Klepon is a traditional snack that is famous for being delicious. Its sweet, savory taste and chewy texture make klepon popular with various groups, both children and adults. Klepon is usually sprinkled with grated coconut to add a savory taste and richer texture.
It has a small round shape with a striking green color that comes from pandan leaves. Apart from that, the outside of the klepon is also chewy, while the inside is filled with sweet liquid brown sugar. When bitten, the soft brown sugar melts in the mouth, creating a unique sweet taste sensation.
Unfortunately, not everyone can make klepon with melted filling, you know. Instead of melting, the brown sugar filling tends to be hard and drags when eaten. This usually happens when brown sugar is used straight away for filling.
In fact, there are certain tricks to making klepon so that the filling melts better and breaks apart in your mouth. This trick was shared by YouTube user Annisaa Hawarizmi. Through one of the uploaded videos, he admitted that the sugar filling needed to be cooked first so that it melted better.
Continue making klepon skin from 500 grams of sticky rice flour, 30 grams of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, stir until smooth. In another container, mix 1 sachet of thick coconut milk and 350 ml of warm water. Then add to the flour mixture gradually while stirring. Next, add 1 tsp pandan paste to the remaining coconut milk. Then pour in the mixture until it runs out. Keep stirring until the dough is smooth and easy to roll. Before it is ready to be molded or rolled, boil water in a pan and add 1 pandan leaf.
