To save blackening Banana, I often freeze it after mashed it. Frozen mashed Banana is very easy to use as it thaws very quickly. Today I made these cookies, that are very similar to my ‘No Sugar Muesli Bars’. But I didn’t add Egg, because I made them for a family member who is Vegan. …
I often bake Cinnamon Crumble. Just Cinnamon Crumble only, without fruit OR cake. Then I realised it is the same thing as Shortbread which is made with Butter, Sugar and Flour. I stared adding other Spices to Cinnamon Crumble dough, and using Brown Sugar instead of White Sugar. The yummy Spiced Crumbles are transformed into …
This Cinnamon Crumble is not only for Apple Crumble. It can be used for the topping for a variety of Cakes, Pies and Slices. You can actually bake this Crumble only and add it to Ice Cream, Creamy Dessert, Stewed Fruit, Custard, etc. Ingredients 50g Butter *softened3-4 tablespoons Caster Sugar*Note: You can replace 1 tablespoon …
Deep-frying is a traditional method to cook biscuits in Japan. The fried biscuits are often coated with Sugar and called ‘Karintō’ (かりんとう). ‘Muscovado Coated Fried Biscuits’ are very popular. Today I made White Sugar Coated Biscuits. I added finely ground Tea Leaves to the dough. You can add ground Black Sesame Seeds instead. Ground Coffee …
I saw Fruit Mince stuffed roll cookies on the internet. The picture inspired me to make these ‘Tsubu-an’ (Sweet Azuki Paste) & Walnuts stuffed cookies. I used my ‘Dates & Walnuts Stuffed Coffee Cookies’ recipe. I added Matcha Powder to the dough because Matcha and ‘Tsubu-an’ go very well together. To keep the Matcha colour, …
Piped Biscuits make me nostalgic. They bring back my childhood memories. Piped Biscuits are not the easiest Biscuits to make, but they look pretty and it’s fun to make. Today I made Cocoa flavoured ones, but my shaky hands were even shakier and it was a little frustrating to pipe out the dough. I wish …
This is a special treat for Matcha lovers. I just combined Soft Matcha Chocolate with Sweet Biscuit base that I often use for Cheesecake. Today I used Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits for the base. As it has a strong flavour, Soft Matcha Chocolate also needs a strong flavour. That’s why I added extra Matcha Powder. …
I am a big fan of McVitie’s Digestives Biscuits. I love the texture of those biscuits. I didn’t know that Digestive Biscuits originated in Scotland and McVitie is a Scottish biscuit maker. ‘If it is Scottish, I might try making Shortbread Biscuits using Wholemeal Flour, so that I would make something similar to the Digestives …
If you are familiar with Arnott’s Choc Ripple Biscuits, you probably know ‘Choc Ripple Log Cake’. The very dry biscuits turn into moist chocolate cake when covered with whipped Cream. This dessert is the same thing, but I added Raspberry Sauce to it. It is easiest to set all ingredients in the serving glasses. Makes …
I sometimes bake Cookies and Cakes for the staff members of a tool shop where my husband works. Some of the members are with gluten intolerance. I made these Cookies for them. I used finely ground Rice Flour, that is widely available from Asian grocery stores. It is much cheaper than Gluten-Free Flour, that is …
I had one leftover sheet of Butter Puff Pastry in the freezer and I needed to use it as it was getting old. This is a super easy way to use it. Fold the sheet in this particular way, so that each piece will be baked in a heart shape. Makes 35 Pieces Ingredients 1 …
My ‘Easiest Sweet Shortcrust Pastry’ can be a cookie dough. The cookies made of this dough have crumbly texture that is softer than my ‘Basic Cookie Dough’. Today I reduced the amount of Flour and added Almond Meal for even more delicate texture. Matcha Powder can be replaced with Cocoa Powder, or omitted for plain …
