I don’t have a recipe for Kuih Bangkit but I wish I did. I love these cookies! For me, after pineapple tarts, nothing else comes as close to saying that its Chinese New Year. I’m not sure if there is an English name for Kuih Bangkit though.
Kuih Bangkit or sometimes called Kueh Bangkit (depending on how you spell it) is essentially light cookies made of flour and coconut milk and sugar. If baked right, they will melt in your mouth, right on your tongue, yet not crumble when stored.
I actually found an easy recipe for Kuih Bangkit with step by step directions and pictures on Little Corner of Mine. She makes it look so easy, I’m sorely tempted to try making it! Trying to get the recipe previously, I was told that you had to fry the tapioca flour in a wok to dry it through. This is so the cookie will be light. However, since this recipe calls only for it to be microwaved, hey! that makes it a lot easier! If I’m adventurous enough, I’m going to give this one a shot. It looks a sight easier to make than pineapple tarts anyway! heh…
