During this Covid 19 pandemic, it is very difficult to go out and buy the things that we need. I buy my fishes, meat, vegetables and groceries online. And in big quantities at a time. Some times I overlook the small items like the bread spreads (egg custard/kaya/jam) till they run out of stock. It would be easier to make it myself since I have the ingredients in my refrigerator.
Ingredients:
- Caramel
- 3 tbsp white sugar
- 3 tbsp water
- 4 eggs
- 200 ml santan
- 170 g brown/white sugar (I use brown)
- 3 pandan leaves, knotted
Method:
- Make caramel by boiling sugar & water till golden brown.
- Beat the eggs & brown/white sugar till the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the santan & stir till all are well blended.
- Strain the mixture.
- Add water to the bottom pot of the double boiler.
- Add caramel, mixture & pandan leaves to the top pot of a double boiler.
- Put the top pot onto the bottom pot and turn on the fire (low heat).
- Stir the mixture continuously over low heat till the mixture is thickened & is cooked.
