Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¾ tsp lye water
- Annatto or atsuete (dissolved in about 1 tbsp water)
- 2 cups water
- Grated coconut for toppings
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients: flour, sugar, lye water, annatto, and water. Whisk until it's all properly mixed together.
- Use a strainer to strain any lumps.
- Boil a good amount of water in a steamer.
- Rub some oil on the molds to avoid the mixture from sticking. That way, it’s easy to take out from the molds once cooked.
- Put a good amount of the mixture on each mold.
- Steam with LOW HEAT for about 30 minutes. Again, it should be on LOW HEAT.
- Let cool and remove from molds.
- You can sprinkle some grated coconut meat or cheese. Now it's ready to serve!
