1. 1
   Prepare the coconut milk: if using canned coconut milk, pour into a bowl and dilute with an equal amount of water.
   ▶ ≈1:42
2. 2
   Measure and combine the dry ingredients: weigh 250g rice flour and 50g plain flour. Sift both flours together to ensure a fine, smooth mixture.
   ▶ ≈2:08
3. 3
   Beat the eggs and combine wet ingredients: crack 2 eggs (size A or B) and lightly whisk. Add the beaten eggs to the sifted flour, then incorporate 150g sugar and 0.5 tsp salt.
   ▶ ≈2:32
4. 4
   Add liquids and adjust consistency: pour in 200ml of diluted coconut milk, then gradually add approximately 200ml water while stirring. The batter should reach a pourable consistency similar to thin crêpe batter.
   ▶ ≈3:02
5. 5
   Rest and strain: allow the batter to rest for about 30 minutes. Then strain through a fine sieve to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth, uniform mixture.
   ▶ ≈4:08
6. 6
   Prepare the frying setup: use two separate pots—a small one with high heat to preheat the flower-shaped mould, and a larger one with medium oil temperature (approximately 170-180°C) for frying. Test the oil temperature with a wooden chopstick: the mould should not stick when dipped into the oil.
   ▶ ≈4:38
7. 7
   Dip and fry: dip the hot mould into the batter partially (do not fully submerge). Immediately place into the larger pot of hot oil. Bubbles rising on the surface indicate the oil temperature is adequate.
   ▶ ≈5:20
8. 8
   Turn and remove: gently shake the mould to release the cake, allowing it to float in the oil for about 10 seconds. Then flip to ensure even browning on both sides until golden. Remove and drain the oil well.
   ▶ ≈5:46
9. 9
   Cool and garnish (optional): place the fried cakes on paper towels to drain. Once fully cooled, you may add black or white sesame seeds to the batter for enhanced flavour and appearance.
   ▶ ≈6:34
10. 10
    Store: ensure all cakes are completely cooled before placing in a clean, airtight container. You may add food-grade silica gel packets to maintain crispness. Store in a cool, dry place.
