Kutsinta Without Lye Water


It's been a long time since I am longing to make kutsinta but the thing that is preventing me from making this is the lye water, because it is not available in my place. Today, I am very happy that there is an option for lye water and that is the REDUCED BAKING SODA, to learn how to make it click the link below:
http://melyskitchen.blogspot.com.br/2013/04/how-to-make-reduced-baking-soda.html

 Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup  sugar
1 tsp annatto powder ( atsuete)
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp reduced baking soda  ( make sure it is REDUCED baking soda ) do not put too much or it will have an after taste effect- bitter.
Procedure:
1. Sift all the dry ingredients then combine everything and pour into molders and steam for 30 minutes or until done.

2. Remove from steamer then allow few minutes to cool before removing from the molders then serve with or without grated coconut.

 To save time, prepare the steamer while you are preparing the kutsinta mixture, so that the water is already boiling after the preparation and you can steam right away.

    I order Kuchinta from the City of San Francisco, USA (from a Pinoy bakeshop)whenever someones makes a trip. Recently, my daughters did - so yummy!! And, huhu! - they've been gone fast! I hope this can compensate my weekly cravings. Love this for breakfast or snack & especially with fresh niyog (coconut meat)! Tks, Mely! :D

    Yes it is very possible, it can lat for 6 months in an air tight container. Make sure it is well covered or else it will not serve its purpose.

    hi..pwd po ba glutinious rice flour ggamitin instead of rice flour?

  15. melyJuly 8, 2014 at 7:27 PM

    @ Aizza dahil di pa sya luto sa oras na yon.

    @ anonymous hindi ko pa nasubukan using glutinous rice for kutsinta pasensya na kung di ko masagot ng oo o hindi, wala pa rin akong narinig na kutsinta gawa sa malagkit, maaring mahirap ito lutuin.
