Khanom phing (Thai: ขนมผิง, pronounced [kʰā.nǒm pʰǐŋ]) is a round Thai cookie consisting of tapioca flour, coconut milk, and egg yolk.[1][2]
History[edit]
Khanom phing is believed to have been introduced to Thailand by the Portuguese in the 17th century.[1]
Evolution[edit]
The original Khamon phing had a sweet taste, fragrant, brown color, and immediately melted in the mouth. It was different from today, as now the cookie has more colors such as pink, green, and yellow. In addition, the dessert is made harder than the original, due to needing protection from breaking when packed for sale. The original Khanom phing was packed in a small jar and adorned with ribbons to be given as a gift on New Year's Day.
