Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pack of tempe, sliced thinly
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 cup of warm water
- 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup of condensed milk
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
Special equipment needed:
- Rolling pin
- Non-stick pan
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
2. Gradually add the warm water and vegetable oil to the flour mixture. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin circles.
4. Place a layer of sliced tempe on top of each rolled-out dough circle.
5. Stack the dough circles on top of each other, with the tempe layer in between each one.
6. Use a rolling pin to flatten the stacked dough circles until they become one large, thin circle.
7. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the flattened dough circle until it becomes golden brown on both sides.
8. In a separate saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, condensed milk, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes thick and caramelized.
9. Pour the caramel sauce over the cooked roti lapis tempe.
10. Cut the roti lapis tempe into small squares and serve.
