in one of my entries, i mentioned puding buih as one of the food tha i associate with bulan puasa. for those who dont know puding buih, it's a pink coloured rose flavoured (think air bandung) foamy meringue pudding eaten with custard sauce. usually the one sold outside is not nice at all, with too runny custard sauce, n not too meringuey jelly.i've made one 2 days ago, n was quite happy with the results. the jelly is light n foamy, the custard is thick...i've decided to post the recipe to the readers.
puding buih
jelly
1/2 packet of agar
3 glasses water
2 tablespoons sugar
rose flavouring
red colouring
3 egg whites, beaten until stiff
boil the agar with water until dissolved. add in sugar and the flavouring n colouring. add in the meringue, blend, n then let it cool for awhile (2-3 mins)beat the mixture until the meringue n the jelly r well-mixed (if using electric beaters, beat for 15 mins or until the mixture is slightly cooled). if it is not well-beaten, the meringue will rise to the top, leaving the bottom plain n without the foamy meringue. pour into moulds n leave to set.
custard sauce
3 tablespoons custard powder
1/2 glass sugar
1/2 tin of evaporated milk
1 glass water
cook all the ingredients until u achieve the desired consistency.
serving
pour the custard sauce onto the jelly.
