Peter,

Thanks for the recipe.

But I saw “? cup” for the water and sugar.

How much water wohhhh?And the sugar leh?

Hey,but I feel you should use the water lily flour-the texture is better.this was with another recipe.

Thanks for reading.

Hello Perter,

Thanks for the recipe! I tried it twice already: once with whole wheat flour and once with white flour. It worked out great the first time (whole wheat) but the second time I forgot to let the dough sit _after_ rolling them into 40g balls to let them rise. Instead, I let the whole ball of dough sit.

However, since I steamed them in two batchs, I realized my mistake after the first batch, and corrected for the second batch, which turned out great.

I’ll be making more for sure. My wife loves them!

Thanks,
Fernand

hi peter,

i tried your recipe last night.. but it came out very “rubbery!”

Any idea what went wrong?

I halved the recipe though because there are only two of us, and I made bigger ones as well as put in kaya filling.

Thanks for your recipe nevertheless

rayhana,
Perhaps not enough yeast and the dough did not rise enough. Make sure it is well kneaded. Keep it at room temperature. To make it rise faster, try leaving it on top of something warm, not scalding hot. One teaspoon is equivalent to 6g. I use the spoon used for measuring baking/cooking ingredients. Hope this will help.

hi again peter,

thank you for your pointers.

umm, i had a problem of the flour not mixing with the water. i had a hard time trying to gel it together, and ended up having to add more water.

thanks again.
