Kuih Bahulu

It's less than a month before we celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Malaysia... and across the world, for that matter. It'll also be the day for me to fly out of KLIA back to the USA. Well, back to Hari Raya. It is Malaysian's culture to incorporate various delectables for celebration. Not only during the Raya celebration itself; one can bet on putting a few good pounds with the variety of yumminess that is being offered a month before the days of Raya celebration, that is the month of fasting.

Kuih Bahulu is one of the traditionally and widely served pastry during the celebration for family and friends. Chinese do the same during Chinese New Year too. The kuih smells yummy and taste yummy!

Kuih Bahulu
3 eggs
1 cup of sugar
1 1/4 cup of flour, sifted
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 tsp of baking soda
2 tbsp of butter

Beat the eggs until frothy. Then add sugar. Continue to beat until the sugar is well dissolved and the mixture becomes sticky.
Add in the vanilla extract and fold in the flour gradually. Then add in the butter. Continue to beat the batter until well-blended.
Grease the kuih bahulu moulds and fill up to the surface level.
Bake in preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove kuih bahulu from the moulds and cool on wire rack.
