Рецепт How To Make Kuih Pie Tee/Top Hat Shells
This is Nyonya Kuih Pie Tee or also known as Top Hats. It's an appetizer made with a savory, crispy thin fried shell, filled with stir-fry yam bean (jicama) and carrot.
In this video, I'll show you how make the shell with and without the brim. You'll also need a special Pie Tee mold, and If you can't get hold of it, then try the Scandinavian Rosette & Timbale mold. The latter mold is different, but it does serve the same purpose.
