Notes
Please watch my tutorial video to follow along.
In the video, you'll see that when my mom came to check initially, she suggested pouring less topping to avoid overflowing the molds. She also shared another technique, mentioning that watching for small bubbles indicates when it's cooked perfectly.
During her second visit, I asked my mom if she found it tasty, and she simply nodded and smiled.
When my dad came to inspect, I offered him a piece of Khanom Krok and jokingly said it's 20 baht. He jokingly replied that he'd need more pieces for that price. I explained that this batch was special, requiring extra time and effort, and we shared a laugh.
My grandma used to make and sell these at the weekend morning market when my dad was a child. For him, this treat holds nostalgic memories of his childhood.
Enjoy!
