Simple Pumpkin Muffin  ~   简单的南瓜玛芬   



Ingredients

  • 200 gm plain flour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1.1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 'L' eggs
  • 75 gm brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 75 gm caster sugar
  • 60 ml milk
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 280 gm pumpkin puree (from fresh pumpkin)
Method
  1. Cut the pumpkin, remove the stringy core and seeds, steam till soft.  Scrape up the soft pumpkin and use a fork to mash up the pumpkin or you can puree it in a blender.  Measure out 280 gm.  Set aside.
  2. In another mixing bowl, whisk flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.  Whisk till well incorporated.
  3. In another mixing bowl, whisk oil, milk, eggs, vanilla, brown and caster sugar till well combined.  Mix in the pumpkin puree, till well incorporated.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, stir till just moistened.  Overmixing will result in tough muffins.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop batter into a paper lined muffin pan till nearly full for a puffy dome.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 20 to 25 mins. till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 mins. before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.  Muffins can be served warm too.
  7. Yield :  9 tall muffins

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.

Marble Loaf ~ 大理石面包

  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.
