Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup tapioca flour
- 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon atsuete powder
- 1 tablespoon lye water
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour, tapioca flour, sugar, and water. Stir well until dissolved and mixture is smooth.
- Add atsuete and stir until well dispersed and the desired color is achieved.
- Add lye water and stir.
- Fill molds to about ¾ full.
- Add water to the steamer and bring to simmer over medium heat.
- Steam kutsinta for about 40 to 45 minutes or until mixture is set. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Gently remove from molds and top with grated coconut.
Notes
- The atsuete is primarily added to deepen the color and you can use more or less depending on the brown sugar you use.
- If using tin molds, you might need to grease the insides to make removing the steamed cakes easy.
- Steam in a gentle simmer to prevent the kutsinta from sinking in the middle.
- These are mini-sized cuchinta; recipe yield depends on the size of molds you use.
- Stir the mixture between pouring into the molds as the flour settles in the bottom.
- Nutritional info is calculated at two pieces per serving.
