We do celebrate Raya but rather low key, if compared to the norm.
To me it holds too many memories that aren't that memorable but that's me.
It is the festive season after a month of fasting, so feasting is inevitable although better avoidable ... LOL
There's an additional cookie to my list of kuih raya this year. Samperit! I haven't baked any in ages.
But my sister nak makan, so I searched the blogs for a yummy and good looking one.
After going through several, I came across one LiNa Pg's blog recipe for the samperit/dahlia kuih raya looked good. Terima kasih banyak-banyak, kak!
In her recipe, she used another acuan and made kuih dahlia. I used another and left out the cherries.
I used the acuan for muruku, the one that looks like a T. I pressed out long stripes before cutting it shorter.
See pics, the muruku acuan I meant is the brown coloured one. You could also use the white smaller one, but it would take longer to finish.
The biscuit is crunchy yet delicious. Very addictive, you'll find yourself eating several at one sitting!
Beware, if too thin the biscuit is very fragile.
Sprinkle some edible coloured sugar on top just before baking for some variety or colour, leaving it as it is fine too.
The recipe is as follows.
Samperit/Dahlia
source: Teratak Mutiara Kasih, Puan LiNa_Pg
300g butter
160g icing sugar (sieved)
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
240g all purpose flour
100g corn flour
160g custard powder
Method
Sieve all three flours and put aside.
In a bowl, I used a wooden spoon and combine the sugar and butter.
Do not over mix, as the dough will spread when baked and the patterns cannot be seen.
Mix just until the sugar dissolves.
Add the yolks and vanilla. Mix again.
Lastly add in the flour in 2 batches.
Mix until the dough becomes firm.
Form into balls and put into desired acuan.
Bake at 140C for 20 min or less. It depends on your ovens.
The yellow dough would turn slightly brown when cooked.
Happy Baking.
