Video on "How to Bake" Mung Bean Cookies
June 20, 2016
Just a quick video on how to bake mung beans cookies or locally known as Putu Kacang.
And do watch the bloopers video below, for a bit of a laugh...sometimes we need that dose of laughter in our life ...;P
scroll down and read the description under the video :D
Eid celebration is just 14 sleeps away. Soon the kitchen will be in hype of activities, preparing food to break fast as well baking the Eid goodies :D
Mung beans cookies are gluten-free, vegan and nut -free cookies.
Using only 2 key ingredients {3 if you count water ;P}.
But to get that perfect percentage of moisture introduced to the flour-sugar mixture takes practice, patience and experience.... and trail of mess in the kitchen.
When I talked about practice... the 'Bloopers' video showed that making this cookie can be a tricky business, from mixing to even knocking them out of the mould.
They are that delicate!
That was my daughter in the video (she was the STAR, as she claimed she has better looking hand than mine!!! LOL) trying her hand to bake the mung bean cookies :D
Hope you enjoy both videos :D
Do hop over to my Youtube Channel for more videos :D

They look so beautiful. Will it work with lentil or even pea flour?
ReplyDeleteThank you Angie.
DeleteNot too sure how this will fare with lentil or pea flour. We have another version of this using rice flour though :D.
Hi, does it work like almond cookies (like those Macau almond cookies)?
ReplyDeleteThank you.

DeleteHi Mixue
I have not had the chance to taste Almond cookies, but with the help of Mr Google, the recipes looks almost similar :D. I cant say for sure ... sorry :(

ReplyDeleteI've never had these before, buy I grew up with a deep fried sweet made from mung bean flour that was definitely loved by me and my husband! I'm sure we would have loved these too :)
Thank you Dini :D

ReplyDeleteThank you Peter :D
Deleteoh!! I was just looking at mung beans at the store, but I didn't know what to do with them! This is great!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
DeleteMung bean flour is a better option to make this cookies. Its a tedious and messy process to grind mung beans to achieve 'flour' texture.
Stunning! I love your photos. I've never had these cookies before, but they look delicious and so delicate!
