Post a Comment On: Wake Up and Smell the Cake

I have too many things to post.

The latest being my second attempt at sugee almond pudding.

Along the way I did roti kirai for the Husband's birthday, with beef rendang, failed doughnuts, and now I can't remember what else! OH. Almost famous amos cookies!

Let's do them one at a time.

First is the sugee almond pudding.

[Image]I followed the same recipe but I had rose water this time round and that made all the difference. I still did not follow the recipe exactly because I didn't toast the almonds in ghee, used store bought ground almonds, but seems good enough anyway.

One batch can serve 8 to 10 people.

900ml water
1 cup sugar
2 tsp rose water
3 cardamoms
400ml evaporated milk (1 can)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup ground almonds
150g semolina
Raisins

Heat the water, sugar, rose water and cardamoms until it comes to a boiling point.  Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the ground almonds, salt and milk. Don't let mixture come to a boil.  Add in the semolina bit by bit. Add in raisins as well. Once the semolina begins to thicken, take off from the heat. Transfer to cups/containers and garnish with almonds and raisins. It's so yummy! Even lil baby loves it (maybe cos it's sweet). Gave my mama the one with the big container huahuahua :)
