Here’s a simple recipe for Kremes (Crispy Sweet Topping):
🍯 Kremes (Crispy Sweet Crunchy Topping)
🍽️ Makes: enough for topping a cake or 4 servings
⏱️ Time: 15 minutes
🛒 Ingredients:
-
100 ml (about 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp) coconut milk (full-fat for best richness)
-
75 g (1/3 cup) all-purpose flour
-
1 tbsp rice flour (optional, for extra crispiness)
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/2 tsp turmeric powder (for color, optional)
-
1 tbsp sugar
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
Oil for deep frying (vegetable or canola)
👩🍳 Instructions:
1. Make batter:
-
In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, flour, rice flour, salt, turmeric powder, sugar, and baking powder until smooth and slightly runny (like pancake batter).
2. Heat oil:
-
Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the kremes:
-
Using a large spoon or small ladle, drizzle the batter slowly into the hot oil in a thin stream or small circles.
-
The batter will spread and form lacy, crispy pieces. Fry until golden brown and crisp (about 1–2 minutes).
4. Drain:
-
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
5. Serve:
-
Use the kremes as a topping on cakes, martabak, or even ice cream for a sweet, crunchy finish!
💡 Tips:
-
For extra crunch, add a little rice flour or cornstarch.
-
Keep oil at consistent medium heat; too hot will burn the batter quickly.
-
You can flavor batter with pandan extract or vanilla for variety.
