Pumpkin Choc Chip Muffins 南瓜巧克力满芬


Muffins again!  I happened to make these recently and since Pumpkin is the October theme for LTU,  I took the opportunity to join in the fun.   Not only are these muffins moist and delicious with the cranberries and choc chips, I just can't help admiring the golden hue of the pumpkin in these quick tea bread!








Recipe for Pumpkin Choc Chip Muffins  (adapted from 'here' with modification)
    Ingredients
  • 9 oz plain flour
  • 1.1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1.1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 oz butter
  • 6 oz caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 9.1/2 oz pumpkin puree
  • 100 gm black choc chips
  • 50 gm dried cranberries
Method
  1. Peel off the pumpkin and cut it into chunks.  Steam and mash the pumpkin while still warm.  Set aside.
  2. Sift flour with salt, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon.  Mix well.
  3. Beat butter with the sugar till smooth.
  4. Add in the eggs and vanilla, mix well.
  5. Fold in the sifted flour alternating with the pumpkin puree till just mixed.  Add in the choc chips and cranberries.
  6. Using an ice cream spoon, scoop the batter into muffin cups.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg,C for 20 to 25 mins.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Yield :  15 muffins.


I'll be taking a short vacation and will resume posting in November.

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.

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.
