Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups glutinous rice flour
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup water
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup water (for glaze)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add 3/4 cup of water to the dry ingredients while mixing, until a soft, pliable dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.
Divide the dough into small equal portions (approximately 1 tablespoon each). Roll each portion into a thin log about 6 inches long.
Shape each log into a twist by folding it in half and gently twisting the two ends together. Set the twisted dough pieces on a tray lined with parchment paper.
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat 2 cups of vegetable oil over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the twisted dough in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fried twists from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Let cool slightly.
To make the glaze, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens into a syrup (around 8-10 minutes).
Reduce the heat to low and add the fried twists into the glaze, tossing to coat them evenly in the syrup.
Once the twists are fully coated, remove them from the glaze using tongs or a slotted spoon. Place them on a wire rack to let the glaze set.
Serve the Pilipit glazed rice flour twists at room temperature as a sweet, crunchy treat!
