Nearly at the end of baking I brushed over some oil on them. My son tells me they taste great baked. I sadly can't taste them as I have gluten intolerance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05134505601680683868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-51774635410126924612013-12-20T15:19:27.555+08:002013-12-20T15:19:27.555+08:00what amazing pict of karipap. actually i made this...what amazing pict of karipap. actually i made this karipap pusing 3 days ago,but i think we have different way in point no 5, i didn't roll it horizontally, i rolled vertically just like the first one. i don't know if that can make difference.

I know frying them will definitely taste better but will have some health-conscious friends coming over you see. ;)Joyce Lowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056764360682918098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-71302110042616292772013-06-21T21:17:36.746+08:002013-06-21T21:17:36.746+08:00Thanks for your reply, Denise.

The spirals just fell apart...I will have to gather up courage and more energy to try this spiral puff again, using your above tips. <br /><br />It's winter here, and wonder if the colder temp had anything to do with the dryness of the dough? I did put everything into the food pro to whizz up, hoping it would come together as a dough. Another mistake? Thanks again anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013662400659523217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-27252347491811714122013-06-13T13:32:41.936+08:002013-06-13T13:32:41.936+08:00Hi Sin Yee.

I doubt the microwaved dough is still usable but once its cool try working it together again with a little more butter kneaded in and keep <br />adding butter bit by bit till it comes together. You will probably have to make a new batch of oil dough. Its best you weigh out the flour and butter rather than use cup measurements as i suspect your flour and butter ratios may be off due to packing the flour down into the cup. Hence the dryness of the dough. I had no problem with the dough but its also possible youre using a higher protein flour like bread flour, by mistake or unknowingly. In any case just rub in extra butter in increments of half to one teaspoon until the dough gels. Hope this helps :)denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-81970625439222508352013-06-13T13:12:50.890+08:002013-06-13T13:12:50.890+08:00Hi Denise,

I used the cold butter and flour, but they are so dry they wouldn't stick together. I zapped it in the microwave to warm it up a bit, hoping to melt the butter a little so the dough would stick....Does that defeat the purpose of using cold butter? It's sitting in the fridge now. Fingers crossed!<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00013662400659523217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-56833132827827532632012-12-25T01:52:32.110+08:002012-12-25T01:52:32.110+08:00Hi yianling.

She only relented because I was fascinated by them but never used them herself. She's the resident expert at pinching and fluting pastry edges. She left them in the cupboard until they were cracked and splintered from the tropical heat and humidity. Thanks for your lovely comment. You should try making these - something tells me you're no stranger to the fine art of pastry work...denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-4315201411445846052012-10-17T10:31:44.729+08:002012-10-17T10:31:44.729+08:00Thanks Dora!

Karipap is really SO sedap. Tak boleh tahan! As for baking these, sadly it doesnt work well. The pastry doesnt really crisp or flake into layers for that matter. Frying really is the way to go, for these.denise fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307457105004478777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-57671148470546462782012-10-17T10:28:44.689+08:002012-10-17T10:28:44.689+08:00Hi Biren - we SHOULD do this together.
