Kue Pukis

kue pukis 0


Another Indonesian traditional snack called Kue Pukis. One piece of Kue Pukis is Rp. 1.000. You can also make it by your own. It's quite easy as long as you have that special long square baking pan ;)

This is how to make Kue Pukis:

Ingredients:
150 grams flour (high protein)
180 ml coconut milk
1/2 tbsp instant yeast
60 ml warm water
3 eggs
100 grams sugar
Margarine for coating

Directions:
Mix the instant yeast with the warm water, set it aside. Beat the eggs and sugar until it becomes volume and thick then pour flour gradually. Slowly stir it in the instant yeast and coconut milk. Leave the batter for about 2 hours before you put it on the coated pan with margarine. You can add some toppings on the Kue Pukis like chocolate sprinkles, cheese, roasted peanuts with sugar, or strawberry jam.

This sounds delicious, I love coconut milk!

Selba said...

sara: If you love coconut milk then you would love Indonesian desserts and snacks because most of them are made with coconut milk :)

These look soooooo good! Before I make it myself, I'd love to know what it tastes like (so I'd know if I were making it properly). Gotta make it to Indonesia soon . .

Regarding the Moo cards from Foodbuzz, my full name was on it - I just 'erased' it for my photos. Have to keep the mystery, you know! 8-)

Judy said...

I wish I had that baking pan so I could make these. They look so good! What a great blog.

Selba said...

tangled noodle: It tasted sweet with soft texture and has a nice flavour from the coconut milk. It would be great if you can visit Indonesia :)

Oh... so Foodbuzz actually put the full name on the moo cards, I see.. I see.. hehehe.

Selba said...

judy: hi Judy, thank you for visiting my blog and also the compliment :)

Julie said...

Those are lovely...I'd love to try one!

J2Kfm said...

reminded me of our local Chinese snacks, the Ban Chang Kuih, with peanuts, sugar, and sometimes corn.

Michelle said...

We have these in Taiwan too!!! And Japan. :) Looks like food is universal!!

Selba said...

julie: hello julie, welcome to my blog. Not only lovely but also tasted good ;)

Selba said...

j2kfm: If I'm not mistaken, Ban Chang Kuih is more like our indonesian sweet martabak, no?

michelle: hi michelle, welcome to my blog :)
Oh.. really? does it also have coconut milk too?

History of Greek Food said...

I love coconut milk and definitely have to try Kue Pukis.Can I make them in a muffins tray?

Selba said...

history of greek food: thanks for dropping by at my blog :)
Yes, I think you can actually use the muffin tray but it would be better if you use the mini tray because you don't want to "overcooked" it but it got the surrounding brown because that's what make it special and different than cakes or cupcakes.

Pam said...

I have a feeling I could eat WAY too many of these tasty treats.

worldwindows said...

This is wonderful piping hot street food. Just love these stuff in whatever country I am in.

biz319 said...

Little Inbox said...

This is another kuih lemak, right?

Selba said...

pam: Hahaha.. be careful, coconut milk and sugar are a combination of high calories ;)

worldwindows: Do they tasted the same?

biz319: hello… thanks for stopping by at my blog :)
Whoaaa… seriously? You never tried coconut milk? Definitely must try it :) Here in South East Asia, a lot of food are using coconut milk.

Selba said...

thenomadgourmand: uh oh… now, I’m wondering what does it mean ;p

It is yummy and good for tea time.

Selba said...

Maybe you can try to find those pans at asian stores in your city?

little inbox: alamaaakkk… a reminder of lemak again, hahaha…

sc said...

so colourful and cute looking! erm, the name of the kuih's not too nice though in bahasa m'sia..

Selba said...

sc: I just found out the meaning of the word by now... Hahaha.... I've no idea where the name came from but here in bahasa Indonesia, the word is totally different for the same meaning.

Olivia said...

Yay for coconut milk again - for someone who doesn't like the stuff, you sure do talk about it a lot.

It does sound delicious, and I think I would like the texture.

Selba said...

livie: pssstttt.. don't say it that loud! ;) I guess, hate it but like it for the sake of blogging? LOL

Olivia said...

Hahah, I did read the comment where you said it was common in Indonesian desserts, so I guess you can't avoid it.

Shantanu said...

Wow! You have an amazing blog. As for Kue Pukis, this is the first I have seen them. Need to visit Indonesia one more time and try more local stuff. During my first trip, I didn't get outside of Bali.

Selba said...

livie: yeah.. pity me, no? Hehehe... You should come visit Indonesia, I believe you will love it especially to try all kind of the Indonesian food which contains coconut milk :D

shantanu: hi... thanks for dropping by in my blog and also the compliment :)

Food For Tots said...

Where did u get this recipe? Sounds great? From the kue seller?

Selba said...

food for tots: I tried to ask the kue seller what's the ingredients but it's so hard to get it from him. So, I opened my mom's recipe clippings from old magazines.

Stephanie said...

These are so CUTE! I wish we had these in the States!

Selba said...

stephanie: Hi Stephanie, welcome to my blog. You can give a try to make this kue pukis with the recipe that I put in this post :)

Marysol said...

I've never heard of this, but, being a coconut head, I'm suddenly in love.

Selba said...

marysol: A lot of indonesian food especially the desserts/snacks got coconut milk as the main ingredient. You will love it :)

maybelle's mom said...

totally new to me. I don't know much about indonesian cooking so I am finding your blog and your picnic entries very interesting.

Selba said...

maybelle's mom: Hi Maybelle's mom, thank you for dropping by my blog. Please drop by again so you can learn more about Indonesian food :)
