Recipe: Sachima (沙琪玛 Sàqímǎ)

I had fun preparing Sat Ke Mah today! Ooo wow, look at it : )

Dough, I used:

• 150g plain flour
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 of 1/8 tsp baking powder
• 1.5 of 1/8 tsp salt
• some tapioca/corn starch for dusting

1. Mix and knead to dough. Rest 20 mins.
2. Dust roller and dough with tapioca starch.
3. Roll dough to think layer (1-2mm).
4. Cut to strips of 5cm x 3mm.
5. Med-high high heat, fry for about 20-30 seconds till slightly brown.

Syrup, I used:

• 80 sugar
• 40g honey, 40g maltose/golden syrup and 10g butter
• 35g water

1. Cook all ingredients over med heat till deep golden colour, about 5-8 mins.
2. Mix syrup with fritters. (I sprinkled some sesame seeds too)
3. Into a baking tin, compress well and cut into serving sizes.

Replicating the texture that we like, I

• Reduced the amount of baking powder.
• Fry the fritters till slightly brown.
