Kueh Lapis Legit - worth every buttery layer!
save some $$ and make this yourself at home! it's worth it.
we’re pretty sure most of you have tried this traditional kueh at least once! Kueh Lapis Legit (pronounced LUR-GITT, and not legit like in ‘legitimate’) or more popularly know in SG as Kek (cake) Lapis (to distinguish it from the steamed layer cake) is commonly served to guests during Hari Raya, alongside a variety of classic cookies.
due to its high butter content, the amount of eggs used to make it and the time it takes to bake each batch, kueh lapis can fetch up to a very high price in shops and bakeries. the solution? set some time aside to make it yourself!
the quality of the ingredients really comes through in this Kueh Lapis recipe. hence, we recommend using a good quality butter for the best flavour. additionally, the leftover egg whites as a by-product of making this can be stored to make snackable meringues.
to all celebrating in this festive season, we humbly wish all of you SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI!
