Chilled batter jam muffins ~ 草莓果酱玛芬

 

The batter for these muffins was chilled overnight in the refrigerator as I wanted to experiment with achieving taller muffins.  They were baked in a jiffy and ready for breakfast.  The muffins were soft, moist, crumbly and deliciously infused with some strawberry jam. 



Chilled batter jam muffins      

Ingredients

  • 286 gm plain flour
  • 80 gm caster sugar
  • 40 gm brown sugar
  • 2 'L'eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 cup buttermilk (milk + 1 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice to make up 1 cup)
  • 113 ml oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Strawberry jam or other jam as desired
Method
  1. Sieve and whisk the plain flour, baking powder, salt, caster and brown sugar into a mixing bowl.  Set aside.
  2. With a ball whisk, whisk the eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla till well combined.  Pour this into the dry ingredients.  Mix till just combined.
  3. Cover with cling wrap and chill in the fridge for a few hours or preferably overnight.
  4. Next day, divide the batter into the paper lined muffin pan.   With an ice cream scoop, scoop the batter till 3/4 full, then add a heaped teaspoonful strawberry jam in the centre.  Top up with more batter to the brim.
  5. Bake in a preheated oven of 200 deg.C till golden brown.  Test with a skewer till it comes out clean.  Remove the pan from the oven and let stand for about 5 mins. before removing and letting the muffins cool on a wire rack.  Best to serve the muffins warm.
  6. Yield :  9 tall muffins.
Note
  1.  No need to bring the chilled batter to room temperature before scooping into the muffin pan for  baking.
  2. Tall and crumbly muffins can be achieved with chilled batter.

Durian Butter Cake ~ 榴莲牛油蛋糕

  It's the durian season again and I'm sharing with you a simple yet fragrant Durian Butter Cake.  This recipe does not use the traditional butter totally, in fact there is oil too.  Liquid oil tends to make the cake softer and stays moist longer as it does not solidify at room temperature.  This cake is soft and moist with a tinge of durian flavour and aroma.  A breakfast or Tea time snack for those who love durian.

Beat butter with sugar till well blended, add in oil and continue beating till pale and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, mix well. Add in pureed durian flesh, mix till well incorporated. Sift in again the sifted flour in 2 batches, alternating with the milk.  Fold in till

Chicken Floss Cake ~ 鸡肉松蛋糕

It's normal to find buns coated with meat floss in any bakery, but yet to find a meat floss coated piece of cake.  I saw this Chicken Floss Cake on youtube and was eager to give this a shot.  The recipe is quite similar to a chiffon cake and I was curious to find out the taste which should be slightly sweetish and saltish.  Wouldn't it be weird, I wonder.  But it turned out that the taste is rather unique with a light and soft texture and my family members gave me a thumbs up and asked for more!

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.
