Mixing the batter
Prepare a bowl containing 500ml of filtered water and use the bowl with 500ml of pandan leaf juice from earlier to mix the batter.
Add 100g of rice flour to the pandan bowl and stir well until the flour is completely dissolved.
For the bowl of filtered water, also add 100g of rice flour and stir similarly. Finally, we have 2 mixtures of white and green batter.
Place a pan on the stove, set it to low heat, and add the white batter to the pan.
Tip: Remember to sift the flour through a sieve before putting it on the stove to stir to smooth the batter!Stir continuously while cooking. Until the batter thickens into a mass, transfer it back to the bowl.
Do the same with the green batter. Finally, let both bowls of batter rest for about 15 minutes.
When the batter has cooled down a bit, start mixing it with tapioca flour. Add a little tapioca flour to the batter bowl, while gradually adding it in, stir to mix evenly.
Proceed slowly until all 200g of tapioca flour is used, the batter will become a homogeneous mixture as in the picture.
Continue to add 200g of tapioca flour into the remaining batter bowl and mix evenly in a similar manner.
