Say hi! to my bangkit bears :) Yes, those cuties are kuih bangkit ; a type of chinese cookies made from tapioca flour. Auchan was having a chinese kitchen promotion and brought in lots of ingredients which normally not available on their shelves. We made a trip there last weekend so that I could finally stock sesame oil and hoisin sauce...woohoo! Then I was ecstatic when I saw tapioca flour!!! Got to have 'em , don't know what to do with them (never used it before *blush*) , but got to have it!
Next, of course the drill is to search for a recipe. Found quite a number of interesting use for the flour; however, I think the one from Little Corner Of Mine was the easiest, plus she had included useful tips to obtain the right texture for the cookies.
The tips work superbly! The slightly browned base gives a smokey (not burnt!) taste first when popped into the mouth and it just melts in the mouth ...mmmm . How fun to see the initially skinny bears gained weight (raised) after coming out of the oven :D
