Pandan Apom

Adapted recipe from 'Steamed Cake & Kuih Muih' by Mrs Ho and Karen Tan. I used half of the recipe and replaced pandan juice with water. After proving I divided the batter into two portions. One portion I added Yam paste while the other I add Pandan paste. It yield about 8 kuehs. This kueh is best eaten while it hot, it rather hard and dry when cold.
