As I had a packet of ground peanuts left in my cupboard, I decided to try making Ang Ku Kueh. Since Lantern Festival is round the corner, I had this crazy idea of making my Ang Ku Kueh using mooncake mould. It came out fantastic with the beautiful mooncake pattern and it tasted so nice with the sweet peanut fillings. My hubby and kids like these Mooncake Ang Ku Kueh as much as I do.
* Sharing Notes:
1) I used mixer as I do not have blender.
1) I used mixer as I do not have blender.
2) I modified the dough to 20g & peanut filings to 15g which are nice amount for my moocake mould.
3) I added more water and oil to the dough as it was a little dry and I have some difficulty wrapping the peanut fillings in the dough.
4) Do not steam for too long, steam 5mins and brush with oil and steam for another 5 mins. Extended steaming will cause the design to lose it visibility.
