******************************
 
Zoe and I was having a short chat last month. She was asking me which potato buns do i prefer, Agnes's or Alan. I told her i like Agnes's but i have not try Alan's so i wouldn't be able to give comment. And i asked her, How about you? Which one do you prefer?? She answer, I am going to bake both and see which one i prefer. Do hope over to her blog (HERE) to see which one she prefer.
 
I have tried baking Agnes's potato buns a few times and my family loves it. Since i have not bake Alan's potato buns, I am going to bake it.
 
 
 
It is soft, fluffy and slight chewy. When you touch and hold it, it s like holding a small pillow :D
 

 
Instead of having a custard cross, i piped spinning wheel  and a double cross pattern with the custard topping
 

Which one do you like?


This is the double cross custard topping,
 
 
All are nice and beautifully and it is ready to go into the oven BUT wait,,,,
there is still a little touch up need to add on...
 

Piped the homemade custard onto the potato buns
I had a big challenge when using the premix custard powder. I follow exactly the recipe the amount of ingredients needed for the custard topping but it doesn't work as it should be.
The mixture is watery and  it definitely can't be piped.
I had to use another source of custard so i use the homemade custard instead. (will share in my later post on the homemade custard which i also use the custard to make a super soft bread0
 

Going into the oven now for 26 minutes.      Its DONE
           These buns are soft and nice to eat it on its own or with a light spread of homemade kaya.(which i will share later :p)         
 
Potato Buns          
recipe adapted from the book of 'In Love with Bread' by Alan Ooi
 
Ingredients:
 
(A) 
400g high protein flour/bread flour
50g caster sugar
6g salt
35g milk powder
6g / 2 tsp instant yeast
 
(B)
190ml cold water
1 egg (grade A - about 60g with shell)
90g potato (steamed and mashed)
 
(C)
 60g margarine (i use butter)
 
(D)
150g black raisin ( i omit this)
 
Custard Topping (i used homemade custard)
 
To Do:
 
  1. Mixed ingredients (A) until well combined. Add ingredients B and mix until dough forms.
  2. Add ingredients (C) mix until the dough is shinny and elastic. Add ingredients D and mix well. Cover the dough and let it rise in a worm place for 50 minutes or until it is double in size. (I use bread maker to do the mixing and kneading. Add the liquid ingredients into the bread pan follow with the dry ingredients. Use 'dough mode' for the mixing and kneading. My bread maker machine mix, knead and do the first proofing.)
  3. POuch the dough down to expel some air. Divide the dough into 14 portions of 70 g each. Roll into balls and rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Shape into balls again and arrange into a greased tray.Let it rise for 50 minutes or double the size. (i did not egg wash mine, just want that matte look :D)
  5. Egg wash and piped custard over the buns. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 20 to 25 minutes or till golden brown.
 
 
ENJOY~

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
