4. Knead well. Make sure it is really soft. Leave it outside for 4 hours. Put wet white cloth over top.

Tips:
When the dough is ready, you will see bubbles on it. Make sure you don’t leave the dough outside too long because it will be sour after you cook. Add 1 and 1/2 tbsp. baking powder to safe time and make it fluffy, with this amount you can make 130 small cups of sugar palm cake.
Have fun!
