profiteroles au chocolat

 

 

 

i love profiteroles, cream puffs, eclairs or whatever yang sewaktu dengannya lah :-)

sebab suka sangat makan profiteroles ni maka selalu teruja bila tengok rina slalu tayang profiroles dia tu and itu hari mintak resepi ngan dia hikhik..anyway boleh je guna resepi cream puff yang biasa tu tapi sebab rina slalu sangat jual profiterols ni mula lah keterujaan nak try her recipe pulak kan.

i tell you what, i love this so much…alaaa itu kata i yang memang suka makan cream puffs la…hubster and hasya tak heran sangat ngan profiteroles ni..sudahnya i makan sensorang and bawak sikit to my SIL’s house. lupa plak nak tanya dia suka ke tak..tkpe lah as long as i suka kan ;-)

hokkay, here’s the recipe… i just copy whatever rina email me..thanks dear!

ingredients

1/2 Cup Butter
1 cup water (can substitute with full cream milk but i use water)
1 cup Pre-sifted Flour (i just used tepung gandum biasa + 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder)
1/4 tsp salt (i skipped this, coz i used salted butter)
4 eggs ( i used 2 grade A eggs)

 

Method:

Preheat oven at 170 C.
1. Place the butter and water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
2. Remove from heat and with a wooden spoon or spatula, quickly add the flour mixture. If you do not have self raising flour, please mix together the flour and the baking powder first.
3. Return to heat and stir constantly until it become a dough and then remove from heat and using your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer and beat on low speed a minute or two to release the steam from the dough. Once the dough is lukewarm start adding the lightly beaten eggs (a little at a time), keep beating until the liquid of the egg is completely soaked up by the dough before adding more egg. And continue to mix until you have a smooth thick paste.
4. Spoon or pipe ( i chose to pipe) dough on the baking tray. Spacing them a couple of inches apart.
5. Baked for 30 minutes until the shells are a nice amber colour and when split, are dry inside.

 

Whipped cream Filling:
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp granulated white sugar

* In a large mixing bowl place the whipping cream, vanilla extract, and sugar and whip the mixture until soft peaks form. 

 

Chocolate Ganache
100ml fresh cream or double cream
125gm dark chocolate, chopped finely
a pinch of salt.

*In a double boiler, warm the cream until just at boiling point, add the chocolate & salt and stir. When all the chocolate has melted, remove for heat and continue stirring until all well mixed.

once you have piped the whipped cream into the profiteroles,  pour the ganache on top and sprinkle with almond flakes on top

till later…..

fish head curry and grilled chicken

 

lama sungguh tak makan kari kepala ikan sampai lupa lah camner nak masaknya hikhik terukkan i nih :-P

last skali makan december last year..itu pun my aunt yang masak…sendiri masak erghhhh ntah awal tahun lepas kot…pastu tak buat buat lagi kari kepala ikan or kari ikan dan sewaktu dengannya

anyway, semalam kan i pegi buat grocery shopping kat JJ. sempat lah beli kepala ikan salmon nih and sebab the other half kejer kat rumah semalam (penat travel belum habis lagi kot) so i pun masakla kari kepala ikan salmon for him… i know he doesn’t like grilled salmon but he loves curry salmon cuma i je yang asyik tak buat buat kari salmon nih…

dari dulu sampai sekarang, kalau masak kari ikan ni kan i mesti ikut je resepi yang kat belakang paket kari ikan babas tu. resepi dah taruk sini  ye! sedap pulak kat tekak kami berdua nih :-D

as for dinner pulak, cuma buatkan blackpepper grilled chicken jek. masa tengah masak lunch tu, i marinate chicken ni skali. petang tu cuma masukkan dalam oven je la…senang kejer i petang tu kan!

 

this time i marinate dengan blackpepper sauce dalam botol tu…haaaa lagi senang kan kejer i semalam hikhik

BAHAN BAHAN

6 pieces of chicken  – di cuci dan di toskan

2 biji kentang di belah 6-8

2 biji bawang merah di belah 4

1 biji capsicum di potong dadu

1/3 -1/2 botol blackpepper sauce dalam botol

1 tbsp ground black pepper

1 biji carrot di potong memanjang

 

CARA CARA

marinate the chicken dengan semua bahan di atas

actually buat roti ni pun secara tak sengaja sebab mulanya nak buat pizza for dinner..actually dah lama bebenor hasya dok pestering me for a pizza tapi i yang malasnya nak buat and tak buat buat aje. tetiba last friday terasa rajin plak nak try this roti recipe after i read about it at shidah’s blog and then pastu boleh pulak dok intai rina yang asyik guna this recipe jek for her mini pizzas tu…i was thinking, mesti best and senang je recipe ni sebab rina dok asyik guna recipe ni jek for her orders tu.

so, i pun mulakanlah operasi nak membuat pizza kengkonon tapi masa tengah tunggu dough tu naik tetiba jek my other half kata tak terasa nak makan pizza pulak, nak makan kat MFM ler pulak..errr..habis tu apa nak buat dengan dough tu kan? nasib baik hasya masih nak pizza, so i proceed je with 2 mini pizzas for her (habis 2 ketul mini pizzas tu cik adik ni makan) and the rest of the dough tu i buat jek buns with macam macam fillings. ha ah i taruk je lemon curd fillings, strawberry jam, nuttela and butter jek.

sempat bakar buns ni before keluar and by the time nak keluar tu buns ni dah siap and tetiba orang yang takmo makan pizza tadi kata “sedapnya bau” and mintak tapau seketul sebab nak makan dalam keta… bila dah makan..dia buleh tanya pulak..”u bawak seketul je ke?” lorrrr, tadi mintak seketul kan..so i bawak je lah seketul hihihi
