Kuih Lapis Pey Pey

Ok, this kuih was supposed to be posted last Friday..as I made this last week, due to unforeseen circumstances, only managed to post it today...ni case macam tak boleh tahan tengok banyak rumah yang dah melapis kuih..kiki....original recipe was double this amount, but I halved it..itu pun dah banyak juga....

The sweetness please adjust to taste ya..cause ada orang yang suka manis kalau part kuih muih gini..for my case, since warga emas kat rumah ni dua2 tu ada 'Medical certificate', so I have to adjust lah for sugar content tu ..kalau buat manis2, nanti tak ada orang nak makan pulak.heheh...Mr Hubby pun dah pesan tak mau manis2 kalau buat kuih tu....selalu 'pressure' tau nak mengadjust gula tu..rasa punya rasa sebelum dibakar atau dikukus..

The gula melaka in this recipe was to just add on to the batter, but I  gunakan air gula melaka, itu yang nampak part gula melaka layer a bit pucat aje..lagi2 gula melaka yang digunakan the colour pun memang pucat birat..huhuhu....Mr Hubby comments yang kuih ni tak nampak lapisnya kena tengok betul2 baru nampak lapisannya tu....mak ai, jenuh melapis satu2, dia cakap macam bukan kuih lapis pulak....hehe
