I have never paid much attention to scones–I don’t even remember the last time I had them, but it all changed when I was on my cruise vacation. Being on a giant ship 24 hours x 9 days—mostly sea bound—means that the best past time on board was to eat. Every afternoon, I had scones for my afternoon tea, and…
(Butter Cake recipe updated with a new, better, richer, and more buttery recipe.) Even though I am still a rookie in the baking department, I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things, especially baking cakes. I love baking cakes; I find it rather easy, well, if I choose a simple recipe. I especially enjoy baking cakes in the…
I had gone completely bananas with this delicious banana bread. (Banana bread is also known as “banana cake” outside of the United States.) I love the smell of baking, especially the smell of banana bread, so yesterday, I baked banana bread (banana cake). Previously, I baked banana nut muffins to perfume my house with the sweet aromas of bananas. My…
One thing I resolved to do better is learning how to bake, so when I was home this past trip, I managed to pick up a ton of baking essentials: cookie cutters, scale, baking thermometer, cake tester, scraping spoons, etc. (Things are a lot cheaper in Malaysia despite the weak dollars!). Last weekend, I unwrapped all my shiny new baking…
This my lemon chiffon cake. I love the lemony essence and the pillowy soft texture of this chiffon cake. Other than lemon flavor, I also love coffee and pandan (screwpine leaf) chiffon cake. What kind of chiffon cake do you like? (Click Page 2 for the Lemon Chiffon Cake Recipe)
My neighborhood Ralph is giving away more eggs–another carton of 18 large eggs–so that gives me another shot of cultivating the inner-baker in me. I baked a pound cake. With some blueberries. It was yum. (I finally made good use of the bundt pan that I bought months ago.) After a few failed attempts–which I chose not to document here–I…
I am not much of a baker, but I love baking banana nut muffins that perfumed my house with the sweet aroma of bananas and the unmistakably something-is-baking buttery fragrance. Banana nut muffins are probably one of the most popular muffins–not to mention utterly delicious. My banana nut muffins recipe is adapted from Food Network. It’s really simple and non-baker…
Truth be told, I am a food snob. I shun away from chain restaurants–Cheesecake Factory, nah; The Olive Garden, meh; Denny’s, are you kidding me?! So, you have it, I am a food snob. I avoid going to franchise or chain restaurants at all cost, well, unless I am starving to death or stuck in the middle of nowhere and…
Six days, another six days and I shall hop on my flight on my way back to Malaysia for Chinese New Year. Never mind the unbearable coach seat (aka Economy class), 20 hours of eyes-wide-open (I can’t sleep on the plane) and unappetizing in-flight food, I can hardly wait for the day to come. I am brimming with excitement. I…
A package of Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Shells–$4.49 plus tax. A pack of frozen strawberry and blueberry–$2.99 plus tax. Eggs, milk, sugar and other ingredients–less than $1.00. Making strawberry and blueberry tarts that whisper “eat me eat me“–priceless… (Click Page 2 for the Strawberry and Blueberry Tarts Recipe)
