Swaying Flower Cookies, Kembang Goyang

This old style swaying flower cookies or better known as kembang goyang or lentera or lentari, they are formed using rossete iron. Which is easyly found in Indonesian market, however i believe that some other countries also used this rossete iron too. 

The term of kembang goyang also refers to flower metal shape that usually worn or put as hair accessories as part of javanese traditional costume. The shape is equally same with this rossette iron except as it is an accessories it is more artfull.

Found recipe of kembang goyang in here The main reason I used this recipe is because she used glutonious rice flour, I dont have other explanation why is it good to use glutinous rice flour rather than it gives a good crunch texture to this fried cookie, as I always use it whenever I make bidaran, also another kind of fried snack.

A little advise, make sure do not submerge the mold in the batter and when it won't separate from its mold  try to reduce the heat down.

100 gr glutinous rice  flour

100 gr rice flour 

100 gr corn starch 

3 to 4 tbs sugar

pinch of salt

1 egg

1 tbs of lime stone water ( 1 tsp of lime stone diluted in 3 tbs of water, once it seperate spoon out the clear water)  
1 tbs of ginger juice (made from crushed ginger mix in water)

350 ml coconut milk

oil for frying 

Methods:

Whisk all ingredients in large bowl (except oil), prepare oil in deep fry pan and place the mold (rossete iron) in the oil.  Once the rossete iron is hot enough, dip it into the mixture (it will stick on the hot mold). Dip it just below the top of the mold, do not submerse.
Put it back in the oil and sway the mold to release the batter, if it won't separate from its mold, that means u need to reduce the heat. Deep fry until light golden color. Place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
