Kuih Cincin

Ring-shaped Malay rice-flour sweets with palm sugars and a crisp fried coating.

About Kuih Cincin

Kuih cincin are ring-shaped Malay sweets with a sugary aroma and a crisp outer coating. This rice-flour rendition combines coconut palm sugar and brown sugar with a further measure of sugar.

The ring shape gives the small sweets their distinctive appearance. A separate rice-flour coating surrounds the denser sweet dough, creating a contrast between the outside and the centre.

They are suitable as a small snack, with coffee offered alongside. Their sweetness and crisp surface make them a distinctive part of the wider Malay kuih tradition.
