KLEPON - traditional Indonesian Sweet Snack


 Klepon is a traditional Indonesian sweet snack made from glutinous rice flour filled with palm sugar and coated in grated coconut. Here's a recipe to make Kelepon:

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

  • 100g palm sugar (gula Jawa), cut into small cubes

For the Dough:

  • 200g glutinous rice flour
  • 100ml warm water
  • 1 pandan leaf, tied into a knot (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For Coating:

  • 100g grated coconut
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Filling:

    • Take each cube of palm sugar and roll it into small balls, about 1 cm in diameter. Set aside.

  2. Make the Dough:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the glutinous rice flour and salt.
    • Gradually add warm water to the flour mixture while stirring with a spoon or spatula. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water; if it's too wet, add a bit more glutinous rice flour.
    • Divide the dough into small portions, about 1 tablespoon each.

  3. Assemble the Kelepon:

    • Take one portion of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a ball of palm sugar in the center of the flattened dough.
    • Carefully wrap the dough around the palm sugar, ensuring it's completely covered. Roll it into a smooth ball between your palms. Repeat this process with the remaining dough and palm sugar balls.

  4. Cook the Kelepon:

    • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Drop the Kelepon into the boiling water, a few at a time, and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Once the Kelepon float, remove them from the water using a slotted spoon and drain them briefly.

  5. Coat the Kelepon:

    • In a shallow bowl, mix the grated coconut with a pinch of salt.
    • Roll the cooked Kelepon in the grated coconut until they are evenly coated.

  6. Serve:

    • Arrange the Kelepon on a serving plate and serve them warm or at room temperature.

Enjoy your delicious homemade Kelepon as a sweet treat or snack! They're best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day.
