Putri salju

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Putri Salju is a popular Indonesian cookie that is typically served during Eid and Christmas. The name "Putri Salju" translates to "Snow Princess" in English, which is a reference to the cookie's white, snowy appearance due to its coating of powdered sugar.

Ingredients and Preparation[edit | edit source]

The main ingredients of Putri Salju include butter, flour, sugar, egg yolks, and cashew nuts. The cashew nuts are finely chopped and mixed into the dough, giving the cookies a unique texture and flavor. After the cookies are baked, they are rolled in powdered sugar while still warm, which melts slightly to form a sweet, white coating.

Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]

Putri Salju is a staple in many Indonesian households during festive seasons. It is often made in large quantities and shared with family, friends, and neighbors. The cookie's white color is symbolic of purity and joy, making it a fitting treat for celebrations.

Variations[edit | edit source]

While the traditional Putri Salju recipe uses cashew nuts, variations of the cookie may use other types of nuts such as almonds or walnuts. Some recipes also include vanilla or rose water for added flavor.
