Knead the glutinous rice flour, pandan extract, and warm water into a soft dough.
Prepare the brown sugar in small shards and mix the grated coconut with salt.
Pinch off pieces smaller than walnuts, place brown sugar inside, and close.
Boil the klepon in water for 8 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
Coat the drained hot klepon in grated coconut.
Rest the klepon for 10 minutes and serve while the sugar center is still runny.
💡 Tip: If using brown sugar instead of palm sugar, do not use large pieces; small shards melt faster inside the dough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve klepon at room temperature, with unsweetened Turkish tea to balance the sweetness.
