Kaya Puffs

Today, I decided to make a delicacy from my country, kaya puffs.  This was my first attempt making this scrumptious pastry.  It is semi circle pastry centered with caramelized coconut custard.

One bite, the soft and crusty pie-like pastry crumbles and melts in your mouth before the sweet and nutty flavor of the custard permeates the taste buds.  Well, at least this is how it was supposed to be like.

I set out to make this wonderful pastry full of confidence.  I have the recipe in hand and all the ingredients ready....it shouldn't be that hard.  So, I knead and roll the dough to my desired shape and then came the wrapping.  From the picture in the recipe book, the edges of the pastry was pinched into a pattern.  Now, since it was my first time....I didn't get that same look when I pinched and folded the edges.

Ahh....it actually look hideous.  But I baked them anyway.  To my surprise, it turn out better than I expected.  So, I will be sharing this with some friends tomorrow. ;p
