Two Easy Recipes To Make Cekodok Pisang

The first easy cekodok recipe I got off this SAYS story. It was ok. The second easy cekodok recipe is my mum’s recipe. It is the best.

Which one shall we start with?

Easy Cekodok Recipe #1

Sorry Tammy I copy paste your story love u, u the best, thank u for sharing this recipe but my mama’s is better.

Ingredients:

– 135g plain flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 teaspoon caster sugar
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 egg
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 300g ripe bananas

Instructions:

• Mix everything in a bowl
• Fry little balls in hot oil
• Eat

Tammy wrote much better instructions but I didn’t want to plagiarise her 100% so I only plagiarise like 50%. That’s the ingredients bit. I can’t change the ingredients of a recipe. Ya.

End product was nice but had a weird aftertaste

And they didn’t come out cute and round.

But I must confess while I was mixing the batter, with each child arguing over whose turn it is to mash/stir/add and a clingy koala baby between my legs, I ended up putting in cream of tartar instead of baking powder. Hahaha.

That’s probably why it had a weird aftertaste. That and the egg! Who puts eggs in cekodok.

Oh yeah, and I didn’t really measure all the ingredients properly. I don’t have a kitchen scale. Who knows how much 300g of bananas are. Cekodok is for leftover bananas!

Look at this weird bird shaped one

Conclusion: not sweet enough, funny shaped, weird aftertaste.

Easy Cekodok Recipe #2

My Mama’s recipe that she taught me when I was like 6 years old. It’s yummy and much more simple than the first recipe.

Ingredients:

• Over ripe bananas
• White sugar
• Flour
• Baking powder
• Salt

Instructions:

• Mash all the bananas
• Add flour until you get nice consistency
• Add sugar according to the type of banana you mashed (like tiny bananas are super sweet already, but the big bananas are less sweet so add more sugar)
• Add a liddle bit of baking powder
• Add a pinch of salt
• Goreng
• Makan

Your batter should be this consistency. Thick enough to by scooped in a spoon, but runny enough to not be held together like dough.

And the end product is yummy balls of fried banana goodness!

This time they came out as ball shaped on their own. So happy. They just plop down in the pan then plop up as balls. I should have taken a picture sorry I forgot.

Cekodok!

I like them crispy cronchy on the outside and gooey and soft in the middle

I know some cekodok is more like fried banana bread/cake balls. That’s nice too. But my mama always made them gooey. So that’s how I like them.

OK that’s all for this edition of #MCOcooking. Bye!
