Kuih Sapit

Never in a million years would I thought of baking my own kuih sapit. Even my mom thought I was crazy when I told her that I'm going to make it myself. It's so much trouble and so much burning..well not with the one I'm making.

Ever since I found out the recipe for kuih mor (read my previous posting : http://sweetcumi.blogspot.com/2009/01/first-cny-with-kuih-mor.html). I decided that I'm going to make this CNY special. For me, CNY was just another day. It's not a holiday in US. And since I'm a grown up now, there'll be no angpow (red pocket). When I was a kid, CNY was the only time we got to wear new shoes, new dresses, drinking soda and eating cookies all together on a same day ! But these days, I could be doing all those every day.

So I got my kuih sapit machine from amazon. I was so excited. I came home early that day to greet the UPS guy that delivered the package. :) ha..ha..It was so happened that my work schedule that day was light. And one hour later, I sent a picture to my hubby, showing off my kuih sapit.

The recipe was courtesy of Amy Beh (http://kuali.com/recipes/advresults.asp?index=2&page=1&k=&c=&v=0). Very easy to make.
