Kuih Sarang Semut : Thank God it turned out good.

Very rarely, mistakes make better outcome. But hey, this sarang semut made it to the rare list. Omputih panggil honeycomb caramel cake. The mistakes : accidently put extra butter and extra condensed milk in the batter. The outcome: extra moist and extra ‘sarang’ texture, and fairly sweet. Thank God.   The simple formula A= 1 cup sugar + 1 cup hot water + 100g butter Heat a cup of sugar until caramelised. Then add a cup of hot water. Be careful. It caused “firecrackers” in the pan. Keep stirring until it dissolves to be a caramel syrup. Put aside for a while. B= 4 eggs + half tin of condensed milk + a cup of wheat flour + 2 teaspoons of baking soda + 1 spoon of vanilla essence. Break the eggs in a bowl. Stir. Add condensed milk. Stir. Add flour. Stir. Add baking soda and vanilla essence. Stir.   Then pour A into B. Stir the mixture. Leave the batter for an hour. I did this on a traditional stove with fire. Steam it for a 45 minutes up to an hour, medium heat. Che
