My version of cakoi@paktongko

I love making these...
And i've been making quite a few times and trying to perfect it suiting my taste each time...
Finally, after I think more than 10 times ..haha, I manage to came up with these fluffy, crunchy at the outside and soft at the inside..

Here is the recipe:-
High protein flour - 200gm
Salt - 1 teaspoon
Sugar - 2 teaspoon
Instant dry yeast - 1/2 teaspoon
Warm water - 100ml
Butter - 1 tablespoon

Method
1. Mix sugar and dry yeast with warm water. Let it sit until it bubbles.
2. Next in a mixing bowl put flour and salt together and mix well.
3. Then add the butter, with your hands, mix the butter with the flour.
4. After that, make a well and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix them well. The texture should be just nice and you dont need to add any flour and water.
5. On a clean surface put some flour and you can start kneading the dough.
6. You its done when the dough doesnt stick to your hands, smooth and elastic. Aprroximately 8-10 minutes.
7. Let it rest in slightly oil container and cover with cling film. Let it double in size.
8. When the size is doubled punch the dough to remove the air and knead another minute or so. Cover and let it rest until it doubles again and it is ready to be use.


Enjoy the recipe!

Bun Manis....LAGI!!!

Hehehehehe...
I love making these sweet buns.
It is easy to make and good to eat.
Plus my family loves them.
Noticed that my buns looked fluffier than the first time I've made it. [^_^]
Practice makes Perfect! hehe.
These buns can be used as a basic dough to make other types of bread... example like pizza dough, bread sticks and mini sausage roll that I've posted in the previous post.

Sighning off,

Sausage Roll

I've made these a couple of days ago... used the recipe from my previous post here.

I've used mini sausage roll from Ayamas.. Black pepper ones, so it gives a little bit of 'heat' to the buns.

I loved it! quite easy to make.

Spanish Omellette (Tortilla Espanola)

Breakfast...hmmmm..
I've made this quite sometime ago..
It is Tortilla Espanola....or in English, Spanish omelette.
Spanish omelette is typically Spanish dish consisting of a thick egg omelette made with potatoes and fried in olive oil.
                                             

The potatoes, ideally starchy rather than waxy ones, are cut and then rinsed in water to remove excess starch, then fried in olive oil at a moderate temperature until they are soft but not brown, then drained, mixed with raw beaten eggs, and slowly fried in a pan. 

The tortilla is fried first on one side and then flipped over to fry on its other side. This may be done with the help of a plate or a "vuelve tortillas" (a ceramic lid-like utensil made for this particular purpose). 

Wetting the plate prevents the tortilla from sticking when it is slid back into the pan. Other ingredients, especially onions, can be added.

The tortilla may be eaten hot or cold; it is commonly served as a snack or picnic dish throughout Spain. As a snack, it may be cut into bite-size pieces served on cocktail sticks.

My version of Spanish Omelette

Ingredients:

• Egg
• Potato
• Onion
• Garlic
• Bay leaf

Preparation:

1. Sauté onion until it is soft.
2. Then add the potatoes, a little bit of water and the bay leaf.
3. When the potatoes is cooked remove the bay leaf.
4. The egg is beaten and cooked in a non-stick pan with a slow fire. Then put in the potatoes.
5. When the one side is cooked and set flipped it to cook the other side.
6. Ready to serve

Homemade Mee Udang...

My hubby is very fond of noodle mee and kueteow especially... He is a  foodie.. [^_^]

Biskut Susu

This biskut susu is one of my favourite biscuit during Hari Raya. Nobody had made a very tasty biscuit than my grandmother. Her Biskut Susu is the best and almost "impossible" to make! Her's is so scrumptious it melts in your mouth..literally! I've tried making them several times but I just could't get the "melts in your mouth" part. I'm just baffled.

And each time I visit my grandma, I've always asked her how she made the biscuit. And each time is the same method...went back and tried..the results is not exactly the same. Though the taste is the same.....

Here's the recipe:

• Tepung Jagung    - 1 cup
• Tepung Sagu       - 1 cup
• Tepung gandum   - 1/2 cup
• Icing sugar           - 3/4 cup
• Susu pekat           - 2 tablespoon
• Egg yolk               - 1
• Butter                   - 5 auns ( approximatelt 150gm)
• Vanilla                  - 1 teaspoon

Method:

1. Beat sugar and butter together until fluffy.
2. Add the egg yolk and continue beating.
3. Then add the condensed milk and vanilla.
4. Lastly, add in the flours
5. Mix all well... than roll will a rolling pin.
6. trace with any shapes you like.
7. Bake for ~10-12mins at about 175C

p/S: The batter is very sticky.. to avoid sticking to the rolling pin, place plastic on the batter before you roll. or you can use the pipping bag..easier!
