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.

  • 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.

  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

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.
