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

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.

Pumpkin Carrot Cake

I have never tried baking cakes with raw pumpkin and was glad when Amy Beh shared a recipe for Pumpkin Carrot Cake.  The moist cake tasted good, the sweet pumpkin blended well with the slightly sourish cranberries.  I have reduced the sugar somewhat and tweaked the method too.  I'll be baking this again for the Chinese New Year.  This cake was an instant hit with my family ....... Try it!

Kuih Bangkit ~ CNY 2010

I recently made this Chinese New Year cookie, 'Kuih Bangkit' for my daughter to  bring back to Melbourne. As Chinese New Year is barely a month away, thought it best to post it now, perhaps you may like to try it out.  These cookies are not too sweet,  with a tinge of pandan fragrance coupled with a sweet taste of coconut ...... yummy.  They do keep well if they're thoroughly baked and they melt in the mouth!
