None of us know who is assigned to our site so it ends up a fun surprise and a great way to get to know each other and our sites better! It is organized by Michaela from An Affair from the Heart and it’s so fun!

So I’ve been in groups with Rini for many years now and she has some fantastic vegan and vegetarian recipes that I have been wanting to try out! We both have a background in the technology industry (both of us were sys admins!) and she started her site as a creative outlet and the name of the site comes from her love of tomatoes.  Some of the other ones I considered whipping up included her caprese tart, watermelon lassi, and palak makhani.

It was a really tough choice picking which recipe to make since there were quite a few that I was interested in but I ended up deciding on her saffron rice.  I grew up eating that bag of neon yellow spanish saffron rice growing up that was chocked full of salty deliciousness so when I realized you could make that same dish right at home with ingredients that are probably already in your pantry, I was on board!

Now I made a few changes to Rini’s recipe to make it a bit my own and simplified as her’s calls for a few extra spices such as cardamom so if you want to jazz it up even more, go check out her version by clicking here! Part of why I cut it down a bit was because I live in a rural enough area that it was difficult to even find saffron up here, let alone cardamom pods and cloves that aren’t already ground but I thought it tasted fantastic and I was super happy with it!

Challah Bread

Challah Bread – A beautiful and impressive bread made with just 6 simple ingredients. This classic Jewish bread is great for sandwiches, french toast, and more!

Challah Bread

Challah Bread

Can I just say how much I love a loaf of homemade bread? Something about the pride of having it actually come out correctly and knowing that you put all that time and love into it makes it so much better.  After making a few different bread recipes the past few weeks (like my matcha milk bread), I was really dying to give making challah a try and it turned out great!

I think my favorite part about this bread was the beautiful braid.  I was pretty worried that it was going to be crazy difficult but it really wasn’t.  Included are images of the braiding process but as long as you can keep straight that you start with the furthest right strands every time and then go over two strands, under the third strand, and over the next two, then you will be fine! You just repeat that over and over again.  Alternatively, you can always do a three strand braid instead, that is totally up to you.

Homemade Challah Bread

Common questions about making challah bread

Is challah bread similar to brioche?

Yes, challah bread is similar to brioche.  Challah bread is typically a Jewish bread that is kosher with no dairy in it.  On the other hand, brioche is a french bread made with similar ingredients and it included butter rather than an oil such as vegetable oil.  Overall, they taste pretty similar.

How do you eat challah bread?

There are so many ways to eat challah! Some of my favorites include toasting it and serving it with butter or jam but you can also slice it up and use it in french toast, bread pudding, or in a sandwich.

What can you use as a substitute for challah bread in recipes?

If you are making a recipe that calls for challah in it (such as a french toast recipe), brioche or another similar light and fluffy white bread would be a good substitute.

Jewish Challah Bread

This bread is good for about a week before it starts to get stale.  My favorite thing to do with it was to cut up a slice, toast it, and have it with a bit of gooseberry jam on it.  It’s so versatile that you can eat it with both savory or sweet toppings as it is simply a nice white bread.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Additional Time 2 hours
Total Time 3 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 package instant yeast
  • 4 - 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  5. Repeat the same process of going over two, under one, and over two for the remaining strands of bread until you run out of space. Tuck the remaining bread strands under to make the loaf look nice and clean. Transfer to a lined sheet pan.
  6. Beat the remaining egg until smooth and then brush on top of the bread. You may sprinkle sesame seeds or poppy seeds on top or leave it plain. Let rise for an additional 20-30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the oven to 375. Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the bread has cooked through and the top is a rich brown.

German Apple Cake (Versunkener Apfelkuchen)

by Leave a Comment

German Apple Cake (Versunkener Apfelkuchen) – A classic German apple cake ready in just 45 minutes! Flavorful butter cake with whole sliced apples topping it!

German Apple Cake (Versunkener Apfelkuchen)

Something I remember about my trip to Germany many years ago was just how delicious all of the food I had when I was there.  The schnitzel, pfeffernusse, roggenbrot, and more! One of my favorite things was a versunkener apfelkuchen, a delicious cake with full apples in it.  It’s different from other apple cakes that have chunks of apple mixed right into the batter whereas this one has a quarter of an apple thinly sliced and placed on top to create the beautiful top to the cake.

This is really a great fall recipe to make as it has so much apple and a bit of cinnamon in it.  I served it topped with a bit of powdered sugar, homemade whipped cream, and hot apple cider and it tasted like fall!

Common questions about making german apple cake (apfelkuchen)

What apples are best for apple cake?

For this german apple cake, smaller sweet, not too mushy apples such as jazz or honeycrisp are perfect.  If you are using larger apples, you may need to cut them down a bit so that they cook through.  I found that you only want the apples to be about 1″ thick at most.

How long does apple cake last?

This apple cake can stay fresh for about 2-3 days or about 5 days if refrigerated.

Can you freeze an apple cake?

Yes, let the apple cake fully cool and then wrap tightly with plastic wrap.  It can last for up to 3 months in the freezer when stored that way.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs and beat until mixed together.

Matcha Milk Bread

Matcha Milk Bread – Light and fluffy pull-apart Japanese bread that is easy to make! This milk bread recipe uses the tangzhong roux method with a touch of matcha!

Matcha Milk Bread

Matcha Milk Bread

I’m back with another version of my ever popular Hokkaido Milk Bread recipe! This version has been popping around my head for a while because I thought that adding matcha would add a nice, subtle flavor to the bread.  Once I got around to making it, I was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it is.  Dare I say that I like it even more than the original version?

Japanese Milk Bread

As I said in the previous milk bread recipe, I first had milk bread in when I was visiting Tokyo and I was instantly a fan.  Making it at home is really easy but you just need to keep in mind that like most breads, it takes quite a while to make but it is worth it!

To serve it, I suggest heating it up just a bit and spreading some butter on it for breakfast.  It’s delicious!

Hokkaido Milk Bread

Common questions about making milk bread

What is milk bread?

Milk bread (or shokupan) is a Japanese bread made from a Tangzhong base.  It is a very light and fluffy bread with a springy texture that is lightly sweetened.

Why do you need dry milk in bread?

Dry milk helps create a tender loaf of bread and gives it flavor.

What is a Tangzhong?

Tangzhong is an Asian baking technique in which part of the dough is cooked with water ahead of time in a roux.

Other tips and tricks on this milk bread recipe

  • I highly suggest using at least a 9″x4″ bread pan that is deep.  Mine was not as deep as I would have liked it to be so the bread spilled over the edge of the pan a bit instead of growing as high upward.
  • This bread is a little sweet and great with butter or jam on it!
  • You can turn this bread dough into a dinner roll recipe instead! Divide the dough into 16 pieces, roll the dough into balls, transfer to a greased 8″x8″ pan, and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown on top and 190 degrees inside.

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Additional Time 1 hour 45 minutes
Total Time 2 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients

Starter

  • 1/4 tablespoon bread flour
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup water

Dough

  • 2 1/2 cup bread flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, 1 yeast packet
  • 1 tablespoon dry milk powder or sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tablespoons matcha

  • 1/2 cup milk, room temperature
  • 1 egg, room temperature and beaten
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together bread flour, sugar, yeast, dry milk powder (optional), matcha powder, and salt. Once mixed, add in milk, starter, and beaten egg. Using the dough hook attachment, beat on low for 5 minutes. Add in butter and beat 5 more minutes. Turn the speed up to medium and beat for a final 5 minutes. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
  3. Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 equally sized pieces. Roll each out to be 8"x5" and then fold each of the long sides in 1". Starting on one of the shorter edges, roll up and place in a greased 9"x4" pan. Repeat with each piece of dough. Cover and let rise for an additional 45 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once the dough has risen, brush the top of the dough with heavy whipping cream. Place into oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the inside is 190 degrees.
  5. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes before removing bread from pan. Let cool on a cooling rack before serving.

Chipotle Chicken Tacos

Chipotle Chicken Tacos

Chipotle Chicken Tacos – A quick and easy meal filled with flavor! Chicken covered in a spicy chipotle sauce and topped with tasty toppings in a tortilla.

Did you know that September is National Cholesterol Awareness month? It’s such an important aspect of maintaining good health that we don’t focus on enough, so I think having a month dedicated to it is a great way to gain awareness of it. Going into September, I have been trying to make some of my favorite recipes lighter by replacing just a few ingredients with ones that are better for me. A clinical study showed that Mazola® Corn Oil reduces cholesterol 2x more than extra virgin olive, oil so I wanted to give it a try. To learn more about this claim, see Mazola.com. Once I heard about the study, I knew it was time to switch and give it a go in my next dinner recipe. Mazola Corn Oil is an all-purpose, cholesterol free cooking oil that is a smart heart-healthy* choice for your family. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health. It has a variety of uses including baking, grilling, sautéing, stir frying, or mixing up a marinade or dressing.

Mazola Corn Oil

For my recipe for National Cholesterol Awareness month, I wanted to make a healthier spin on a classic chicken taco. For my version, I was envisioning grilling the chicken instead of frying it and coating it with a crunchy batter, substituting a crema made with mayonnaise and sour cream for plain Greek yogurt, using corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas, and using Mazola Corn Oil instead of a different cooking oil such as vegetable, canola, or peanut. Additionally, instead of a slaw that is bogged down with sauce, I decided to simply mix fresh lime and red cabbage together to add a little extra crunch and flavor to the tacos.

Chicken Tacos

Easy Taco Recipe

To give the tacos more flavor, I decided to make them chipotle chicken tacos with a bit of spice and flavor. You would never know that these tacos have lower cholesterol!

Chicken Tacos

Mazola Corn Oil is great because it is a heart-healthy*, all-purpose, and cholesterol free cooking oil that can be used for anything such as baking, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, or even adding to a marinade. *See Mazola.com for more information on the relationship between corn oil and heart health. Mazola Corn Oil has four times more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than extra virgin olive oil and one and a half times more than canola oil. I used it in both the marinade for this recipe and in the pan to keep the chicken from sticking. Mazola Corn oil has a neutral flavor that allows the ingredients you are cooking with to shine through, plus it has a higher smoke point than most cooking oils at 450 degrees. I had no idea that cooking oils all have different smoke points and that if you exceed them, they can negatively affect the food’s flavor and nutritional value. You can reduce cholesterol and saturated fats in your diet by doing simple substitutions like using Mazola Corn Oil instead of butter!

    onion powder, cumin, honey, and Mazola® Corn Oil. Mix until combined and
    then place in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to marinade.

    the cabbage. Mix and then refrigerate until ready to serve.
  3. Pour about 1 tablespoon of Mazola® Corn Oil into a large pan over medium heat. Place marinaded chicken in the pan and cook about 8-10 minutes, mixing occasionally, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  4. Warm up corn tortillas and serve with the chicken, red cabbage, cilantro, and a bit of plain greek yogurt drizzled on top.

Notes

Instant Pot Pork Stew – Tender and delicious pork stew made in just 40 minutes! Tender pork, carrots, and potatoes are filled with flavor!

With fall just around the corner, I’m getting so excited about all of the cozy recipes I get to make such as casseroles, soups, and stews. My favorite recipes are those that are not only cozy, but quick and easy to make so that I can focus on spending more time with friends and family and less time in the kitchen.

If you hadn’t noticed, I LOVE Smithfield® Pork. Between my spicy pork ramen, cuban sliders, and cajun pork pasta, I have made a lot of recipes with their pork.  I love the versatility and different ways it can be prepared so that it can fit into just about any dish! They focus on being real fresh, real flavor, real fast with their fresh and flavorful all natural ingredients that are always made with 100% fresh pork with the perfect marinades and seasonings!

When I saw Smithfield Rotisserie Tenderloin at my local Walmart, I was immediately excited to try it. I thought it would be perfect in a pork stew recipe to serve at my upcoming cabin trip with family. To make it, I thought using my instant pot would be a great way to speed up the recipe and reduce the amount of dishes needed since I could saute and cook the soup in the same pot.

I found the Smithfield Rotisserie Tenderloin right in the fresh meat department with all of the other pork cuts. Make sure to check out their other varieties too!

Now to make this pork stew, you only need a few ingredients – Smithfield Rotisserie Tenderloin, chicken broth, 2 carrots, 2-3 cups of baby potatoes, minced garlic, and ½ of a yellow onion. This is a flexible recipe that you can always add more to such as additional seasonings such as thyme or a bay leaf or extra vegetables including mushrooms or celery but that’s entirely up to your preference. I found this to be a simple and delicious stew as is! It ends up so tender and delicious, you will love it!

Hawaiian Fried Rice is a great meal that’s done in a snap. A fantastic easy to make recipe that has loads of flavor and is on the table in no time.

 

Hawaiian Fried Rice

I simply love using up leftovers, ‘waste not want not right’? There’s something truly satisfying about using up every last bit of a meal. Creating new and inventive ways to use up the leftovers makes me feel like I’ve accomplished a huge task. 

 

If you’d like to try Minute® Ready to Serve products for yourself, simply hover over the photo above to click through to Walmart.com for purchasing. So easy!

Take ham for example, down to the very last bits I do my best to find creative and tasty ways to utilize all of it. Plus it helps with the budget, leftovers are a great way to stretch the grocery budget.

Not to mention the fact that many recipes using leftovers are quick and simple. This brings me to a wonderfully easy meal that I just have to share with you today, Hawaiian Fried Rice. 

This recipe nicely used up the remaining portion of some ham I had in the fridge. I tossed the cubed pieces into a skillet along with some pineapple just to warm it all up and get a little caramelization happening. A drizzle of Teriyaki Sauce and a little bit of sliced green onion and that’s it. 

Oh, but I did serve it over a bed of delicious rice. Friends, with a quick and easy dish like this you need quick and easy rice too. This is when I reached into my pantry for Minute® Ready to Serve Garlic & Olive Oil Jasmine Rice. The rice added just a touch more of subtle flavor to this meal. 

When I say quick and easy I mean it! Pop Minute® Ready to Serve rice into the microwave for 90 seconds. Just fluff with a fork and you can serve immediately. Great for a quick lunch, a better-for-you-snack or an easy add-on to dinner. Pop some veggies into Minute® Ready to Serve rice if you desire, it is gluten-free and contains no preservatives.

Minute® Ready to Serve rice is good to go anytime, anywhere. With school, work, social time and everything else I have to tackle I love the convenience of Minute® Ready to Serve rice. Great for on-the-go, busy lifestyles like mine. 

I stocked my pantry shelf with Minute® Ready to Serve rice varieties last time I was at Walmart. You’ll find it located in the rice aisle. It is available in these three NEW great flavors: Cilantro & Lime Jasmine Rice, Southwest Pinto Beans with White Rice and Vegetables, and Garlic & Olive Oil Jasmine Rice. These varieties are available in 7 oz. larger single cup packs.

 

While shopping at Walmart, save on Minute® Ready to Serve rice by using the Ibotta app. Until 8/4/19, you can earn $.50 on Ibotta when you purchase one Minute® Ready to Serve product at Walmart!

 

Don’t you just love a quick and easy meal? Can’t wait to hear about what you’ll make with Minute® Ready to Serve rice, leave me a comment and let me know.

Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese

Looking for a hearty yet meatless meal? Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese is filling, flavorful and is a delicious one-pot meal in 30 minutes or less.

Vegetarian Mac and Cheese

Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese

I love a hearty dish as much as the next person. Good old stick to your ribs meal that leaves you feeling satisfied and your hunger conquered. I also like having recipe options that are meatless and easy to prepare. 

Being a student, I have a hectic schedule. For this reason, I am always happy to find a quick recipe that will get dinner on the table in a flash such as this Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese. 

Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese is a one-pot meal that is done from start to finish in less than 30 minutes. Can’t beat that, can you? Plus there’s always leftovers, which are great for packing up and enjoying in between classes. 

Chili Mac and Cheese

I also love that Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese has simple pantry ingredients. Of course the cheese will come from my refrigerator, but all in all, I have everything I need to make this meal easily on hand. 

One of the key ingredients that make this comfort meal shine is Better Than Bouillon. Did you know that Better Than Bouillon offers a selection of vegetarian and certified vegan products? Yes, they do and they are perfect for taking your recipes to the next level with depths of flavors you’ll love.

Better Than Bouillon’s vegetarian and certified vegan flavors include: Seasoned Vegetable Base, Roasted Garlic Base, Organic Seasoned Vegetable Base, Vegetarian No Beef Base, and Vegetarian No Chicken Base. 

I used Better Than Bouillion Vegetarian No Beef Base in my Vegetarian Chili Mac and Cheese to add some extra flavor while keeping the dish meatless. You can use it as a broth or even as a marinade to impart additional flavor. The product comes in a concentrated paste and will boost the flavor or any meatless dish or plant-based meal.

Easy Mac and Cheese Recipe

Once you’ve opened a jar of Better Than Bouillon, simply refrigerate. Such a better alternative to canned broths that I forget in the fridge and expire quickly once opened. Let alone cubes which can be gritty or give you a hard time dissolving thoroughly. 

I find using Better Than Bouillion a snap. You only need 1 teaspoon of the concentrated paste added to 1 cup of hot water. Stir to easily dissolve. 

Fun fact: my university is ranked as the “snowiest” university in the United States. With the cold and snowy winter months approaching I’ll be making this yummy dish regularly. Such a great meatless meal that’s full of flavor.

Filipino Carioca

Filipino Carioca – A delicious dessert recipe from the Philippines! Fried sticky rice balls with a coconut caramel sauce that are addicting!

Filipino Carioca

Filipino Carioca

I am so excited to be sharing this fantastic recipe from The lovely Abigail Sotto Raines’ new cookbook Rice. Noodles. Yum.  This great cookbook just came out a few days back and I got the chance to have a copy of it to check out! If you love southeast Asian food or if you have never tried making any recipes from the region before, it is worth checking out.  There are so many recipes in it that I am really excited to try out that range from fun noodle dishes to bite sized desserts such as this carioca recipe.

Carioca Recipe

When I first flipped through the cookbook, I was completely drawn towards her carioca recipe.  It was a treat I had never had before but it sounded right up my alley with loads of coconut and caramel sauce.  The recipe called for just seven simple ingredients that I was able to find right at my local grocery store.

Rice Noodles Yum

Apart from coconut, the other main ingredient in carioca is glutinous rice flour.  If you have never used it before, never fear! It is avaliable at most grocery stores or right on amazon (HERE is the one I used).  It is different from rice flour because glutinous rice flour is made with short-grain white rice while other rice flours are usually made with either long-grain or medium-grain rice.  Weirdly enough, despite the name, glutinous rice flour doesn’t have gluten in it!

Karioka Recipe

Now carioca can either be served on a wooden skewer or individually.  The skewer is definitely less messy but I opted to serve them individually with toothpicks to poke in.  After placing them on a plate, I drizzled the caramel sauce on top and then poured the extra in a little bowl to dip the carioca into.  These are definitely best served immediately but I found that you could re-crisp them up by placing them in the oven at 350 degrees the next day for just a few minutes or in a pan over medium heat, making sure to turn them over at least 1-2 times.  If you do not not plan on serving them all at once, try to avoid drizzling those you are saving with the caramel sauce.  They will get much more soggy.

Filipino Dessert Recipe

One more additional note, if you do not have sweetened shredded coconut, you have a few options.  You can use unsweetened shredded coconut plus 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar instead.  Additionally, if you only have shaved coconut instead of shredded, put the coconut into a food processor with the shredding attachment and run it until the coconut is closer to the shredded consistency.

Filipino Carioca

Filipino Carioca - A delicious dessert recipe from the Philippines! Fried sticky rice balls with a coconut caramel sauce that are addicting!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups glutinous rice flour
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk
  • 2 cups neutral cooking oil for deep-frying (more if needed)
  • 1 can coconut cream
  • 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the glutionous rice flour, sweetened shredded coconut, and coconut milk until a dough forms. Scoop out about a tablespoon of dough and shape into a ball. Repeat until all the dough is used up. A cookie dough scooper is helpful for this.
  2. Heat the cooking oil in a saucepan over medium heat to about 350 degrees. To test if the oil is hot, dip skewer into it. When bubbles form around the skewer, the oil is ready. Fry the dough balls in batches for 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned all over. Scoop onto a strainer lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat until all the balls are cooked. Set aside.
  3. In a saucepan, stir together the coconut cream, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. When it starts to boil, lower the heat slightly, stir and cook for 5-8 minutes or until the mixture has thickened.
  4. Dip the balls into the sauce, or to avoid sticky fingers, thread about four balls onto a wooden skewer and pour the caramel sauce over. Serve individually or on skewers.
