I was so delighted and excited when my friend invited me over weekend to their Sunday church where they have an 'Ang Ku' making class which was conducted by her mother in law. I brought 'ang ku fans' along (which is my hubby and my mom) to the class in SDAC Church in Sunway Damansara. (just next to Rhimba Hills development)
Recipe :
1. Glutinous rice floor (500 gm)
2. Warm water (about 2 cups )
3. Cooking oil (about 1/2 cup)
4. Pandan leaf extract (1/2 cup) - for colouring purpose
5. angku mould
6. banana leaft
7. brush
8. steamer and steamer pots
9. fillings - depends on what do you like (you can have green paste, lotus paste or red bean paste)
The ingredients
open up the floor on a big plate and then slowly add in little bit of water and panda extract.
Don't pour in all water..add in bit by bit and mixed well till you get a desire dough
when the desire dough is ready, add in oil and mixed again. Once the dough does not stick on the hand anymore means its ready. transfer the dough on to table top and work on it for a while more (roughly 3 mins) for it to really blend
Take a small amount of the dough (roughly 30 gm), make it into a ball and flatten it
scoop the filling and make it into a ball as well (about 20 gm) and place it in the center of the flatten dough.
Close the dough. make sure the filling is all fully covered by the dough. i call it the 'ang ku' ball
grease the angku mould with oil (so that it doesn't stick). and fit in the ang ku ball into the ang ku mould.
Flatten the surface. once its flatten, knock it out on a hard surface to get the moulded ang ku out of the mould
place the moulded angku on the banana left
(don't forget to lightly grease the banana leaf 1st before putting the angku on top of it)
send it to steam for 5 mins over medium low fire.
TA-DA..!! my angku is ready...!!! doesn't it look yummy...
