    A great idea to add mint cookies to the ice cream. Love the crunchiness in the creamy treats.

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.

  This is my first attempt at making bread with half high protein bread flour and half plain flour.  The crumb is tender and softer than with totally bread flour and it has a pleasant chew and not crumbly.  The crust stays thin and crisps up nicely and not hard to chew.  You can slice up the bread and freeze it for breakfast the next day. Marble Loaf (using 50% high protein and 50% plain flour) Ingredients For Tangzhong 15 gm (taken from total 300 gm) high protein flour 75 ml water or milk, or a mix, preferably milk Method Whisk the 15 gm flour with the 75 ml liquid in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens into a paste, about a minute or two. Let cool to room temperature before using in dough. Note :- Tangzhong can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 1 to 2 days. Use the cling wrap to touch the tangzhong to prevent it from drying in the fridge. Ingredients 135 gm high protein flour (after removing 15 gm for tangzhong). ...
