Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds Muffin ~ 向日葵和南瓜籽玛芬

 

These Sunflower and Pumpkin Seeds muffins, soft and light are so easy to whip up to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea.  They are very versatile as you can have them as a light breakfast or snack as and when you feel like it.  I topped them with more seeds and with a sprinkling of Rapadura sugar to give the extra crunch and coupled with the frgrance of the latter, they certainly brought the muffin to a new level.

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 (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.
