Toddy Palm Pie (พายลูกตาล)
I have always loved toddy palm seeds. I love the sweetness, the gorgeous crystal clear color, smooth yet juicy texture, which give cakes, pies, cold iced drink, ice cream a wonderful refreshing taste. They are a delicious ingredient I never run out of my kitchen pantry.
Today I am sharing with you my toddy palm pie recipe. The is nothing not to like about this toddy palm pie: buttery, sweet, refreshing, crispy outside and soft juicy inside. I made this pie with frozen pie sheet so this is probably too easy to called a "recipe". Also, this pie is not like toddy palm pie from a famous bakery, yet considering how quick and easy to make, it's such a rewarding dessert when fresh baked pie comes out of the oven.
If you haven't try making easy pastries before, please give this recipe a try. Happy baking everyone.

ReplyDeleteThey're seeds of palm, found in tropical countries. Jelly-like, sweet and very juicy, you can get canned Toddy Palm seeds in most Asian supermarket.
Oh my god, if there is someone out there who can export these frozen... The canned syrup contained toddy seeds do not do justice to the fruit by even a long shot...
