Corn Hoon Kueh & Brownies

A colleague took a lift from me yesterday and just before she alighted at Bedok MRT, she said "Make a cake tonite and bring tomorrow, k". The amazing thing was, I was actually thinking of whipping up something .. call that Telepathy .. ehehe

I had thought of making somthing for each of my 2 female colleagues. Corn hoon kueh for Kak Su coz we ever talked abt this and Basic Brownies for Kak Bi coz she's a choc lover.

This Corn Hoon Kueh recipe is from my sister's home econ book .. hehe

Ingredients

1/2 cup hoon kueh flour (green pea flour)
2 1/2 cup thin cocunut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 pandan leaf

Method

Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan.
Cook over a slow flame stirring all the time until the mixture thickens.
Turn off flame and put mixture into little plastic containers.
