Hummingbird cake


I finally tried this recipe after few months delaying it. hihi. The recipe is almost like my carrot cake but instead of using carrots, they replaced it with bananas. I do like it and I guess my father in law will love it too. Why I say that? because he will ask me to bake him carrot cake whenever I am around him. :)


I finally know the way to divide cakes properly without much effort. Use an ICE CREAM scoop azreena. duhhh.



Nothing fancy...just a simple cake for myself. In between layers, I put some cream cheese frosting. YUM!


It is good. So good. :)


this recipe was taken from all recipes website and below is the recipe.

Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie

Last week I decided to try this recipe with my friend. She stayed far from me and we both decided to try out this recipe together and discuss via online. (thanks to the technology nowadays, I feel that I connect with her as if she is with me 24/7)

Anyways..this cookie batter look so yummy isn't it? I added two different types of chocolate chip. One is semi sweet and another one is coffee chocolate chips. Instead of 2 cups of chocolate chip...I added 4 cups to this batter. 


abundance of chocolate chips. YUMMY!


I love the result but I will bake it a shorter period the next time around. 


It is so good. You can have it with  or without a glass of  milk. 


Mind you that you will get almost 60 pieces from this recipe. Depending on the size of you cookie. 



All ready to be eaten while surfing the net or watching tele. I love my soft cookie. Give it a try and let me know the outcome okay. Good Luck!

INGREDIENTS:
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups sugar ( you can cut down sugar to 1 cup )
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chocolate chips ( I added 3 to 4 cups. hihi)
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oven to 375°F.
Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Set aside.
Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping the bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla. Continue beating, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Reduce speed to low. Beat, gradually adding flour mixture, until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chunks.
Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets (tip: line the sheets with parchment, if you have some). Bake for 10 to 14 minutes or until light golden brown. (Do not overbake.) Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets.
(I think 10 minutes is just nice if you want a soft cookie). :) Give it a try.

Strawberry jam

Belah Strawberi..up to you nak belah kecil atau besar. Kalau kecil....buah akan hancur bersama gula bila dan masak. Kalau belah besar, you can still bite the fruits bila dah masak. 

Assalam all, maaf dah berhari hari tak update my blog. Busy baking, beraya, bermarketing dan berbagai. Raya open house tak habis habis and alhamdulillah murah lagi rezeki kita semua. Semoga tahun yang akan datang akan lebih meriah. 

Cerita pasal open house ni...tadi pergi ke supermarket and saw beautiful strawberries. Alang alang terus ambil...actually buah ni memang masam and I never really like eating it pun. After flipping through some recipe books, ternampak pula recipe buat jem buah. 

Straight away belah strawberi ni dan masak. 
It is very easy as A B C

Masukkan gula. Gula harus sama berat dengan berat buah. Masakkan dengan api sederhana. 
Bila gula dah mengelegak seperti gambar di atas, masukkan setengah sudu besar  butter untuk menghilangkan buah yang ada. Kecilkan api dan masak hingga gula menjadi pekat. Padamkan api dan letakkan jem di dalam bekas yang bersesuaian. 
Yummy Jam!!

Chocolate Chip

Yup..semalam memang flat...but towards the evening sempat jugak buat cookies ni. Just to try out the recipes. I love chocolate chip cookies...paling enak yang lembut texturenya. Tapi rata rata semua Malaysia sukakan biskut crunchy ala famos amos. Maybe because since childhood kita dah di expose with that type of cookies kot? Anyways...here are the recipes. Recipes from blog maribermaindidapur.


(my cookies didn't turn up to be like hers sebab cookie dough tak lama di sejukkan dalam peti ais. However I still love it but prefer with less sugar). 

Almost Famous Amos Cookies
115 gr butter, cold and cut into cubes
100 gr caster sugar
90 gr brown sugar (50 gram is enough)
1 egg
1/2 vanilla extract
100 gr oats, grind to a fine powder, sieved
125 gr plain flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
150 gr almond, coarsely chopped
150 gr milk chocolate chips
90 gr milk chocolate bar, finely grated

  1. cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. add in egg and vanilla, beat until well combined.
  3. add in flour, salt, oat powder, baking soda, and baking powder. mix until just combined. do not overmix as the cookies may become hard in texture.
  4. add the chocolate and nut mixture, mix until just combined.
  5. leave the dough in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
  6. preheat the oven to 180 degree C.
  7. lay a baking paper on the cookie sheet.
  8. take about 1/2 tsp each of the mixture and put on the cookie sheets. leave the dough ball stay high so that it will become crunchier.
  9. bake for about 10 minutes.
  10. return the remaining dough to the fridge while waiting for the batch to come out from the oven.
  11. cool on the cooling tray.
  12. store in airtight container.

Salad Mandarin


Sendiri punya creation...suka suka hati letak nama Salad Mandarin. hihi.. Okay....salad ni ada mandarin orange slices, avacado dan mixed green salad. 

Untuk Vinaigrette...saya letakkan 
2 sudu teh jus oren
1 sudu teh minyak zaitun
2 sudu teh dijon mustard
1/4 sudu teh  garam

(gaulkan semua dalam satu mangkuk dan drizzle kan pada salad)

Terasa enak sekali!

Ketam masak Teow Chu


Kisah ketam bersama Teow Chu...hihi.. My favourite...oopss...rasanya rata rata semua orang suka makan ketam. Kalau nak beli ketam...tunggu time bulan penuh....for sure ketam gemuk gemuk belaka. My housing area ni kalau nak beli ketam memang sedia ada. Price wise dari RM 18 ke RM 25 sekilo. 

Okay...back to the ketam. Bersihkan ketam potong saiz yang bersesuaian. As for the sos teow chu pula....tumbuk bawang merah, bawang putih, teow chu biasa dan teow chu pedas bersama dalam batu lesung. 

Dalam kuali berasingan, tuangkan minyak sedikit dan goreng ketam sehingga masak. Minyak tak perlu banyak....tapi untuk pastikan ketam masak, tutup periuk dengan tudung periuk. Wap panas akan menolong untuk masakkan ketam itu. Bila ketam dah masak, keluarkan .

Tumiskan bahan yang di tumbuk itu, tak perlu masukkan garam dah...tapi masukkan gula...secukup rasa. Kemudian masukkan ketam. Kacau dan hidangkan panas. Yum!

Homemade Apple Pie

Will update the cooking method asap.

Cerita Epal...not ala snow white. Ceritanya bermula bila fikir nak berbuka apa nanti. Nak beli apple pie sebenarnya senang je. Drive thru Mc D kan ade. Tapi kesian pulak epal yang dah lama di beli ni. Terus niat nak buat apple pie sendiri. Senang je buat fillingnya. Make sure apple yang di beli tu keras...such as granny smith, gala..dll. 


Ok..dah dapat epal dah? Buangkan kulit dan potong dadu. Depend on you nak besar mane potongannya. 
As .for the puff pastry...beli je di kedai. Murah pun murah. Only RM 5 je. 



Letakkan epal di dalam periuk bersama dengan gula halus. Gula tu depending on you nak banyak mane. 


Masak dengan api sederhana besar. Nampak tak buih buih tu? Buih tu datang dari epal...isi epal mengandungi udara. Pori pori udara kecil. So...jangan pulak risau kalau kalau gula tu akan hangus. Semasa epal di masak, masukkan secubit buah pala (nutmeg) dan 1 sudu kecil serbuk kayu manis. Buah pala tu make sure masukkannya sebab bau dan rasa lagi sedap. Masak sehingga epal rasa empuk...tapi kalau sesiapa yang sukakan isi yang keras...boleh saja. Up to you to decide. 



Ok...gambar epal pie dah siap lah pulak. Lupa nak snap time letakkan filling dalam puff pastry tu. Anyway...
sedia kan pastry dan letakkan filling yang telah di sejukkan. lipatkan pastry dan lekatkan bahagian tepi dengan kuning telur. Make sure sapukan kuning telur di bahagian atas pastry juga. Bakar hingga pastry kembang dan garing. Oven temp around 175 C...selama 20 ke 30 minit. 

Selamat mencuba!

Red Velvet sebagai Hantaran

Assalam and hi all,

Hari ni nak share with you pasal kek bertunang ni. Wanted to post it earlier tapi tak cukup masa. Either duduk di dapur or went out shopping tingkap ( window shopping ). haha.

Anyway...saje nak tunjuk how I did this cake.

First thing first, I did bunga untuk kek tu. This 4 roses ni took me around 1 hour to make and yang lamanya nak letak kat dawai dawai halus tu sebenarnya.


Lepas tu...buat kek and biarkan sejuk. Dah sejuk...Sapukan pipping gel sekeliling kek and now you are ready to cover it with fondant. Fondant kene uli lama lama ye sampai sebati sebab kalau tak fondant akan retak dan nampak kering semacam.

Finally...time to decorate...dah ni lah hasilnya. :)
Hope you like it!!!!

Suke tak?

Orange Souffle

Hi all and assalam,

Guess what I made yesterday....three things...Red Velvet Cake pop, Orange Souffle and Victoria Sandwich. I'm here to share with you my orange souffle recipe. Senang sahaja buatnya tapi kene pandai whip telur putih sampai naik. So here goes.


Orange Souffle - Taken from Group Recipes.com



1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed certainly the best for fresh flavor)
4 eggs separated (separate when cold, much easier to do when eggs are cold)
1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter to stabilize egg whites
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pure orange extract
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange rind
Well pre-heated oven at 425 with oven rack placed low in oven (not on the lowest, but not in the middle either)
1 UN-greased casserole dish 1-1/2 quarts size

How to make it

Note: you can bake this at two different oven temperatures...
If you want a soufflé that is evenly moist, then bake it at 325 for 50-60 minutes.
If you want a soufflé that has a thicker crust and a soft moist interior, then the quick baking method is for you: bake your soufflé at 425 for 25 minutes.

The above baking techniques work for all fruit soufflés that I post.
1. In a saucepan on top of stove on medium low heat, combine flour, sugar, salt and stir in orange juice a little at a time.
2.Cook stirring constantly until the entire mixture is smooth and thick.
3.Beat egg yolks under mixer until thick and yellow. Gently fold into cooked mixture and allow to cool on counter.
4.While that is cooling, add orange zest, pure extracts and stir.
5. Wash out your mixing bowl really well and beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add cream of tartar and mix it in.
6. Fold one half of the beaten egg whites into the cooled down cooked mixture to lighten up the 'batter', then add remaining egg whites and gently fold in.
7. Pour into un-greased casserole dish and put into preheated oven at your chosen temperature.
    Try not to peak as this can upset the soufflé from rising. Let it do its thing.
  


Once baked, bring to table at once and serve it up with a soft dollop of whipped cream - to go extra fancy, add a little of cointreau (orange flavored liquor to your homemade whipped cream as flavoring) and add a fresh spring of mint on the serving for that "Martha look".
    And as mentioned above in the description, you can do all the preparing, and throw your soufflé into the oven when you are sitting down to eat your dinner. By the time you have finished dinner and you are making coffee, your dessert will be ready to eat!

Buat souffle tak lah susah sangat tapi delicate sangat prosesnya  tapi sangat berbaloi sebab rasanya sungguh sedap sekali. Hardly kita dapat jumpa di luar sebab dessert ni sedap makan selepas keluar dari oven. Yum!!!....

Victoria Sandwich

Hi all...and As salam. Guess what I baked yesterday....victoria sandwich. Kek yang simple menggunakan bahan yang paling sedikit tapi susah nak dapatkan yang perfect. What I mean perfect is fluffy and moist. Anyways....I found this recipe and this is my third time trying out different recipes. Rasanya yang ini yang paling best. So here goes the recipe taken from UKTV.UK


Victoria Sandwich Sponge Cake

Ingredients
Cake
•    175 g unsalted butter
•    175 g caster sugar
•    3 eggs, beaten
•    175 g self-raising flour
Filling
•    3 tbsp strawberry jam
•    500 ml double cream

Method
1. Set the oven to 180C/gas 4. Lightly butter two sandwich tins, each with a diameter of 20cm.

2. Cream together the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, and then slowly add the beaten egg.

3. Fold in the sifted flour and spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tins. (Ayak tepung tinggi tinggi sikit supaya tepung itu di anginkan...sure kek jadi lagi gebu)

4. Bake for 20 minutes. Leave to cool and then remove from the tins. (Jangan buka langsung oven ..kalau tidak sure bahagian tengah kek mendap)

5. Whip the cream until thick and use it to fill the sponge with the jam.

6. Dust liberally with icing sugar to serve.


Gambar yang di ambil di atas tu only one layer. Kek ni kene buat dua layer dan harus di sandwichkan dengan cream and jem . Baru lah di namakan victoria sandwich. Hope you guys can give it a try.

Lemon Tart with Berry on top

Assalam..
Hari ni free sebab tak de order and decided to my sister and parents to come for dinner. Lauk pauk yang nak di masak ialah sambal sotong, ayam masak lemak cili padi, ikan masin goreng, sayur masak sos tiram , ayam goreng dan keropok.

As for the dessert...I am making lemon tart with berry on top. My mom pulak bawa durian and nangka and kueh koci. Basically ni dah macam hidangan buka puasa dah ni.

Ok here goes for the lemon tart berry on top recipe.


 Kesemua resepi di ambil dari Joy of baking.

Sweet Pastry Crust:
1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten


Read more: http://www.joyofbaking.com/LemonMeringueTart.html#ixzz2DFI2fyjE
1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
*1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
**1 large egg, lightly beaten
** Selalu gunakan telur gred A kecuali resepi tersebut menyatakan telur gred B or C.
*Kalau tak de unsalted butter, pakai sahaja butter or majerin tapi jangan letak 1/8tsp garam tu)



Sweet Pastry Crust:  In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour and salt.  Set aside.  Place the butter in your mixer and beat until softened.  Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten egg, beating just until incorporated.  Don't over mix or the butter will separate and lighten in color.  Add flour mixture all at once and mix just until it forms a ball.  Don't overwork or pastry will be hard when baked.  (for your info, kalau buat cookies pun macam ni..tak boleh gaul sangat..nanti kanji banyak keluar dan buatkan pastry ..cookie tu keras macam batu)

Flatten dough into disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.
(Make sure leperkan pasrty ni, lagi senang nak letak dapat pie dish nanti)

When the pastry is rolled to the desired size, lightly roll pastry around your rolling pin, dusting off any excess flour as you roll.  Unroll onto top of tart pan.  Never pull pastry or you will get shrinkage (shrinkage is caused by too much pulling of the pastry when placing it in the pan).  Gently lay in pan and with a small floured piece of pastry, lightly press pastry into bottom and up sides of pan.  Roll your rolling pin over top of pan to get rid of excess pastry.  With a thumb up movement, again press dough into pan.  Roll rolling pin over top again to get rid of any extra pastry.  Prick bottom of dough (this will prevent the dough from puffing up as it bakes).  Cover and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to chill the butter and to rest the gluten in the flour.

Lemon Curd:
3 large eggs
1/3 cup (80 ml) fresh lemon juice (2-3 lemons) (do not use the bottled lemon juice)
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar
4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature and cut into small pieces
1 tablespoon (4 grams) lemon zest (saya tak add pun ni)

For Lemon Curd: While the crust is baking make the Lemon Curd.  In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended.  Cook, whisking constantly (to prevent it from curdling), until the mixture becomes pale in color and quite thick (like a hollandaise sauce or sour cream)( hollandaise sauce ni selalunya orang buat untuk pekatkan kuah / sup ) (160 degrees F or 71 degrees C on a thermometer).  This will take about 10 minutes.  Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps.  Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted.  Add the lemon zest.  Immediately pour the lemon curd into the baked crust and smooth the top.
(Ok..kalau you all tak de thermometer..mmg kene praktis buat curd ni...tapi lepas je dapat buat curd ni...sebenarnya tak perlu pun pakai thermometer. :) )

Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).  Bake the tart for about 10 minutes or until the lemon curd is firm but still a little wobbly in the center.  Do not let it brown or burn.

Ok...bila dah keluar....saya pun letakkan pie filling kat atas tart. Ni main tipu sikit sebab cherry mahal nak beli..so beli je terus pie filling yang dah siap di tinkan. I use brand Saporito.
So....kesudahannya jadi lah ni..

Selamat mencuba
Let me know if you need help ok.

Sweet Pastry Crust:
1 1/2 cups (210 grams) all purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated white sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten

My First Buttercream Engagement Cake

This is the first time I have to make a Buttercream Cake for Hantaran. Just to share with you some of the preparations that I had to make in advance. First of all is my gumpaste to make the flowers. Thank you to baking project for the gumpaste recipe. Try it and you will find it easy and cheap way to make gumpaste.

Gumpaste ( suitable for flowers / figurine)
Ingredients
500 g icing sugar
1 tablespoon gum tragacanth
1 1/2 tablespoon cold water
2 teaspoon powdered gelatine
2 teaspoon liquid glucose
1 tablespoon shortening
1 egg white
Method :
Mix the icing sugar with the gum trag, and sieve. Put in a heavy duty mixer bowl.
Sprinkle the gelatine over the water, and wait until it becomes spongy. Then double boil until it turns into liquid again. Add the glucose, stir until it turns liquid too, then add in the shortening . Continue stirring until all are melted.
Remove from heat. Pour into the icing sugar, and mix in the egg white. Beat until the paste becomes white and elastic. Remove the gumpaste, put in an airtight container and let it rest for at least 12 hours before using.
If you notice, the method is very similar to making fondant. If you can make fondant on your own, I think you will have no trouble in making gumpaste. Its definitely cheaper than buying the mix or ready to roll type. You can make a large batch, divide into small pieces and keep it frozen. 

I tried Satin gumpaste but it didn't dry fast. Gum Tex from Wilton is just too expensive. Now I have this recipe...it is such a bless. Easy and cost saving. Thank you Baking Project. 

 Okay...ni lah rupa gumpaste  bila dah di uli. 

Homemade GUMPASTE
 And then...I bake my buttercake and start making flower gumpaste.




I learned making flowers from YOU TUBE.

After finished making flowers, time to make the buttercream. Here is the recipe.

Buttercream Recipe ( White colour buttercream frosting)
200 gram krimwell
150 gram shortening
50 gram butter / marjerin
200 gram icing sugar
2tsp vanilla or any flavour

Mix all in a mixer and whip till it become pale and fluffy.
As simple as that!

Dah siap...time to decorate ....and finally the finish cake is here.
ready to be delivered

Resepi Kuah Kacang

Assalam semua, ni resepi kuah kacang yang sering suamiku minta tiap kali raya menjelma. Actually tak de ikut sukatan pun bab memasak ni. Oleh kerana dah snap pic ni...rasanya sesuai sekali kalau adanya resepi kan. Ok lah...ni resepi dari http://zachoes.blogspot.com ...tapi saya punya lain sedikit..sebab letak daging cincang sekali. So kuah kacang lagi manis dan lemak rasanya.


Bahan:
400g @ 3C kacang tanah, ditumbuk sampai halus (ku guna about 1C - 1 1/2C kacang tanah bersama kulitnya, separuh blend halus separuh lagi blend kasar sikit)

Bahan kisar:
5-10 biji cili kering (ku guna dalam 3-4 biji cili kering yang besar)
4 ulas bawang putih (ku guna 2 ulas)
1 bawang besar (ku guna 1/2 bawang besar merah. Jenis bawang besar merah kuahnya lagi manis berbanding warna bawang yang berwarna kuning)
4 hiris halia (ku guna 1cm lebih kurang)
4 hiris lengkuas 
1 senduk minyak (ku guna dalam 1/8C)
*1 batang serai (ku tak letak dalam bahan kisar tapi ketuk hujung serai dan masuk masa tumis)

Bahan perasa:
1/2C gula perang (ku guna 1/4C)
1/2C gula pasir (ku guna 1/4C)
2sb asam jawa @ 1 asam keping (ku guna agak-agak 1/2sb asam jawa yang dicampur sedikit air)
1200 ml air (ku guna dalam 600-1000ml air, bila kering je letak air sampai betul-betul pekat)
2sb gula pasir (tak letak)
2sb garam (secukup rasa)
tambahan...ialah daging cincang. Suka hati lah nak letak banyak mane pun.. :)

Cara-cara:
  1. Panaskan minyak (bukan yang dikisar sekali dengan cili tapi minyak lain, lebih kurang dalam 2sb). Masukkan bahan kisar (dan serai kalau tak diblend sekali tadi). Masak sampai wangi.
  2. Masukkan kacang tumbuk, masak 5min sambil dikacau-kacau.
  3. Masukkan separuh air, masak sambil sekali-sekala kacau selama 1jam (ku masak 30min untuk separuh adunan).
  4. Masukkan selebih air, masak lagi selama 1jam atau hingga pekat (ku masak 30-60min kalau separuh adunan. Tambah air kalau kuahnya kering tapi masih belum masak/pekat).
  5. Masak hingga pecah minyak (kuah akan kelamaan bertukar dari perang kepada merah, kemerahan bergantung kepada berapa banyak cili yang digunakan).
  6. Masukkan gula pasir, gula perang, asam jawa/keping dan garam hingga secukup rasa. Tambah lagi gula kalau tak cukup manis.
  7. Tutup api dan hidangkan.

Samperit susu

Samperit ni memang sedap dan rapuh. Cuba lah buat. Resepi di ambil dari http://zachoes.blogspot.com
Terima Kasih.

Samperit Susu

Bahan:
125g susu pekat manis - resepi asal guna 250g (1/2 tin yang beratnya 505g)
125g butter, lembut tapi jangan terlalu lembik. Nanti biskut berminyak - resepi asal 250g
230g tepung jagung Brown and Polson (cap butterfly) -  resepi asal 600g. Ku guna 230g, just nice untuk picit dalam acuan
***See NOTE below

Cara:

  1. Pukul sebati susu pekat manis dan butter. Tak perlu pukul sampai kembang atau putih gebu (ku guna whisk telur je). 
  2. Tip: Untuk biskut, tak perlu dipukul sampai kembang seperti membuat kek, kecuali ia dinyatakan dalam resepi. Ini kerana apabila butter dan gula@susu pekat manis dipukul hingga kembang/gebu, kita masukkan udara ke dalam adunan. Apabila adunan ini dibakar, udara dalam adunan akan mengembang dan ini akan menyebabkan biskut turut mengembang.
  3. Masukkan tepung jagung sedikit demi sedikit, sambil digaul sebati. My experience, 230g just nice untuk picit ke dalam acuan. Resepi asal guna 300g tapi pada saya terlalu keras kalau guna semua. Memadai adunan boleh dikepal boleh berhenti tambah tepung.
  4. Picitkan atas dulang yang dialas baking paper. Tekankan ceri merah atau kismis di atasnya (kalau kismis kena potong 4, ia mengembang 2x ketika dibakar).
  5. Bakar dalam oven yang dipanaskan terlebih dahulu, 170C untuk 12-15 minit atau hingga bawah/tepi biskut nampak mula keperangan.

NOTE:
  1. Ku guna susu  pekat manis F and N. Boleh guna susu pekat manis jenama lain.
  2. Ku guna lepa susu jenis yang taklah mahal sangat. Memadai butter yang sedap dimakan dan baunya wangi. Kualiti butter pun penting dalam buat biskut ni sebab takde perasa yang menonjol (contohnya esen vanila). Boleh guna pure butter kalau mahu (ku tak guna sebab tak suka biskut yang terlampau berlemak).
  3. Ku guna tepung jagung dalam tin jenama Brown and Polson (cap butterfly). Guna tepung jagung yang berkualiti untuk dapat maksimum rasa. Jenis murah is not a wise decision, takut rasanya efek nanti.
  4. Ku guna acuan semperit (ke dahlia?) yang matanya tak berapa hensem. Jadi bila picitnya semperit pun keluar tak berapa hensem. Huhuhu..

Buka Puasa?


Assalam semua, finally ramadhan sudah tiba, I am sure you guys sibuk beribadah and also sibuk bershopping sakan tahun ni.

Makan Makan

Too many to post but no lappy . Lappy dah rosak...asyik dok pakai lappy orang sampai naik segan. Kene jugak lah beli tak lama lagi ni. Sorry friends, lama tak update cakes that I baked simply because sibuk dok buat cookies tak sesudah ni. Anyways...ade je kelapangan...I tried few dishes for hubby instead baking. Kesian Oven ku yang berkerja keras siang dan malam. Btw  cakap pasal dishes, gambar kat bawah ni semuanya dishes yang dimasak for one night. 2 orang je yang makan ni...bayangkan lah bertape gigihnya memasak time tu. 
 
Ni kepah ni masak taucu pedas dan fish sauce je.  Korang sendiri tau lah nak masak ni.

...Sotong celup tepung...also another simple dish..

Udang thai style...coriander, serai, serbuk cili, bawang putih, daun limau purut and ....errr...yup..fish sauce. 
Lepas je makan semua ni....memasing tersandar sambil tengok tv. Alhamdulillahhhhhhhh...burp..

Hot lovely Cranberry Scones

I never wanted to bake scones until recently when my cousin and dad asked me to bake it. Scones has always been dry and never to my liking. Keras and kering. Or might as well makan biskut kering je kan ? And so...after months delaying baking it...I finally bake it and to my surprised.....it is so sedap and I have been making it since then..dah 4 batches bake dah ni.
