Kuih Tayap Recipe, Penang Nyonya Kuih

Kuih Tayap (16 February 2013)

Kuih Tayap, also called Kuih Ketayap and Kuih Dadar is a Nyonya-style crepe that is rolled up and filled with shaved coconut. It is often nicknamed the Nyonya Baby Bolster.

Kuih Tayap is filled with shaved or grated coconut that is sweetened with palm sugar (gula melaka). The skin is coloured green using pandan juice. Kuih Tayap is popularly taken at tea time in many Nyonya households. My wife is quite good at making this particular pastry. Here's the recipe on how to do it.

Kuih Tayap Recipe

Filling

300 g Grated white coconut
250 g Palm sugar / Gula Melaka, adjust the sweetness according to your preferance
1/3 cup of water
A pinch of salt
Pandan leaves - knotted

Method:

Heat up a pan over a medium heat, add in chopped palm sugar, water, pinch of salt and pandan leaves.
Cooked until sugar dissolved, strained and return to pan. Add in grated coconut.
Cooked until the mixture thickens and glossy.
Discard pandan leaves, leave to cool.

Batter

300 g Plain flour
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 Eggs
300 ml Santan/ Coconut milk
600 ml Pandan juice
A pinch of salt

Method :

Cut pandan leaves into smaller pieces, add water and blend until fine. Strain to obtain juice.
Put all the ingredients together, mix well, strain and leave aside.
Heat up a medium size non-stick pan, coat with a thin layer of oil.
Pour a ladle of batter onto the pan, swirl the batter to cover the whole pan.
Cook over medium flame until the batter is cooked.
Flatten the crepe on a flat surface, scoop 2 tablespoons of coconut filling and put on the lower part of the crepe.
Roll the bottom up over the filling half way, fold in the sides, and roll up the rest of the way.
Roll up like folding a popiah, and the kuih tayap is ready to be served.

When mixing the batter, do not pour all of the water into the mixture in one time. Adjust to a state where the batter is neither too thick nor too thin.
The thickness of the crepe depends on how much batter you poured into the pan. Adjust accordingly.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
