Rest in Peace,Bun. This is my bread picture for the recipe that u share to us.

KBB VI- Cheese Biscuits

Its the time for salty biscuits.
The 6th assignment from Klub Berani Baking.
This biscuits are easy to make, and the most important part is EGGLESS.


I felt that the taste is similar with Kaastengels,only the process is much easier and simpler.


I used Monterey Jack for the cheese,white sesame seeds, and little bit chopped almond&walnuts.
My Jasmita enjoyed these biscuits fresh from the oven.


CHEESE BISCUITS
Source: Vogue Australia: Wine and Food Cookbook.


225g grated mature cheese
125g butter
125g flour
cayenne pepper to taste
sesame seeds

With finger tips, mix together cheese, butter, flour and cayenne pepper until mixture forms a mass. Butter a biscuit tray. Make small balls of the dough. Roll some in sesame seeds and press on tray, placing them fairly far apart as they will spread while cooking. (We have pressed walnuts on some of the biscuits and, for a colour contrast, some chopped pistachio nuts). Bake biscuits in pre-heated oven 180C for 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container

Truly, I need more practice,more peacefullness in the house, and YES, I really need 2 piping bags for this.


Messy as the book mentioned.

Looks better without the paper.

Nutella & strawberries

No bake,no gas, no mixer,no eggs.







Nyummmm.

Vegan-Golden Vanilla Cupcakes

I am amazed with the taste, still cannot believe that this cake made from no eggs.
This is my 1st trial from this vegan book.

My hubby & I, felt this cake was very sweet at the beginning (after sometimes cool from the cooling rack), but after I kept in the fridge and had them for breakfast, the sweetness was ok.



I used margarine instead of oil & for the icing, I used only fresh strawberry & blend them together with butter & icing sugar.

This is the richest cookies I had baked. Imagine banana, walnut, oatmeal, and chocolate- who´s not tempting to try them? Dont think about the calories, just think the yummm taste u gonna get.

Got this recipe from Vania. As usual she always put drolling pictures on her blog. Dont compare mine with hers, anyway this cookies totally yippy. I love it.

Enjoying them freshly from oven is one of the best from the overall cookie process.
Its crunchy outside and in the middle little bit chewy.
One thing that have to remember is from this recipe we can make around 3 dozen cookies(first I didnt notice it, until the dough was ready and realized that my pan didnt fit them all), and while waiting they´re set I open her site again and notice the sentence make around 3 dozen cookies.

Carrot Ka Halwa / Carrot Pudding

Halwa is a dessert made from various kinds of fruits, vegetables, grains and lentils. The ingrdients in Halwa are grated finely and fried in ghee and sugar. Nuts and milk may also be added. Halwas have the consistency of a very thick pudding.




First time I had this halwa when I was visiting my hubby´s auntie in India. She served this halwa as a dessert. Its very tasty and a bit surprised for me to knew that this sweet dish is from carrots.

Here is my carrot ka halwa. I made in a little portion.

2 carrots, grated.
1 cup milk
1 cardamom -crushed
9 tsp sugar
1 tsp butter/oil
Chopped nuts for garnish.

In a pan,pour milk & Carrot. Make them boil then put sugar and cardamom. And stir them,put inside the butter,and keep stirring until milk is dry but not burnt. It takes around 20 minutes.
Transfer to a dish, keep in a fridge. I prefer to have it cold, and put chopped almond,or pistachios while serving.

I dont know deh yang penting sekarang dulu gue nikmatin.. kira-kira kenapa tidak ngembang bener ya? Apa karena yeastnya gue engga campurin ke air dulu ?
