Kue pancong is an Indonesian kue or traditional snack made of a rice flour and coconut-based batter and cooked in a special mold pan. It is a commonly found snack in Indonesian traditional markets. The mold pan is similar to a muffin tin but has rectangular basins instead of rounded. It consists of a row of rectangular basins of small tubs with rounded half-moon bottoms, to create half-moon or boat-shaped hot cakes. A pancong mold is quite similar to a waffle mold. The special grill-like metal mold used in making kue pancong is also used in other Indonesian traditional kue, including kue pukis and kue rangi, and so the shape is quite similar to those cakes. Kue pancong is often regarded as the coconut version of wheat-based kue pukis.
Name
The term kue pancong is usually associated with the Betawi cuisine of Jakarta.[1] The same snack (with some variation) is also referred to as kue pancung in parts of central Sumatra,[2] gunjing in South Sumatra,[3] bandros in Sundanese-speaking area,[4] gandos in Javanese-speaking area,[5] and buroncong in Makassar.[6]
Ingredients and cooking method
The batter is made from the mixture of rice flour, grated ripe coconut, granulated crystal sugar, salt, coconut milk, pandan leaves (optional for aroma), water, vegetable oil or margarine to grease the mold pan.[4] Granules of crystal sugar were sprinkled as the topping.
