Banana cake (Zack’s fotopages – from Allrecipes.com) March 2007
1 g salt 115 g unsalted butter
120 g white sugar
80 g light brown sugar
2 eggs
4 ripe bananas, mashed (i had pisang emas, so used 8 of that)
160 ml buttermilk ( 155ml milk + 5ml vinegar/lemon juice )
*60 g chopped walnuts (omitted - just discovered kids prefer no nuts)

How to make:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease and flour 2 - 8 inch round pans. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, soda and salt; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter, white sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix in the bananas. Add flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk to the creamed mixture. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and place on a damp tea towel to cool. After the cake has cooled off a little bit, I wrapped the cake in cling wrap and left it overnight.

sup tulang lindek / zurin

sup tulang /ekor... terlupa nak taruk bawang goreng / daun bawang at this point. Lindek gave a recipe using pressure cooker, but since i don't have one i made this with a slow cooker - almost 6 hours .. nice and daging is soft. didn't type her recipe but can use zurin's which i have in this computer. Hope she doesn't mind. Lindek, if you can please jot down your version.



Zurins’ sup tulang


I cukup suka sup tulang. Nomally I beli ribs, masak 2-3kg.
I tumis a lot of bawang besar yang dah dadu, halia yang dimayang and b. putih. Lepas tu campur kayu manis, cengkih and lada hitam. Put in as much as you like. I suka bubuh banyak sbb I like the smell. A little of pelaga and b. lawang (jangan banyak sagat sbb soup will turn sourish). Tumis wangi.

Masukkan air. Gelegak, masukkan tulang yg dah buang ALL the lemak and bunjut sup tulang Mak Siti. Gelegak,tutup periuk,,rebus api kecil for 1half to 2 hours. Dah empok masukkan a lot of carrots and some kentang. The more carrots the sweeter the soup. Bila dah siap, biarkan soup for a while then scoop up the minyak on top together with some soup. Put the minyak mixture in the fridge. Bila the minyak dah beku, throw the minyak away and pour the remaining soup into periuk.

apple muffin

did this last weekend - didn't have muffin cups so it turned out more like cupcakes. Nice. Honestly can't remember the source of this recipe but it's easy to make and tastes nice even without the nuts. It's another easy-to-make and yummy-to-eat. 45 mins from start to muffins on the plate :)

And since you don't need butter (which needs to be softened in some recipes) then it's do-able as a emergency snack.

Pizza

Dear All,

THis is my favourite picture to date!! Before and after pictures. Found this in this cookbook by KKM (kem kesihatan msia) - must be a campaign for cara hidup sihat. This dough is nicer than the previous one. Very do-able. in fact i made in the moring, put in fridge and popped in the oven for lunch. The sky's the limit when it comes to the topping choice. didn't have mozzarella (boy i do miss all that cheese in UK!!) so used sliced cheddar cheese instead. the tomato base was a bit sweet so i'd reduce the sugar a bit next time. didn't have fresh tomato either so I skipped that.
