What to get ready

  • Photograph of Flour Flour 1.9 lb
  • Photograph of Palm sugar Palm sugar 12.7 oz
  • Photograph of Pork fat Pork fat 9.9 oz
  • Photograph of Cinnamon powder Cinnamon powder 0.7 oz
  • Photograph of Baking soda Baking soda 0.6 oz

Method

  1. 1 Simmer palm sugar with 60 ml of water and cinnamon for 8 minutes until it thickens into a syrup, then let it cool completely.
  2. 2 Beat the pork fat for 5 minutes until fluffy, then gradually mix in the cooled syrup.
  3. 3 The syrup must be cool; hot syrup will melt the fat and the cake will lose its fluffiness.
  4. 4 Sift the flour with baking soda and salt, then knead gently for 4 minutes and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. 5 Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1 cm, then cut it out using a pig-shaped cutter.
  6. 6 Brush with egg wash and bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown and glossy.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 55 min

    Change the baking method in step 6: spray marranito over the egg and milk mixture, run the oven at 195 degrees for 10 minutes and flip at minute 5; the cake browns quickly so divide into layers.
