my little favourite DIY

This is another favourite of Singapore. The sweet mung bean soup. It is soft mung bean in starchy sweet soup. It is a comfort breakfast cum dessert. Serve it pipping hot with yu tiao (fried chinese crullers) will be a very satisfiying.        This is water chestnut flour that is a natural thickening agent. They soup will stay starchy even after it is cold. Do not use corn flour or tapioca flour as the soup will turn watery after it is cold.

Bake Along this round is baking Popovers. I never bake Popovers before. Bake Along event give me a chance to bake this really delicious Popovers. I google the recipe from the internet and i choose to bake the recipe from King Aurther flour website. After reading the recipe i was wondering what makes the Popovers puff up so high. There is no baking powder or yeast but it is baked under high heated oven. I read it is related to the Choux puff which puffed up nicely and hollow in the centre.  "Flour, milk, eggs, salt, and butter: what a simple combination of ingredients for such a sublime treat! These popovers don't require a special pan, nor any unusual mixing method; just blend in a blender; beat thoroughly with an electric mixer; or whisk vigorously by hand, and bake a dozen gorgeous popovers, ready in just about 30 minutes."  Above was what that shared on that page that attracts me. Simple ingredients - flour, milk, eggs, salt and butter No special pan needed...
