creme caramel

this is an easy and yummy recipe! Got it from Ida who got it from Kak Eida Hamzah

Crème Caramel

For the custard:

3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
3 oz (75gms) caster sugar
Pinch of salt
500 ml fresh milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
Butter for greasing (optional)

For the caramel:

100gms sugar

Method:

Preheat the oven to 160ºC. Pour about 1 inch of hot water into a roasting tin large enough to hold a custard mould. Place this tin in the oven.

Put the eggs and egg yolks into a bowl. Beat them lightly, but not to a froth. Add the sugar and salt and mix in. Heat the evaporated milk and fresh milk in a pot until it is very hot. Slowly pour the hot milk into the bowl with the eggs, whisking vigorously, add the vanilla and mix it in.

Grease the custard mould with butter. Put the sugar for the caramel in a heavy based frying pan, spreading it over the bottom. Heat it over a medium heat. Do not stir. As the sugar melts and turns brown, tilt the pan around so that the sugar moves a little. When all the sugar has caramelized, pour it into the custard mould. Tilt the mould around so that the sides are coated. The sugar will harden. Strain the hot custard into the mould and place the mould in the roasting tin of water. Cook in the oven for 1 hour or 1 hour 10 minutes. Let the custard cool before putting it in the fridge. Invert the custard.

Bubur kacang merah

A discussion on our egroup yesterday had mentioned bubur kacang hijau. It reminded me that there is a packet of kacang merah (kidney beans) in the kitchen. Having never ever cooked this before, it was a good excuse to look up a recipe. Found this in a nyonya cookbook, and was easy to make (less than 5 ingredients!).

1. Soak packetful of kidney beans for around 2 - 3 hours (funnily enough, the skin were all wrinkled up).

2. Boil water in a pot, with daun pandan.

3. Add beans + thinly sliced orange peel (from 2 dried peels).

4. Simmer till soft.

5. Add gula batu (to taste).

6. Stir intermitently to avoid being sticky.

I had to add bit more water in the process, for it became too sweet while it was simmering. Lovely to eat while hot!

Onde-onde

I had initially planned to make this for Iftar in Ramadhan ... never got round to doing it till now ie almost 3rd week of Syawal. Pathetic. Still, it's here, and it was delightful eating onde-onde made purely with daun pandan extract rather than green colouring.

Onde-onde

1. Mix 1/2 packet tepung pulut with air daun pandan (one recipe called for 240 gm tepung and 180 mls liquid). I simply cut up several daun pandan leaves and blended it up with bit of water. Mix till get 'dough kental'.

2. Prepare kelapa - grated coconut with pinch of salt.

3. Prepare sugar - lecek gula melaka.

4. Roll into ball-shape, make small indentation, put gula melaka, drop into boiling water.

5. Once it's cooked, it will float up. Take out from pot, strain and mix into grated coconut.

6. Serve and pop into mouth :)

Baked bananas

I had an empty shelf in the oven while baking the chicken pies, so decided to bake some bananas that was just lying around in the kitchen. After 40 minutes this was what happened. Sliced the banana, drizzled honey on it and oh it was so good!

Lompat Tikam

One of my favourite local desserts. Various steps are involved in the preparation but it's worth it.
1. Pulut - soak few hours in water, add red colouring + few pieces of asam keping. When red enough, strain, steam few minutes till done.
2. About 300 gram tepung beras, add water + air daun pandan (+green colouring if so desired) + bit of kapur (I used sodium bicarb) and mix till betul2 cair. Heat over slow fire. Keep stirring and stirring and stirring till thick. This takes quite a while and is good upper arm exercise!
3. Take santan pekat, heat with about 1 tablespoon of tepung beras.
4. Make air gula - brown sugar + water + daun pandan.
5. to eat, mix all.

Baked sweet potato

If you are baking something in the oven, can chuck in sweet potatoes as well. Scrub the sweet potato, pierce to let out steam, place on baking pan, bake 180 degrees for one hour. Almost effortless. We ate it with grated coconuts (with bit of salt and sugar sprinkled on).

Biskut raya

Decided to do this on Sunday evening. Pretty easy:

250 gm tepung
125 gm ghee
125 gm sugar

mix all, divide into 3, colour each one with red, green, yellow.
Make little balls with each colour. Take 3 different coloured little balls and join together, roll.
Bake in preheated oven 150 ish for 15 mins ish.
Cool.
sprinkle with icing sugar if desired.

Egg banjo for iftar :)

1. Prepare burger buns - spread butter/margarine, grill. Spread mayonnaise.

2. Prepare eggs - i used the round egg ring for this.

3. Prepare fillings i.e. sliced lettuce, onions whatever you want

4. Place cooked eggs in bun, top with fillings, spread with tomato/chilly sauce.

Yumm.

Ajue's Dadih

Ramadhan 2010 brings on a new 'element' to our tkc8084 egroup network ... we are sharing recipes! It's much nicer to try new recipes when you know that it's tried and tested in someone else's kitchen. I had ample agar-agar in my pantry, so Ajue gave this recipe. Extremely easy to do (took only 1/2 hour to prepare including cleaning up) and fits my bill of 5 ingredients or less. I much prefer the chocolate to the other.

1 liter susu kotak strawberry or choc
2 liter air
1 cawan gula (adjust according to preference)
10 gm agar-agar paket or 1/2 packet strip ones (1 packet of 20-ish gm agar2; they come in two sizes i think)

1. Bring to boil air, agar2 and sugar.
2 Tutup api, stir in milk.
3. Strain into little containers.
4. Refrigerate.

Rich chocolate marble cake

This is an amazing cake which was surprisingly easy to make, especially when I used the cake mixer. Got it from (where else!) mamafami fotopages (source Sheila Mambo). My marbling effect didn't really turn out, but the good thing about that was that the choc bits were more in the middle :) I didn't have dark chocolates in the fridge, so used normal chocolates instead. I can only imagine how superb it will be with the dark version! Next baking session.

Recipe:

Preheat oven 170 degrees.

Melt 125 g dark chocolates. Cream together 125 g butter + 125 g sugar. Get 2 eggs, beat a little, add to mixture little at a time. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla essense. Add alternatingly 155 g self-raising flour with 80 mls fresh milk.

Divide cake mix into 2; mix 1 with the melted choc. Grease small pan (I used an 8 inch round cake pan for a doubled mixture). Add 2 tablespoon plain mixture to centre of pan, top with 2 tablespoons choc mixture. Continue until cake mix is finished. Bake 45 minutes or till done. Allow to cool. Eat. Scrumptious.

bubur pulut hitam

First attempt at bubur pulut hitam

1. Soak about 300 gram beras pulut hitam - few hours (Half day/overnight)

2. boil in water (banyak jugak la) + daun pandan - i used a pressure cooker so it took about 40 mins total

3. Add caster sugar 100 g + brown sugar 100 g

4. Add bit of santan (to taste actually)

5. Add bit of salt (?about 1 teaspoon - to taste)

serve with thick santan - cook 1 packet of instant coconut + bit of water + bit of salt.

Tried this recipe given by Pah. Sedap!

3/4 cawan gula halus

1/2 cawan tepung custard

1 cawan tepung jagung
1 cawan marjerin
2 biji telur (diambil telur merah sahaja)
sedikit vanilla
tepung gandum secukupnya.

Cara nak buatnya, standardlah. Creaming method.

Tepung gandum tu tambah sampai dapat a soft and nice dough. Kalau I sukat, lebih kurang 2 cawan-2 cawan setengah.

Selamat Mencuba....tahun depan....
