Matcha Choc Chip Muffins ~ 抹茶巧克力玛芬

 


This is the first time that I am using self-raising flour to make muffins.  Normally I would use plain flour with baking powder or baking soda but as I ran out of plain flour and only had self-raising flour at hand, I resorted to use this instead.  The result was just as good.  This muffin is moist and soft  and the chocolate buttons paired well with the green tea flavour.  I dusted them with some icing sugar to give them a more appealing look.   









Matcha Choc Chip Muffins ~抹茶巧克力玛芬  

Ingredients

  • 280 gm self-raising flour
  • 2 'L'eggs
  • 140 gm caster sugar
  • 140 gm oil
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp Matcha/Green Tea powder
  • 60 gm chocolate buttons  (extra chocolate buttons to sprinkle on top)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
Method
  1. Sift flour, green tea powder and salt, set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, break in 2 eggs, add sugar and using a ball whisk, whisk till light and creamy
  3. Add in oil, mix well.  Add in milk and whisk till fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in the sifted flour and green tea powder.  Fold in the chocolate buttons, till moistened.  Do not overmix.
  5. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the mixture into a lined muffin pan till 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 210 deg.C for 5 mins., then switch to 180 deg.C  for 15 to 20 mins. Test with a skewer till it comes out clean or with a bit of crumbs.  Overbaking will result dense and tough muffins.
  7. Remove the muffins from the oven, let cool for about 5 mins. before letting them cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Yield :  12 muffins

This choc-chip tea bread is not too sweet and is suitable for tea as the name suggests.  Added in some orange rind for more flavour, not forgetting the walnuts that made it nutty .... munch, munch!

Bunga Telang ~ Blue-pea Flower Snow Skin Mooncakes ~ 2013

For a change, I tried  using a premix to make these Snow skin mooncakes and for colour opted to go natural and use the Bunga Telang or Blue-pea flower.   Indeed the purple colour from the flowers was very distinct on its own but once mixed with the flour, I was rather disappointed. It turned out to be blue instead of purple.  Well, the consolation is that the colour is natural.   Taste wise, I would still prefer to make the Snow skin from scratch rather than use a premix.

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.
