Biskut Makmor - Part 1

The first step in making biskut makmor is the crushed peanut as it's filling.
In a skillet roast peanut without oil. Keep stirring so the peanut did not burn.
Turn off the heat once the skin is removable.
Pour peanuts onto baking sheet. Use paper towel and rub the skin off.
Remove the skin from the peanuts.
This is my cute little mortar and pestle I use to crush the peanuts.
To expediate the process, I use this food processor to crush the peanuts.
Coarsely crush the peanuts.
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
Store this in a container until the next time when I am ready to make the makmor cookies.

  2. Hi Zuraidah

    Can't wait for the next instalment....have not makan kuih makmur for 15 years....no kidding.

    When you have time, check out 'Almond Cresents' on my blog...very similar to this kuih....I think you will like it. Apologies if I am too 'forward' here.

  5. Hi Zue

    Yes you can store the almond cookies for a long time....I know cos once I 'hid' them (my kids were eating too many) and forgot about (god getting even with me) and they were still okay after 2-3 weeks!

  6. Gertrude,you can use any type of peanuts as long as it is unsalted peanuts.I find this red skin peanuts taste the best.

    Vg, thanks for the info.

  7. I couldn't help reading the comments on using skinless peanuts. I buy the ones with skin and go through this tedious process because my kids enjoy blowing the skin off! Lol...talk abt cheap thrills!
