Klepon

Cultural Context

Klepon is a traditional Indonesian sweet treat, originating from the archipelago's diverse culinary heritage.

Servings4
200 gr glutinous rice flour
1 tbsp tapioca flour
pinch of salt
200 ml coconut milk
1 tsp green food coloring (pandan)
100 gr gula djawa
150 gr coconut rasp
1

Add the glutinous rice flour, tapioca and pinch of salt in a bowl and mix well.

Add the coconut milk with the dry ingredients and fold it in, this will create a dough ball. Pro tip: add a bit water if it's too dry, or add more flour if it's too wet. The consistency should be a non-sticky, dry dough ball.

Make a string out of the dough and cut into small 1 cm pieces.

5

Cut the gula djawa into smaller pieces (at least smaller than 1 cm).

6

Press a dimple in one of the dough balls and add a piece of gula djawa in the dimple. Gently push the remaining dough over the gula djawa and roll it back into a ball. Repeat this until you finished all the klepon

7

Put a pan of water on high heat and when the water starts to boil you can add a batch of the klepon.

8

Cook the klepon until they start to float to the top. Stir sometimes to prevents sticking.

9

In a new bowl add all the coconut rasp. Add some klepon to this bowl and coat all of them with the coconut.
