- 4 Pour the palm sugar-coconut milk mixture into the flour mixture
- 5 Stir well, then fold in the beaten eggs
- 6 Add the pandan water
- 7 Add the grated coconut and mix well
- 8 Prepare small molds or bowls lined with banana leaves
- 9 Pour the batter into the molds, filling them 3/4 full

💡 Tips
• The palm sugar must be completely dissolved and strained so there are no lumps
• Steam over high heat so the cake rises perfectly
• Ladu tastes best eaten the same day — fresh from the steamer
