Homemade String Hopper Sweet Rolls

1. 1

   To make the coconut mixture, in a thick-bottomed pan, put coconut pani, cinnamon and sugar and bring to boil (you need it to be around 100C degrees so use a thermometer).Then add the pani mixture to the dessicated coconut and mix well. Let cool.

2. 2

   In a steamer, steam plain flour for about 30 minutes. When cool, break up the flour and sift twice. Steam flour is also available in food shops and supermarkets.

3. 3

   Put the steam flour and salt into a bowl and slowly add the water. Mix quickly into a pliable dough.

4. 4

   Put a little of the dough into a string hopper mold and squeeze the mixture in a circular fashion onto a 7x7 piece of paper greased with butter or oil. It will look like a disk about 5 inches in diameter. Continue with the rest of the dough.

5. 5

   Now place the sweet coconut mixture in the middle of each disk and roll each up loosely. Transfer to a string hopper mat.

6. 6

   Place 2 mats in a steamer and steam over a pan of boiling water for about 5 minutes. When the string hopper sweet rolls are cooked, remove from the mats and place on a dish.

7. 7

   Serve hot or cool.
