Cream Corn Muffins



Made these Cream Corn muffins as I was eager to try out  the Aussie Demerara sugar as a topping.
The full-bodied toffee and subtle butterscotch aroma of this sugar really helps to create a more flavourful and aromatic muffin.  Add this sugar into your cofee .....Quote 'makes the pleasure of sharing intimate coffee moments even better' Unquote from CSR Demerara sugar.










These muffins are soft, moist, ideal for breakfast or serve them for tea.  Must remember to sprinkle more of this sugar next time. Yummy!

Ingredients
  • 150 gm cream corn (canned, any brand of your choice)
  • 150 ml milk/soymilk  (I used soymilk)
  • 150 ml canola oil
  • 80 gm caster sugar
  • 2  tsp honey
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1  tsp vanilla
  • 250 gm plain flour
  • 1.1/2 flat tsp baking powder
  • 1  flat tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/4 flat tsp salt
  • Some Demerara sugar to sprinkle
Method
  1. Sift the flour with the baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, mix well.
  2. Stir in the caster sugar and mix well, set aside.
  3. In another mixing bowl, add  in the oil, honey, soymilk, vanilla and cream corn.  Whisk in the lightly beaten egg and stir well.
  4. Pour this liquid mixture onto the dry flour mixture and mix till just combined.  Do not overmix.
  5. Spoon onto paper cups and bake in preheated oven @ 180 deg C for about 25 mins.  Insert a skewer into the centre of the muffin and see if it comes out clean.
  6. Sprinkle a generous amount of Demerara sugar onto the muffins immediately upon removing them from the oven.
  7. Serve warm.

    This is from Melb. My girl passed it through her friend who just came back for hols. Perhaps you can try to find it in Cold Storage, Ipoh's Cold Storage closed down quite some time ago. Not available in JJ and Tesco. It's readily available in S'pore supermarkets, from Mauritius but I prefer this, more coarse.

    I've been using soymilk instead of milk in most of my recipes. Taste can be a bit different. Why not experiment with it and see for yourself?

Double Boiled Herbal Chicken Soup

Double boiling is slow cooking ........ means to put a soup pot or any covered ceramic or steel pot inside a bigger pot, immerse in boiling water, and let the soup cook at a lower temperature.  Hence the soup is cooked from heat generated from the boiling water and not from direct heat source. Double boiling lets the soup ingredients slowly release their nutrients into the soup, thus making it tasty and wholesome.  It's a long cooking process, roughly averaging 2 to 4 hours.  The tip is not to open the cover to check on the soup as it'll bring down the temperature and affect the cooking process.  The plus point is there's little evaporation and the soup will not boil over.  The only thing is to monitor that there's enough water in the bigger pot and not let it run dry.  Of course, nowadays, the slow cooker is another alternative to double boiling, saves the hassle of checking the water level.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.
