Kuih Loyang is often served during Chinese New Year and the taste is reminiscent of Kuih Kapit which I hope to make one day. Apparently one can freeze rosettes and reheat them at a later time. I read that in the old days, people use lard to fry their rosettes. Once fried, they get a dusting of powdered (or icing) sugar. Rosette, on the other hand uses eggs, sugar, milk, and all-purpose flour. Rice flour alone gives it a super crispy texture. Perhaps, that is to give it a stiffer batter but I don’t think it is necessary. Set baking soda to the side so it is ready to add later. Sometimes, a few tablespoons of all-purpose flour is added. In a heavy duty medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Call it whatever you prefer, the versions in Southeast Asia use basically the same ingredients – eggs, sugar, coconut milk, and rice flour. Hence, the name Honeycomb Cookie and Beehive Cookie.

I believe the Indonesians call it Kuih Goyang because one has to shake the mold to release the batter. I guess people call it that for lack of a better name. So, it is actually Brass Cake if translated literally. How then did Kuih Rose become Kuih Loyang? Well, loyang is brass in Malay and the mold is made of brass. The Malaysian Rosette ( Kuih Rose) was probably a Dutch influence. Rosettes are a thin, cookie-like deep-fried pastries of Scandinavian and Indian origin. A quick check on the internet confirmed it. I encountered Rosette Irons when I was living in Minnesota and the first thing that came to my mind was that they are similar except for the design. While I have always thought this pretty looking treat is Malaysian because of the name, I realized not so long ago that it is not the case. That said, I actually found it quite fun once I got started. I seldom do deep frying and this incredible tasty treat requires one to stand there and deep fry away. Although I inherited my mother-in-law’s brass mold, I have never used it until now. I recently shared a childhood dessert, Dried Rose Agar-agar I have not eaten in a long, long time.
