If you can't find candle nuts, substitute with macadamia nuts for a similar texture and flavor.
Ensure the batter is runny; a thick batter will not yield crispy crackers.
Use medium heat to prevent the crackers from burning while ensuring they cook evenly.
Can I use other nuts instead of peanuts?
Yes, you can use cashews or almonds as a substitute, but the flavor will differ slightly.
Why is my batter not crispy?
Ensure the batter is runny and not thick. Also, fry at medium heat to achieve crispiness.
How long can I store Rempeyek?
You can store Rempeyek in a sealed container for up to 1 week to maintain its crispiness.
Can I skip the lime leaves?
Lime leaves add a unique aroma, but you can skip them if unavailable. The crackers will still be flavorful.
What oil is best for frying?
Use a neutral oil like vegetable or canola oil for frying to avoid overpowering the flavors.
