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.
If the water starts to get hot and the process is boiling, then shape each klepon dough into a round shape and fill it with the brown sugar that was formed earlier. Cover the brown sugar with dough until the surface is smooth. Then put the mixture into a pan filled with boiling water. "After forming, put the dough straight into boiling water and don't let it sit in an open container. If we don't put it in straight away, the brown sugar will leak because the texture of the glutinous rice flour is runny," explained Annisaa.
