Corn custard (Kuih Jagung)

My first trial making Kuih Jagung. *Yummy* as exclaimed by hubby and my neighbour. Too bad my kids are too young to eat this.

Kuih Jagung has been my all time favourite when I was little.  I love love it a lot, especially when it is cold (kept in fridge). Hence after searching for high and low for the recipe online, I tried it for the first time, and result, voila, taste is really good, except that it was a little bit dry (probably cooked too long on the fire). I had to keep stiring so quickly and even almost spilled on one of my beautiful kitchen rugs. Will surely try out the double boil method next round :)

See my modified recipe and cooking method to suit my own conveninence

Mixture A

  • 200g custard powder (Bird’s brand)
  • 200g castor sugar
  • 16 oz coconut milk (diluted)
  • a pinch of salt
  • one can corn syrup 425g

My shortcut method

  1. Mix all A ingredients evenly and put on fire to boil lightly. Lower fire
  2. Add in corn syrup and keep on stiring on low fire until thicken
  3. Pour on to lightly oiled pan and steam for 15 mins

Tips

  • If cook directly on fire, must keep stiring and fire very low to prevent lumps
  • Can also use double boil method (just like how we melt chocolate)

    Hey thanks for the recipe! Hmm I don’t remember the steaming part. I remember just stir until it is “cooked” then we pour it to a pan and left it cool.

    Btw, even QQ is too young for eating this?? How old can a child eat corn?
