Kutsinta is one of the most popular Filipino desserts or meryenda!
Its a steamed rice cakes made with flour, tapioca flour, and brown sugar. Soft, chewy and topped with grated coconut, cheese or yema spread.
I've been into many trials and errors cooking this dish.
You should come up with a soft chewy texture. Mine just soft . Ha ha!
Then finally as I browse though google I found a recipe at kawalingpinoy.com and now I perfected it.
Ingredients are:
*1 1/2 cups flour
*1/2 cup tapioca flour
*1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
