Pandan raisin rolls




Think, I'm bitten by the bug, no, not bed bug, but Bread bug!  There was some pandan paste left after making the Sesame Pandan Braid and putting nothing to waste, made these .....................









Soft and fluffy rolls, not too sweet and with a tinge of tanginess  from the sultanas coupled with crunchy almond flakes ....... lovely, more so if it's your own creation!

Ingredients
  • 250 gm Pandan paste
  • 50 gm Sultanans
  • Egg glaze - 1 egg yolk + 1 Tbsp water + a tinge of salt
Dough Ingredients
  • 1 egg + water to make up 1 cup or 250 ml
  • 1.1/2 oz or 3 Tbsp butter/margarine
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 410 gm High Protein flour
  • 2 Tbsp skimmed milk powder
  • 3 Tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp yeast
Preparation
  1. Put all the dough ingredients accordingly into the bread pan of your breadmaker.  Press 'dough'cycle.  It'll take 1.1/2 hours for the dough to be ready for shaping.
  2. At the end of the dough cycle, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Gently knock back the dough to expel some air.
  3. Roll out the dough to a large oblong, spread with a layer of pandan paste, then sprinkle on some sultanas and roll it up tightly like a swiss roll.
  4. Cut the roll into 1/2 inch slices and place, cut side down on a paper lined baking tray.  Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 mins. till double in size.
  5. Brush with egg glaze and sprinkle flaked almonds on top.
  6. Bake in preheated oven @ 180 deg C for about 20-25 mins. or till golden brown.
  7. Makes 12 rolls.

    Yes, I've a soft spot for pandan.
    Nope, my other half 'dissected' the oven, found the faulty thermostat, now sourcing for the part.

    There's still room for improvement.
    Too bad you're so far away!

    Sonia, yes, why not try it with your homemade kaya. I'm sure they'll taste much better.

    Anonymous. I did a post on Meat Floss buns, taste great too.

    Hi,

    Just would like to check, will the dough get sticky? I have bread machine too but with dough option, it somehow gets too sticky. Do i need to knead it again before shaping?

    Yup, it does get sticky with bread machine too, but then after knocking down the air and then you knead slightly with floured hands, then it'll be ok. When it's not sticky then you can shape to whatever you wish. Hope this helps.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.

Braised Pork Ribs with Yam & Wood ear fungus

I bought this yam/taro from a wet market and the lady assured me that her yams are creamy when cooked.  She cut off a very small piece to justify her statement and true enough I saw some powdery substance on the knife.  It can be very frustrating when you end up getting a yam that's firm even when cooked for yams have a hardy taste with a minimal amount of sweetness.  But if you pair it up with some meat and fermented bean curd, the dish will be transformed into a tasty delicacy. Recipe for Braised Pork Ribs with Yam & Wood Ear Fungus Ingredients 750 gm Yam/Taro, peeled and cut into chunks 450 gm pork ribs, marinated with some seasalt 30 gm wood ear fungus, soaked, stemmed and cut into strips 2 pieces fermented beancurd (Nam Yue), mashed with some water 1 small knob ginger, smashed 5 cups water or more 1/2  tsp  dark soya sauce Salt and sugar to taste 2 tsp Shaoxing wine Method In a wok, saute th...
