Kuih Tiram @ Kuih Lidah

This was my whole day project yesterday - quite time consuming to roll, slice & fry the dough. My left thumb was hurt so my second son Rusydi helped me to roll the dough through the machine, Fatma did the frying part whilst Radhi babysitted Liana. I was smiling to myself because the boys rarely helped in the kitchen but under emergency situation, they turned up unexpectedly competent.

We made very cute size, see below photo comparing it to a size of a spoon:
