I had the same problem before I bought a scale. It is very difficult to convert the measurement into spoon and cup.

The continuous action baking powder should act like the double action baking powder. I dont think the brand of coconut milk makes any difference. The texture should not be as smooth as the 'kuih' in your photograph. The only reason I can think off is the baking powder you have is not fresh anymore, i.e. it's not working as it should. Try using a new batch. Hi Christine, I’m not sure what went with yours. The continuous action baking powder should act like the double action baking powder.

I used the same package of rice flour as you did, but I used the Rooster brand coconut milk Ideal For Baking line. Would it make a difference? I also used continuous action baking powder. I think it is the same as double action? or not? Instead, it turned out to be exactly like this texture.... http://www.moe.gov.sg/edumall/tl/digital_resources/ml/images/puteri_salat.jpg and not like yours! Please help! thanks! Hi Suanne,

You'll get two leavening actions from it, i.e. once when liquid is added to it and second when it's heated. It's different from regular baking powder and not just double the amount. Hi Dawn,
