Home made Lemon Curd .. 自制柠檬凝乳

Hi everyone, hope that everyone are fine and well.
I am not very well since CNY because of bad flu and cough. The flu and cough that i had was on and off maybe due to leak of rest (",) and the weather here is really hot.  The bad coughing irritated me. I can't concentrate in whatever things that i am doing...sigh!!

Anyway, i am going to share this Home made lemon curd. This is a simple and delicious lemon curd. 

I love this smooth, sweet and tangy home made lemon curd. It is so good to spread on scones or bread roll or crackers or even better to use as lemon pie filling. 
It is so easy to prepared. All you need is lemons, sugar, eggs and some butter, then you will have a home made lemon curd in no time. I used mircowave oven to make my lemon curd.  


 Home made lemon curd
recipe source: 孟老师的甜派与咸派(a chinese version of Meng Lao Shi (Teacher Meng's) Sweet Pie and Savoury Pie)

Ingredients:

145g whole eggs
145g castor sugar
135g lemon juice
zest of a lemon 
135g unsalted butter

To do:
1) Add eggs and sugar in a heat proof bowl. Double-boil it until it is warm and sugar have dissolved,  stir with a whisk. Add in lemon juice, keep stiring with the whisk. (i did not use double-boil method. I use mircowave oven to warm and cook it.)

2) Double-boiled the mixture until it is thicken. Turn of the stove, add in lemon zest and unsalted butter. Stir well and its done. 

3) Store it in a clean jar after it is cool.

Chewy Korean Mochi Bread ... (QQ 韩式麻磁面包)

I have been wanted to bake this Korean mochi bread for quite sometimes but did not take any action until a friend of mine ask about it. She sent me a pack of this Korean mochi bread premix and ask me to try. Thanks to LK for sending me the pack of Korean mochi bread premix. This premix is not cheap, a pack of 550g cost rm12.50.  本想老早就来玩玩这麻磁面包担是就一直没行动 :p 友LK拿一包韩式QQ面包预拌粉给我，就赶快试一试吧！! Nice looking little buns, my second ask me "mummy, its this some kind of DINO eggs??" Haha..what do you think? Do you feel the same as my second? This is my first attempt for this Korean mochi bread. I am quite happy with the out come of this Korean Mochi Bread. I have 2 recipes with me when i wanted to try out, which i can't decided which to use. In the end i decided to use the smaller portion recipe. I was thinking if it doesn't turn out well, as least i did not waste too much ingredients :p The recipe i am using is from a fb friend, Pheony. She is a great baker. All her cakes,
