Ginger Nut Biscuit Muffin ~ 姜坚果玛芬

 Muffins taste as good as they smell.  Sprinkling of rapadura sugar right before baking gives the muffins some texture and crunch in every bite.  Baked with crushed ginger nut biscuits inside.



Ginger Nut Biscuit Muffin  ~ 姜坚果玛芬 


Ingredients

  • 240 gm plain flour
  • 2 'L' eggs
  • 120 gm caster sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 80 gm (7 ginger nut biscuits, crushed)
  • Rapadura sugar or granulated sugar (optional)
Method
  1. Sift the flour with cinnamon, baking powder and salt, set aside.
  2. Whisk the eggs, sugar, oil, vanill  and milk till creamy.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, followed by the crushed ginger nut biscuits, just mix to combine.  Do not overmix.
  4. Scoop mixture till full.  Sprinkle on some Rapadura sugar.
  5. Bake @ 200 deg. C for 5 mins. then for about 10 to 15 mins, @ 180 deg.C .  The initial high oven temperature helps to lift up the muffin top quickly to create a tall crusty top.  Test with a skewer if it comes out clean, with a little crumbs is alright as overbaking makes the muffins dense and dry.
  6. Yield :  10 tall muffins.

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try. 

Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce

I had a look at the Korean sauces that were sitting idle in the fridge and thought what would be the outcome if I mixed them up.  I had to experiment to find out.  So, I got hold of some chicken leg, debone them, mixed in some sauces and cooked up this dish.  Family members said that they tasted somewhat like satay chicken but nodded in agreement that they were delicious :) Recipe for Spicy Chicken with Korean sauce Ingredients                                                                   3 chicken leg, deboned        4 pips of garlic, minced 1  tsp sugar 1/2  tsp salt 1/2...
