Donut my love..

I made these some time back (before Ramadhan)…   saje suka2 buat love shape… but now i know, sebenarnya ada sebab acuan donut direka macam tu (kosong kat tengah).. pasal bila buat love shape ni (especially with this recipe), dia ada ruang angin kosong kat tengah2… tapi kalau buat style donut biasa tu, takde pulak… but cantik jugak rupa dia kalau buat love shape ni..

Next time kalau nak buat donut lagi, nak try guna donut cutter yg laaagi besar sebab semalam masa makan petang kat Istana Budaya (sementara tunggu my daughter buat rehearsal), makan donut kat cafe kat dalam tu..  donut dia lembut jugak (tapi yg i buat laaaaagi lembut!!) tapi nampak sooo gebu and tempting sebab dia buat besar2..  

Recipe dah bagi earlier kan, so refer posting yg lepas2 ye..

Merry-Go-Donut

It was Izzat’s birthday yesterday (Happy Birthday darling izzat!).  I just thought i should bring something that kids would like.. and the easiest one would be donut!  I used Kak Sue’s recipe (which can also be used as pizza base) as given below.  Simple ingredients, yet can produce a very soft donut!  My choice!  Apart from Chef Li’s recipe, i like to use Kak Sue’s because the end result is similar to me… a soft, cotton-like donut..

 

Donut Kak Sue (ResipiNet)  Ingredients·         3 cups multi-purpose flour·         2 tsp instant yeast·         3 tbsp caster sugar·         3 tbsp milk powder·         3 tbsp shortening ·         200 ml water

Method (if using mixer)·         Combine all dry ingredients. Mix well.·         Add in water.  Beat to form a dough.·         Add in shortening. ·         Continue to beat till a smooth dough is formed. It should have an elastic touch.·         Leave to proof for 15 – 30 minutes till it doubles its size.·         Roll dough into 1cm in thickness.

 

Psst: I’m more than happy to share the recipes of any dishes posted here (which i made). So, jangan marah2, mintak baik2 ye.. Resepi ni takde hakcipta terpelihara (including resepi2 kek & biskut yg diniagakan).. cuma kadang2 malas nak bawak gi opis and re-type..

 

Let’s Pizza..

I made these last weekend.. simple, easy to make and more importantly, INSANELY DELICIOUS!!  masuk bakul angkat sendiri nampak!! hahahha..

I used Kak Sue’s (RN) donut recipe as the pizza base which i shall share with you in my next posting (“Merry-Go-Donut”).  You really should try this.. my tiny house smells like i was in Pizza Hut..  You can put anything you like for the topping.  I just put sausage (smoked), sliced button mushroom, chicken, capsicum, pizza spices, chedar cheese and tomato puree.  How to do it?  It’s easy..  First, you have to get your pizza base ready (i let my breadmachine do the work).  Roll the dough thinly, put it in pizza pan (i don’t have any, so i just put it in my cake tin.  Be sure to put a cookie sheet, otherwise, you’ll have difficulty to take the pizza out).  Then, spread the tomoto puree. Add in a little bit of pizza spices, then all the other ingredients.  Lastly, put in generous amount of chedar cheese and another bit of pizza spices..  You can also add in mozarella cheese (i don’t have any at that time).

And the result:-

Little Tea Party (Part 1)

This week, i believe i’ve gained another kg or two.. thanks to my mom for telling me that i’ve actually lost weight!  and to make up for the ‘loss’, i cook!! hahahhahahah.. 

i always cook when hubby is not around.. kind of bored, so have to do something to fill up my time.. i did housekeeping in the morning, bathed the cats and finally stared at the wall…  huh, what a boring life!  Especially now that it’s school holidays, Danisya will not be at home most of the time.. So, i decided to try out a new recipe – Carrot Muffin, the recipe was shared by Anim the rocker (pls refer to her blog for recipe – http://penyulawa.fotopages.com).  And as requested by my niece, i made another big batch of donut (again?!!).  This was on Saturday.

Everything was ready by 6pm… it was indeed a very lovely afternoon… the kids were happily playing and the mums & dads were happily eating!  hmm, how i love my family…
