KULKULS – A CHRISTMAS SWEET

KULKULS (SMALL SWEETENED BALLS OF DOUGH)

Ingredients

I kg flour                                          

2 eggs beaten well

1 cup thick coconut milk                

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon salt                              

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder            

 Oil for deep frying

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder together.

Add the coconut milk and eggs and knead to a soft dough. Keep aside for an hour.

Form kulkuls by taking small lumps of the dough and roll on the back of a fork or a wooden kulkul mould, to form a scroll.

Alternately, roll out the dough and cut into fancy shapes with kulkul or cookie cutters. Heat oil in a deep pan and fry as many kulkuls as possible at a time. Drain and keep aside.

To frost the kulkuls, melt 1 cup of sugar with ¼ cup of water and when the sugar syrup crystallizes pour over the kulkuls and mix well so that the sugar syrup covers all the kulkuls

Store in airtight boxes when cold.
