How to make Keropok Lekor ( Fish Crackers)



Ingredients
1 kg fish (ikan parang or ikan kembong)
500g sago flour
Salt to taste
125ml water
Some ice-cubes



Method:
1) Clean the fish thoroughly, remove its intestines and chop off its head and tail, leaving the body intact.

2) Make slits along both sides of the fish, then scrape off the meat; discard the bones. Pound, chop or mince the meat finely, adding salt to taste.

3) Add some ice cubes and continue mincing the fish meat. Add sago flour and water. Stir the mixture until it becomes a soft dough.

4) Dip your hand in the sago flour and roll the dough into a cylindrical shape.

5) Boil a potful of water. Drop the keropok lekor into the boiling water.

6) Wait for it to float and remove with a slotted spoon. Set aside to cool.

7) Cut the pieces diagonally into thin slices. Dry in the sun thoroughly, then deep-fry in hot oil.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1.
