  1. Mix both flours, the baking powder and the salt in a large bowl.
  2. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the coconut milk, pandan extract and oil to the egg mixture, then gradually whisk in the flour mixture.
  4. Lightly oil small diamond-shaped molds or ramekins, then pour in the batter to three-quarters full.
  5. Place the molds in a covered steamer and steam over high heat for 20 to 25 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes before unmolding. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you like.

Variations and tips

Ginger version. Add a spoonful of fresh ginger juice to the batter for a more spicy flavor.
