Sapin-Sapin
This was originated from Abra. Just wondering if the word "sapin" that means "a covering" was the origin.
Ingredients: 2 c rice flour, 2-1/2 c sugar (white),
5 c coconut milk (thick), 1 c boiled ube (yam), mashed
* food color (optional), toasted (grated
coconut) as desired, latik (residue from coconut oil extraction)
Procedure:
- Combine rice flour, sugar and coconut
milk.
- Divide into three portions.
- To one portion, add the ube.
- Pour into banana leaf-lined steamer
and steam until firm (this is the first layer).
- To another portion, add red food color
and pour over the steamed first layer. Steam until the second layer is firm
again.
- Pour the third portion on top of the
red layer and steam until done.
- Cool, slice and serve with roasted
grated coconut and latik.
