Post Ramadhan- Celebrating, Celebration, Celebrated : Part 2

Still with happenings during the holy month of Ramadhan, this entry will be on a cookie recipe, a new entry into my must-haves Eid-ul-Fitr’s cookie list. The recipe is simple, uses only four ingredients, but with melt in the mouth outcome. A single batch would produce about 70-80 pieces of cookies so I doubled the ingredients used. Have a try, will you?

Ingredients :

  • 125 butter (I used SCS)
  • 40g icing sugar (sieved)
  • 125g potato starch
  • 80g superfine flour

Method :

  1. Beat butter and icing sugar till creamy and pale.
  2. Put in potato starch and superfine flour and mix gently to form a soft dough.
  3. Roll into small balls and arranged on a greased baking tray. ( I used 1 teaspoon of dough for each balls).
  4. Dip the tip of your fork in a bowl of water and press on the rolled dough.
  5. Bake in preheated oven at 170C for 15 minutes. (The oven I’m using gets very hot easily so I baked mine at 120C for 15 minutes)

According To My Girl

I have to admit that in certain ways, Halimatus is a wee bit like me when it comes to food. It is not easy for her to like certain types of food but once we are hooked, we would remain loyal to it. I tried to make this type of biscuit years before and surprisingly, my girl enjoyed it at the first bite. Now, whenever I mention that I want to bake some biscuits, she would suggest this ‘Biskut Bangkit Nyonya ‘. After a very  long delay, I decided to bake a batch for her today. It was worth all the effort to see how she enjoyed eating them. As usual, I’ve amended certain steps in preparing these melt in your mouth biscuits.

Bila Silap Muat Turun Resepi……

Salam dan apa khabar? Hari ini tiba-tiba terasa nak menulis dalam bahasa Melayu. Lagipun, saya kan orang Melayu jadi rasanya, tidak salah menulis di dalam bahasa ibunda saya, bukan?
Di kalangan kawan-kawan rapat saya, mereka sedia maklum yang saya suka mengumpul resepi. Setakat ini, sudah hampir tiga buah buku resepi yang saya ada. Mana-mana resepi yang saya cuba dan menjadi, saya akan muatkan dalam blog ini.
Bercakap mengenai resepi, topik hari ini adalah mengenai resepi Kuih Tat Nenas yang menjadi kuih kegemaran saya sejak dulu, kini dan selamanya. Tiap-tiap kali Aidilfitri, mesti kuih ini yang saya cari. Kalau rajin, saya buat sendiri. Selalunya, saya minta adik tolong buatkan. Lagipun, adik perempuan saya itu memang menjual kuih Raya. Kiranya, saya tolong dia cari duit Raya lebihlah! Tidak mengapa. Pada saya tidak salah jika saya pun tumpang seronok ada adik yang pandai membuat kuih kan?

Disebabkan Aidiladha bakal menjelma, maka saya dengan semangat yang berkobar-kobar telah mencuba resepi Tat Nenas oleh Puan Norzailina Nordin. Beliau ini memang terkenal dengan kehebatannya memasak dan menghasilkan novel2. Saya timbang semua bahan ikut resepi yang saya ambil dari laman web beliau. Saya ubah sedikit resepi itu sebab saya kehabisan stok tepung jagung dan saya gantikan dengan tepung kastad. Saya rasa sangat teruja sebab dohnya nampak kuning dan cantik tapi bila mahu mula menerap, melekat-lekat pula di acuan. Saya mula paniklah. Dalam hati,” Eish..takkanlah tukang masak tersohor bagi resepi salah kot?”. Saya tambahkan tepung gandum pada doh hingga boleh diterap. Saya letak jem nenas, lepas tu, bakar. Tunggu sejuk dan cuba rasa. Emmm, sedap la pulak. Sambil masukkan tat dalam botol, sempat jugaklah tiga, empat keping masuk ke dalam mulut saya!

Pagi-pagi ni, saya terus ke laman web beliau. Semak punya semak, laaaa….saya yang silap. Saya telah gunakan resepi Tat Gulung untuk buat Tat Nenas yg tradisional tu. Patutlah doh tu lembik! Jadi, saya senyum pada diri sendiri sebab tidak baca resepi betul2! Walauapapun, saya letakkan resepi Tat Nenas tukang masak pujaan saya itu. Manalah tahu, mungkin anda ingin mencuba! Saya ucapkan Salam Aidiladha kepada semua yang menyambutnya. Saya akan berhari raya di kampung saya maka saya akan kembali menulis di blog ini sekembalinya saya dari kampung. Jumpa lagi!

Raya Delights

Hi! In this entry, I would attach the outcome of my amateurish effort in baking Raya cookies. I’m really not in the mood of writing at the moment so I guess, the photos will do. Have a blessed and blissful Syawal. I do seek forgiveness for all mistakes done. Till then, take care.

I Want Cookie!

Hi! This time, the entry will be my Choco Chip Spotties aka Choc Chip Cookies. I found this recipe in one of my cookbooks and if I’m not mistaken, it’s from Nestle. My girl simply loves these cookies. When I first tried baking these cookies, I found it to be a bit too sweet to my liking. Since I enjoy the light and crispy texture I have tried ommitting the white chocolate listed in the original recipe and to my delight, it worked! Now, I can have more cookies!!! Do try to bake these, especially those choc chip cookie lovers, because they are fun in every bite!
