Kue Ruwok

This is a dessert from Koto Gadang, West Sumatra. One of my best friends' have shared the recipe to me but I modified it a bit to suit my taste. It is basically egg custard with meringue. Super yummy!

Ingredients for Custard:

6 egg yolks

2 whole eggs

500mL milk

1/2 cup sugar

2 tbs all purpose flour

1 tsp vanilla

Pinch salt

 

Ingredients for Meringue:

6 egg whites

2 tbs sugar

1 tsp cream of tartar

Raisins

Preparation:

1. With an electric mixer, beat all custard ingredients. Pour in a rectangular dish. Place dish in a water bath (upto 1/2 the height of the dish) and bake at 175C for 40 minutes. Insert a toothpick and it should come out clean when it is done. Custard may be a bit wobbly but as long as the toothpick is clean, it is set. 

2. Beat all ingredients for meringue except raisins until stiff. Pour evenly onto baked custard and put the raisins on top. Continue to bake at 200C for about 5 minutes or until the top is brown.
