Klepon
This is one of favorite traditional Indonesian dessert, I like its chewiness and melted palm
sugar, perfect combination yumm! I seldom make it here in the US because I'm too
lazy to grate fresh coconut and I don't really like the taste of ready bought
coconut flakes. In Indonesia you can finally find this dessert, of course with
fresh coconut flakes but I don't normally make it back there too because I can just
easily buy it hahaha.
Ingredient
Makes : around 15 balls
120 gr Glutinous rice
flour
30 gr Rice Flour
½ Tsp salt
½ tsp sugar
125 ml Warm water
10 tbsp Shredded palm
sugar for filling , you can add more if you like it sweeter
Fresh coconut flakes
(grated from ½ round of fresh coconut), You can substitute with store bought
coconut flakes ( but I say the fresh coconut flakes taste better)
Pandan paste coloring or green food coloring ( I use pink)

| That Melted Palm Sugar, I'm talking about yummm |
Methods
Grate the coconut into flakes, put a dash of salt, steam for about 15 minutes, cool it down (skip this if you used store bought one)
In a bowl mix the sweet
glutinous flour, rice flour, sugar, salt , pandan paste (or food
coloring)then pour the hot water little buy little , You don’t have to pour all
the water, Knead it over until it pliable like play dough .
Divide into about 15
balls, flattened a ball with your hand, fill in the palm sugar then
round in again into ball shapes. Repeat all the rounding process until all dough are finish. While you
round the dough, Boil water in the pan so when you finish making the balls the
water is ready:)
Put the balls into the
boiling water until it floats, then remove from the pan one by one and
immediately roll it over the coconut flakes. Put aside to other plate cool it
and ready to eat when it cools. Enjoy!
Notes: If you have some leftover, you can keep it the frigde but when you want to eat it do reheat it again in the moicrowave or steamer, because it does get hard when cold. You can keep it around 3 days in the fridge
