Amparan Tatak

Good (Friday) Morning!

Yay, no school today, altho this momma was up at 5 AM still, regardless 🤪 Are you like that as well? Isn’t that annoying? I mean, hey, you get a day off from having to prep breakfast early, driving kids to school, you could use the extra time to relax, but nope. Your body and mind has its own agenda 🤣

For today’s recipe, it’s a traditional cake that is normally using rice flour. However, I felt like chewy texture instead soft (slight firm) texture, so I used glutinous rice. It’s Banjarese cake called Amparan Tatak, often comes out only when it’s Ramadan in Balikpapan 😊

1 can of coconut milk
3/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
1 ripe soft plantain (or Saba banana)
1 c glutinous rice flour
1/2 c flour

In a bowl, mix glutinous rice flour and flour

In a pot, simmer coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt, but do not boil. Let it cool slightly to room temperature

Mash plantain and add it into the pot

Pour mixture into dry ingredients, mix until no lumps

Steam for at least 35 minutes, on medium heat

Cool cake completely before slicing
