my little favourite DIY

Hi there! Good morning!..I am into Bake Along mode this few days. Bake Along event is baking Milliefeuille this round. I love to join these 3 wonderful hosts of Bake Along event.; they are non other then  Joyce of Kitchen Flavours ,    Lena of Frozen Wings   and   Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids .   In this event they always suggest some awesome bakes that i will never thought that i will Bake Alone , If it is wasn't a Bake Along with these 3 awesome ladies and others great blogger friends, i will never bake so many different types of wonderful  bakes. Can you imagine that, it is Bake Along #73 now. If you have not join Bake Along, then come along join us :D  This is a easy and simple mille feuille recipe that i found in bbc.com by Lorraine Pascale . It is made with shop bought puff pastry for simplicity.  Am i cheating here..:p :p  I wanted to make puff pastry from scratch but i just can't squeeze out any extra time lately :(... I am ...

  I have never make my own puff pastry before but this time i am going to challenge it :D A blogger friend gave me this book 'Ready for Dessert' by David Lebovitz, i found the recipe for quick puff pastry in this book. This recipe uses butter and not pastry margerine which is what i am looking for. After reading from this book then i only know that making puff pastry you need to "takes six turns to roll it out", but this quick recipe only need to do the first four all at once, then the last two later. Another thing special about this recipe is, David uses a mix of all purpose flour with  whole wheat flour and that whole wheat flour balances out what some might consider an injudicious amout of butter in the dough. - shared from the book :)       Thank you Joyce !! I love this cook book ^_^ ***************** Are you interested to make your own quick puff pastry too?? I use this puff pastry ...

This is my first rulegach.  Since last watch pastry chef 'Anne Olson' making her rulegach i have been wanted to make rugelach. Rulegach have been on my very long to do lists. This round Bake Along is baking 'rulegach'  Yipee! I can bake along in the Bake Along event #. . Here I had to apologize  cause this is a late late post. 这是mui第一次做'rugelach'. Rugelach是一种犹太人过 hannukah的传统庆祝美食. 犹太人没庆祝圣诞节而是'Hannukah' 是 光明节，修殿节. 看过Anna Olson 甜点主厨 的节目就很想尝试做这犹太酥卷. 不过啊! 迟迟都没行动. 这次就曾着'Bake Along'的活动动手做了. 这酥卷的饼皮是用乳酪奶油和牛油做成的, 所以呀,特别香酥. 内馅是果干,坚果,黄糖和桂皮粉.(我用了美洲山核桃, 味道更香噢!) I wasn't very happy with shape of my rugelach. I found the pastry dough is too soft to handle although i have chilled it as the recipe says.  面团有点太柔软,不容易卷起. 所以我的酥卷就卷的丑丑的. 不过啊!! 这美洲山核桃酥卷很香很好吃!!  ^_^ Look at my ugly but delicious rugelach :p   This rugelach is indeed very flaky and delicious. I made mine into pecan filing instead of walnuts. I used apricot jam and reduce the amo...

This is another Delia Smith's wonderful recipe. It is the Quick and Flaky pastry from her online Cookery School site. I am burning the midnight oil to make this simple prawn and mushroom turnover...LOL :Pll my pictures is taken with my smart phone..:D I decided to make this after i saw Sweet Angel's  (Angeline)  Quick and Flaky pastry Portobello turnover. This quick and flaky pastry is very quick to prepare but it is very challenging to handle because it turn soft easily. Shaping it will have to be like running to and forth from the fridge to keep the pastry firm and not too soft. Although the pastry is very very soft to handle but it is all worthwhile because it is sure delicious!!! The pastry is buttery, crispy, tender and most of all it is quick to prepare. I will definitely use the quick and flaky pastry again and again and again with different fillings. I make a simple prawn and button mushroom filling to wrap in this turnover. Again I onl...

Gong gong grown some banana trees at our backyard, now the banana trees have bare lots of fruits. Too many I can say, we are trying to give to friends and relatives and also keep some for ourselves. Other then eating the fruit plain, I also use them to make muffin, cake, pie, pancake and puff. Today I am making Banana Puff. I saw this puff pastry in a magazine and found it is very interesting. I use to go to bookstore and browse around the magazine. If I found something interesting I would not let it slip away, I would lay hand on to try out the recipe when I get home....:p This is a malay style puff pastry, it is flaky, crunchy outside and soft inside. It is really nice and delicious...(",) ~This is the Banana Puff, my sister and I made 20 of this miniature puff~ Puff pastry water skin pastry ingredients (A): 150g plain flour 20g icing sugar 40g shortening..I use Crisco 40-60ml water To do: 1) Mix all of this water skin ...
