KUIH SAGO / SAGO CAKE GLUTEN FREE

Kuih Sago GF Recipe @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com


Most South East Asian cakes or kuih as we call it are bite sized dessert or snack,   mostly made with rice flour, glutinous rice flour, sago, tapioca flour or mung bean flour. They are usually steamed than baked or fried.

Kuih Sago is a traditional Asian dessert that was chewy in texture, made of pearl sago. I chose a different method to prepare  instead of steaming it. My cooking style requires constant stirring until the sago turns translucent  after adding them  to the sugar syrup. After cooking it was leave to cool until set. When completely cool, they are sliced and rolled in grated coconut.

Most desserts made with coconut will turn rancid  really  fast so it must be consumed on the same day other wise stored them in a refrigerator.  A jar with resealable lid works perfect to keep shredded coconut fresh and handy  in a fridge.

It's great to get a chance to discover and explore your blog.
I was intrigued by the process of making this delightful gluten free dessert. Would this recipe would work with maple syrup or coconut palm sugar in place of white sugar?
Thank you so much for sharing this tasty treat on the Healthy, Happy, Green & Natural Blog Hop! I appreciate it!
All the best, Deborah
