Ginger Nut Biscuit Muffin ~ 姜坚果玛芬

 Muffins taste as good as they smell.  Sprinkling of rapadura sugar right before baking gives the muffins some texture and crunch in every bite.  Baked with crushed ginger nut biscuits inside.



Ginger Nut Biscuit Muffin  ~ 姜坚果玛芬 


Ingredients

  • 240 gm plain flour
  • 2 'L' eggs
  • 120 gm caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 80 gm (7 ginger nut biscuits, crushed)
  • Rapadura sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
Method
  1. Sift the flour with cinnamon, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  2. Whisk the eggs, sugar, oil, vanill  and milk till creamy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, followed by the crushed ginger nut biscuits, just mix to combine.  Do not overmix.
  4. Scoop mixture till full.  Sprinkle on some Rapadura sugar.
  5. Bake @ 200 deg. C for 5 mins. then for about 10 to 15 mins, @ 180 deg.C .  The initial high oven temperature helps to lift up the muffin top quickly to create a tall crusty top.  Test with a skewer if it comes out clean, with a little crumbs is alright as overbaking makes the muffins dense and dry.
  6. Yield :  10 tall muffins.

Pumpkin Carrot Cake

I have never tried baking cakes with raw pumpkin and was glad when Amy Beh shared a recipe for Pumpkin Carrot Cake.  The moist cake tasted good, the sweet pumpkin blended well with the slightly sourish cranberries.  I have reduced the sugar somewhat and tweaked the method too.  I'll be baking this again for the Chinese New Year.  This cake was an instant hit with my family ....... Try it!

Snow Swallow Dessert ~ 天然野生雪燕

  Natural Wild Tragacanth Gum 'Snow Swallow' or Xue Yan is a gum derived from different varieties of sterculia trees.  It's actually a sap drained from the root of the plant and  the gum dries as it exudes and is then collected.  Once rehydrated will increase to about ten times in size and their white stringy, jelly like strands texture resembles that of the much prized and highly valued bird's nest.  One thing to take note when cooking this dessert is that the gum is highly soluble in water and cannot be boiled too long. Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge.

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.
