我家人都很喜欢这凉拌,但还是第一次自己做。

Chocolate Chip Cookies



喜欢chocolate chip cookies这食谱一定要试。
烘烤之后一天,这饼干更入味。
买不到咖啡油,只能用咖啡精替代。

说真的,加了咖啡味的cookies 自然少了一般香奶味的chocolate chips cookies, 这却多了像famous Amous口感的cookies。
这好不好吃,真的不需要太多的外在装饰,真的好吃。
如果豆类换上pecan 或 macadamia,一定更美味。

Preparation : 15 minutes(creaming method)
Resting : 30min in fridge
Forming : 5 minutes(use spoon to combine)
Baking : 170c, 15 min (i prefer crunchy, if chewy 10min will do)

食谱步骤参考这里

Ingredients

(a)
250g salted butter, room temperature
200g light brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt

(b)
1/2 tsp coffee oil *i use 1/4 coffee flavour
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup of favourite nuts - i use almond sticks
1 pack of Hersheys Chocolate Chips

Chickey Cookies 鸡仔饼

我在多年前丢失了鸡仔饼食谱,怎么找都找不会同样的食谱。
是时间抹去了那多年前的味道,还是真的还是旧的美好。
这食谱,接近当年的味道。
虽然,还是少了当年的味道。

食谱参考

Ingredients:

(a)450 gms flour
1/2 tsp Black Pepper Powder 1 tsp Baking Powder (double Acting)
1/2 tsp soda bicarbohidrat

(b)
1 egg
100 gms Sugar
1 tbsp Dark Soy Sauce
1 tbsp maltose * 2tbsp
1/2 tsp Chinese Five Spices (i changed to 1 tsp)2 pieces of Chinese fermented tofu (Nam Yu/南乳)* i changed to 3 pcs
1/2 tsp Salt * 1tsp

(c)
200 gms of winter melon candy *i changed to 300gm
100 gms of sesame (i use only white sesame)
3-4 Cloves of Garlic(around 15-20gm)

(d)
250 gms Vegetable oil


我和母亲讨论了许久,想想除了五香粉可能是最大可能导致味道不够味。
再来之前的食谱没加soda bicarbohidrat 似乎少了该有的酥脆口感,或许我的口味比较重,更改后的味道比较适合我家人咯。

*如果不够咸,要加重口味加盐较好,太多soy sauce会导致烘烤时容易烧焦。

1. Sift ingredient (a) put aside.
2. (b) mixed until well incorporated, add in (c).
3. mixed (2) + (d), added all sifted flour.
4. leave in fridge rest for half an hour.
5. use baking sheet make a thin layer, bake with 170c for 10-15 min.

Green Peas Cookies 绿豆饼



时常傻乎乎试了一些食谱才知道根本行不通。
绿豆饼食谱很多Blogger推荐极为简易的食谱,但出来的味道还是家家不一样。

买的绿豆粉,有些已经带有盐味,而有些则带甜, 而从中要学会如何在食谱更改些,原来还有很多小细节有待发现。真的很多要学习的地方。

食谱参考 Tested & Tasted

Hokkaido Cupcake北海道杯子蛋糕




没什么研究Hokkaido Cupcake,但一般的和RT Bakery似乎有强烈的对比。
RT 的好软好滑,密近鸡蛋糕但好软。其他我试过的像一般的威风蛋糕。
第一次的成品,好看不好吃。粉加入时过多的搅拌,导致蛋糕粗糙,下一次加油咯。

食谱制作步骤参考:

步骤参考:


Orange Chiffon Cake 烫面橙味戚风蛋糕‏



没有放防腐剂的威风蛋糕可以放置多久?
我的最多只能放两天,有谁可以让我知道到底那里出了错。
还是汤面寿命就那么短。


食谱步骤参考这里
准备时间 :30分钟
烘烤:160c, 45-50min
Mould : best in 20cm Chiffon cake Mould, i am using bigger mould
参考食谱 : 已经忘了从那得到这食谱,通常微风蛋糕我都会参考Kitchen's 70 。


(A) Wet Ingredient
butter/cooking/canola/corn oil - 40g
orange juice + zest - 75g
糖 10g
(B) Dry Ingredient
cake flour - 90g

(C)
蛋黄- 5粒

(D)
蛋白- 5粒
cream of tartar 少许
castor sugar - 45g-60g (divide 3 times)

Steps :
1. 将湿的材料(A)过热,在不太烫手时加入粉原料(B)。在不烫手时快速搅拌蛋黄(C)就好。
2. [D] - Egg white 干性打发, 1/3 C 加入(1)。再把搅拌好的部分倒入剩余的蛋白糊。

同样食谱,水分和水分代替,油汁换上椰浆,就可以做香兰橙味戚风蛋糕‏ 。

香兰戚风蛋糕‏

5个 蛋黄
70g 浓椰浆
40g 浓缩橙汁 > 香兰汁
50g 牛油
90g 自发粉 > 底粉 Low Protein Flour
5个 蛋白
80g 糖
1 tsp 柠檬汁/Cream of Tartar

旺来凤梨酥

愿你年年旺来


习惯在厨房里忙,感觉比较有新年那分期待的感觉。
如果不是因为喜欢烘焙,我想好多人可忍受不了在没风扇的地方呆一整个晚上。
我喜欢看到每一次用心后的一点点成长,然后在下一次努力时又进步一点点。
因为那一点点的鼓励,让我不断的学习,就算失败了很多次。

很多事情,用心做时,那分满足感就会被填满,就算不是最好的。
这是我在被家人白眼多次以后,终于了解他们只要最普通而不带奶酥味的凤梨酥。
父亲说,终于像样了些。
之前那些既昂贵又难得的奶香味,在他们的胃口似乎太油腻了些。
虽然自己很喜欢Wendy的食谱,今年还是跟从大众口味。 

步骤参考有两种,Creaming MethodRubbing In Method
食谱很多,其中比较我参考比较多的如下,
Wendy - This is the bestever for heavy cream/cheese lovers
Preparation: 
Batter: 15min 
Rest: 30 min(Fridge)
Forming: 15-20min
Oven: 160-170c;12-15min

Pineapple paste :
1kg ready pack
Ingredient:
(a)
250gm butter(Room temperature)
50gm icing sugar

(b)
1 egg yolk
*1/2 tsp vanilla Essence(i added)

(c)
2 Tbsp custard powder
280gm plain flour
80gm corn flour

Topping
1 egg slightly beaten + 1tbsp milk
*egg yolk coloring(i omitted since my family don't like this)

还是没信心在太早准备新年饼自己准备馅,馅是先买的。
我先把黄梨馅搓成圆型,每粒重约5gm。
为了符合家人不喜欢重奶味口感,我这次采用Christine 食谱但采用Rubbing In Method。
带有Corn Flour 和Custard Powder入口即化又不太重奶味的成果还是家人较喜欢的。

1. Sieve ingredient (c) in mixing bowl and leave aside.
2. Rub in ingredient (a) using finger for less than 10min until well incorporated(it will look like in pieces form).
3. add in egg yolk to (2) to form a dough.
4. let the dough rest in fridge for at least half an hour.
5. use the cutter to form 2 inches form in the pineapple paste.
6. apply topping before ready to bake.
6. preheat oven 160c and bake around 10-12 min. Let the cookies cold and ready to keep in air-tight container or cookies bottle.

杏仁脆片饼


买不到杏仁搅拌粉,而杏仁又买了, 就只好找新食谱。
去年表姐买了这饼干送我们,不到半天我们就吃光了。

 
这几天试了再试的经历让我的味觉好麻木,已经不知道还是不是我要的那味道。
为了之前急速提升的体重开时减食减重,但还是停不了烘焙的瘾。
只能留到新年让亲戚家人给与提升的建议咯。

 
食谱看似很长,但不难做。
只需要一点耐心和时间。
当然,这食谱会少许甜,但对不爱奶味的老人家很讨好哦。

第二次的改良食谱

Cotton Cheese Cake日式輕乳酪蛋糕


食谱源于:周老師的美食教室


参考:
1.  Carol
3. Forbidden Garden (with video)
5. Forbidden

烤盘:
9x9 方形烤盘
5x5 圆心烤盘


成果:
由于周老師 的食谱较为少芝士,味道不太重。
比较倾向润湿的Sponge Cake。很适合不太爱芝士味的老人家。
