JEMPUT2 TEPUNG ATTA

Jemput2  Tepung Atta or fried fritters is a popular snack in Singapore and Malaysia . There are so many types to choose from, it can be sweet or savory. What I'm sharing here is made of wheat flour, onion, water and other ingredients then drop a spoonful of batter into hot oil. This is very versatile dish you can add prawn, sausage, vegetable, chicken or leave it plain if you want. Instead of wheat flour I used atta (whole wheat flour) and mashed tofu. Taste great if serve with chili or tomato sauce.

METHOD

1. Heat the oven to gas mark 4 or 180 c.
2. Grease on large baking tray with butter or margarine.
3. Mix flour, oats, and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl put to one side.
4. Put margarine or butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan and heat on a low heat until butter and sugar are melted, stir occasionally, take off heat and stir in the oat mix, beat well with a wooden spoon.
5. Scoop dessertspoons of mixture up and make into ball shapes and place on a greased baking tray when the tray is full slightly flatten the balls out with the back of the dessert spoon.

Use microwave to melt the butter, sugar and honey. It's much faster.
