harapnya tak tergolek dawg lah kek ni all the way from kl to klantan nanti ye!

kalau tergolek dawg jugak, maunya nanti i taruk hawflakes je nanti dalam dulang hantaran tu hahaha :D

hajat hati i nak buat cupcakes macam ni je sebab i yang suka sangat dengan swans tu…ini gambar lama ye! early last year kot i buatkan cupcake ni for a fren’s sister

 

tapi sebab my mom nak jugak layer cakes maka i buat je lah hawflakes layer ni. btw, layer cakes ni kan tahan lasak and lebih sedap if nak compare with cupcakes fondant macam kat atas tu..owh! itu kata tekak i ni ye! tekak orang lain, lain pulak rasa dia

well, lucky me coz the other day ternampak hawflakes layer ni at rima’s and as usual rasa nak makan tu mula lah datang heheh i yang nak makan sebenarnya kan! sebab tu i tk kisah bila mak i suh buat layer cake :PP

hokkay, here’s the recipe, copied from here ! to both of them, thanks a bunch for sharing this wonderful recipe ye!

lapis hawflakes orange

Bahan A
300gm mentega
150gm gula kaster  (saya guna 120gm shj)
14 biji kuning telur
5 sudu makan susu pekat manis

Bahan B
150gm gula kaster  (saya guna 120 gm sahaja)
7 biji putih telur
1/4 sudu teh serbuk krim of tartar

Bahan C
180gm tepung Hong Kong
1 sudu teh serbuk penaik

Bahan D
1 sudu teh pewarna oren (saya guna wilton gel kaler oren )
2 sudu teh pes oren 

Bahan D
10 bungkus asam keping hawflakes

Bahan Sapuan (3 sudu makan majerin + 2 sudu makan susu pekat manis) – saya guna melted butter sahaja 

Panaskan ketuhar pada suhu 175c selama 15 minit. Sediakan tin pembakar 8in x 8in (loose base tin)

Cara-cara :

1. Bahan A : Satukan mentega, gula kastor, susu pekat manis dan esen vanila dalam mangkuk adunan. Pukul dengan kelajuan tinggi selama 10 minit hingga berkrim.
2. Masukkan kuning telur sedikit-sedikit sambil dipukul hingga sebati. Tuangkan adunan mentega ini ke dalam mangkuk yang besar, ketepikan.

3. Bahan B : Di dalam bekas lain, pukul putih telur hingga berbuih. Masukkan gula kastor dan krim tartar. Pukul lagi selama 5 minit hingga adunan kembang dan bertanduk.

4. Bahan C : Masukkan tepung Hong Kong dan serbuk penaik ke dalam adunan mentega tadi. Gaul perlahan-lahan hingga sebati.

5. Tuangkan pula adunan putih telur tadi. Gaul hingga adunan bercampur rata.  Bahagikan adunan kepada 2 bahagian.  Satu bahagian dicampur dengan bahan D (pes oren dan warna oren) dan satu bahagian lagi dibiarkan dengan warna asal.

6. saya masukkan sebanyak 5 tbsp adunan warna asal ke dalam tin pembakar, ratakan dan bakar dengan api atas dan bawah selama 10 minit atau hingga kek berwarna perang.

7. keluarkan dari oven dan ratakan dengan presser (boleh juga guna sudu makan) agar keluar air bubble

 
8. then sapukan permukaan kek ini dgn sedikit bahan sapuan.

9. Kemudian masukkan 5 tbsp adunan oren sebagai lapisan kedua. Susun kepingan asam manis dan bakar dgn api atas sahaja hingga masak.

10. ulang proses ini sehingga habis adunaan. selang seli antara warna asal dengan warna oren, hawflakes cuma untuk lapisan oren sahaja. dan jangan lupa tekan setiap lapisan bila dah siap di bakar ye!

Untuk lapisan akhir sekali, saya guna warna oren dan bakar dulu selama 7 minit guna api atas sahaja

kemudian keluarkan bekas tadi dan balut dengan aluminium foil dan masukkan balik bekas tadi dan bakar lagi selama 15  minit guna api atas dan bawah ye!

note ** kalau masa membakar lapisan yang makin atas, turunkan bekas bakar tu ke bahagian bawah sikit ye sebab takut terhangus pulak. selalunya saya taruk kat middle rack tu and bila dah last last tu saya taruk kat rak paling bawah je

finally, after 9 1/2 hours…..my beef stew is ready

 

 

lama kan nak memasaknya!! well, kalau dah namanya masak guna slow cooker memanglah lama nak tunggu air tu mendidih then nak tunggu daging tu empuk pulak.

anyway, lama pun lama lah kan sebab i tak sanggup nak tunggu masak kat atas dapur selama beberapa jam, malas pun ada hikhik. slow cooker ni kan dah berzaman dah tak di gunapakai, i remember last skali guna masa i kejer dulu and masa tu kena masakkan bubur for little hasya. iyalah kan, pepagi nak rushing pi kejer, pastu babay sitter plak tknak buatkan bubur so, i taruk je everything in slow cooker and the next day tu bubur dah siap dah. well, that was 3 yrs ago kot! now slow cooker ni dok diam diam dalam store room until semalam i amik and guna dia balik…ada gak gunanya dia kan!

hokkay, sebenarnya dah lama nak try buat beef stew ni tapi tak terbuat buat jugak. kira hari hari jugaklah i dok tengok kat allrecipe tu segala jenis mak nenek resepi beef stew ni tapi masih tak buat jugak until lah a few days ago nampak kat blog shidah. short cut, i amik je resepi yang shidah dah cuba ni and buat malam tadi..hmmmm memang worth la hidung i dok terbau bau stew for 1/2 a day semalam :D

ini recipenya ye! originate from allrecipe and i copy je from shidah. thanks eh shidah for sharing this. memang sedap, my hb pun kata sedap ;-) buleh buat lagi lah tu kan :D

Ingredients

• 2 pounds cubed beef stew meat 
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons margarine  ( i guna butter)
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 carrots, sliced
• 3 stalks celery, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• salt
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tsp thick soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 cups water mixed with beef stock (i guna stock  pati daging knorr)

Directions

1. Dredge beef cubes in flour until evenly coated.
2. Melt butter in a skillet, and cook coated beef cubes until evenly browned. Add chopped onion.
3. Once the onion has turned brown, transfer beef to slow cooker and add carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, salt, sugar, pepper, thick soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce. Pour in water and stir.
4. Cover and cook on LOW 10 to 12 hours or on HIGH 5 to 6 hours. Serve hot!!(my slow cooker tkde LOW ke HIGH ke, dia kena ON je, so i cooked for 9 1/2 hrs ;-))

Note : if the stew is too thin, melt butter, add few tbsp flour, cook until brown, add 1 cup of water, stir it, then pour it into the stew. If the mixture is lumpy, blend it before pouring into the stew.

 

after 9 1/2 hrs in the slow cooker, meat tu sungguh lah empuknya!

Sicilian Orange Cake – now u see, now u don’t ;-)

 

 

 

serious ni tau! tak pernah pernah buat cake or cupcakes yang sekejap je habis lincin di balun kami kami 3 stooges  beranak nih LOL :-D

 

it’s either the 3 of us kelaparan bangat or memang we all memang suka kek ni pun i tatau hikhik…. masa the oven berbunyi “ting” tu all of us baru je habis makan dinner (eh apa kami makan ye itu hari sampai kelaparan lagi nih? owh! we just had pasta n soup je) and agaknya masa tu tengah dok pikir what’s for dessert kot walhal memang takde dessert pun and fruits pun tarak jugak. that’s why la bila oven berbunyi je terus the other half tanya what’s in the oven?

when i told him that i make sicilian orange cake, dia bolayan aje..tak sukak katanya tapi bila i makan and then hasya pun join skali sambil mulut dia tak henti henti cakap, “this is yummy mommy, i like it so much”  and then nasib baik sambil i makan sambil tu i amik gambar jugak ye! if i tk buat cam tu memang sah sah takkan ado gambor nya nih hahaha…. tengoklah tangan siapa ni yang tengah tak sabar nak makan ni :D

hasya makan yang atas dulu, crunchy kata dia..itu pasal i suka buat dalam paper cup ni..senang hasya nak makan and sungguh senang kejer i coz tak payah nak potong2 bagai

anyway, here’s the recipe. always saw it at rima’s and also at yat’s place and this recipe i copy from yat. thanks to both ladies who always mentioned that this cake is super duper yummeh..and erghhh memang yummeh pon! we HEART it so much :-)

next time taknak buat 1/2 batter lagi..itu hari dapatlah 6 biji L size cupcakes and 1 small size bundt pan..huh, tak cukup babe! memang kena buat whole batter la;-)

 

sicilian orange cake

ingredients

250 g lightly salted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing

250 g caster sugar

4 medium eggs

1 1/2 tsp finely grated orange zest

250 g self raising flour 

85 ml freshly squeezed orange juice

 

For the icing:

125 g icing sugar ( i cuma sempat sprinkle icing sugar je)

5 tsp freshly squeezed orange juice ( tk taruk pun)

 

Method

Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and line a 22-cm clip-sided round cake with non-stick baking paper.

Using an electric whisk, cream the butter and sugar together for 4-5 minutes until very pale. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating very well between each one, if necessary adding a spoonful of flour with the last egg to prevent the mixture from curdling. Beat in the orange zest. Add the flour all at once and mix in well, then slowly mix in the orange juice.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 45-50 minutes or until a skewer, inserted into the centre of the cake, comes out clean. If it starts to brown too quickly, cover loosely with a sheet of lightly buttered foil.

Leave the cake, in its tin, to cool on a wire rack, then carefully remove the sides and base of the tin and peel off the paper. Put it onto a serving plate.

For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the orange juice until you have a spreadable consistency. Spread it over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides, and leave to set. Serve cut into slices, and store any leftovers in an airtight container.

antara roti dan biskut kering

 

 

today’s breakfast ;-)

actually ada my fren mintak tolong i buatkan bread pudding for her. itu hari dah buat dah tapi this time mintak lagi..sedap dia kata…errr sedap la tu kan kalau dah mintak lagi nih ahaha :D

masa dia mintak tu cepat je i kata ok sebab i suka buat bread pudding…eh, buka suka buat je tapi suka makan bread pudding jugak ahaha :D

rumah i ni jarang ada biskut kering, kalau ada pun marie biscuits je sebab hasya suka n pastu boleh lah diguna pakai untuk buat macam2 kan! then itu hari ada orang bagi sebungkus biskut gula kat we all tapikan, biasa la..kurang laku la kan…so, dudukla biskut gula tu tejeelpuk dalam gobok, tiap kali bukak gobok mesti nampak tapi tk tak tau nak wat apa ngan biskut ni, nak makan plak tak suka…alahai memilihnya dia ye!

then itu hari one of my blogger friend (owh, her father passed away 2 days ago, al-fatihah untuk arwah dan takziah untuk keluarga beliau) ni sibuk dok citer pasal sardine cracker pie ni sedap and dia suh i buat jugak and try jugak…so i pun try la walaupun i ada play cheat sikit..eh tidak tidak…i play cheat banyak jugak ahaha :D

6) Sedikit mentega -sapu atas baking pan

method

- tumis bawang, daun kari, rempah kari, dah naik bau masukkan beef or sardin tu, goreng rata sampai masak (sebab I guna sardin - so I hancur hancurkan isi dia masa goreng tu and i perahkan sedikit jus limau nipis ye!) - bila dah well cooked, put aside

- Then rendam biskut satu, satu dalam fresh milk -

bila dah lembik , letakkan biskut tadi ke dalam loyang  pembakar yang dah di sapu butter tadi ye!

- letak sehingga menutupi permukaan loyang

- then letakkan sardine tadi

- then letak lagi biskut yang dah di rendam di atas lapisan sardine tadi ( macam buat lasagna la ni)

- then letak sardine lagi skali

- and lapisan atas/last tu letak lagi lapisan biskut yang dah di rendam ye! i buat 3 lapis je…if nak lagi tinggi lapisan, taruk lagi banyak sardine and lg banyak biskut lah eh

- then bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes at 175 C

hokkay ini resepinya

i amik kat allrecipe je

 

 

Ingredients

• 1 (2 to 3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces – i cuma guna 6 ketul ayam je
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder – i taruk 1 tbsp – i parut je fresh garlic tu
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper  - i taruk 1/2 tbsp
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 1/2 tablespoons honey  - i taruk 2 tbsp
• 4 tablespoons margarine, melted – i used unsalted butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Rub chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, beat egg yolk with honey and butter or margarine, then brush this mixture over chicken pieces. Place chicken pieces, skin side down, in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, basting with remaining butter or margarine. Just before serving, turn chicken over and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes to cook the skin on the other side.

 

as for the mashed potato tu pulak, i buat je macam kak LG buat. baked the potato in the oven sampai masak. then cool it first then baru scoop isi tu and mashed dengan sedikit milk, white pepper, salt and grated cheddar cheese. then i masukkan balik dalam “potato boat” tu and grill kejap until the cheese dah melt.

Topping:

4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) (55 grams) unsalted butter

3/4 cup (160 grams) light brown sugar – i used 1/2 cup je

1 medium pineapple (peeled, quartered, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick)

Maraschino cherries or candied cherries (optional) – i tk taruk pun

Cake Batter:

1 1/2 cups (195 grams) all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1 cup (200 grams) granulated white sugar ( i used 3/4 cup)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs, separated

1/2 cup (120 ml) milk

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

method

Topping: Place the butter and brown sugar in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved.

Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the sugar starts to caramelize.

Then remove from heat, and pour into your prepared cake pan. Evenly arrange the fresh pineapple slices on the bottom of the pan. (Can also garnish with cherries.)

Cake Batter: In a large bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

- beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

-Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then beat in the vanilla extract.

-Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

- Add the flour mixture (in three additions), alternately with the milk (in two additions), ending with the dry ingredients.

- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the cream of tartar just until the whites hold a firm peak.

-  With a large spatula gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter in two additions.

- Pour the batter into the cake pan, smoothing the top.

- Bake in preheated oven  175 C for 45 - 55 minutes, or until the top of the cake has browned and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan (a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the pineapple) will come out clean).

-  Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan and then invert the cake onto your serving plate.

Serve with softly whipped cream.

Makes one - 9 inch (23 cm) cake. Serves 6 to 8. ( i used 6 inch pan)

Note: Can substitute one - 20 ounce (567 gram) can of pineapple slices (drained). Once drained, pat the pineapple slices dry with paper towel and arrange on top of the sugar mixture. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
