DESSERT: Pineapple Tart and Soft Banana Cookies

ASSALAMUALAIKUM..

hey o hey o... All this while, when it comes to desserts, I prefer making those which do not need any baking. Why? The truth is, I NEVER tried baking. surprised? Indeed, I had never tried baking, at all. But, I guess I've reached the stage where baking should no longer be a great fear. HAHA.So, today I would like to share a recipe. Actually, for both Pineapple tart and Soft Banana Cookies, they use the same dough. So, today's recipe will enable you to create any sort of cookie of your preferences using the same dough. :) It's up to your creativity to try and error. 

INGREDIENTS:

soft butter -I used buttercup- (1 whole cube )

a pinch of salt

2 pinches of granulated sugar

2 tbsp of custard flour

500 g of plain flour -I used cap sauh-

1 tbsp of corn starch

hard boiled egg (just take the yellow part)

an egg (whisk it) -to be brushed on the surface of the shaped dough before bake-

HOW TO MAKE THE DOUGH:

1. Add in all the ingredients and knead 'em thoroughly by hand. 

2. shape it into balls 

3.put any fillings or toppings you like

4.bake at 180 degree celcius for 6-8 minutes or until it is done. or simply use the automatic cookies button if your microwave happens to have got it (20 minutes)

yeah~that's it.

Now..it depends on you what sort of filling or toppings you want to have. You can put any jam you want, like me, I put pineapple jam topping. tadaa~ you got pineapple tart. yeah, you can use the mould to make kuih semprit to get the normal shape of pineapple tart. as for me, simplicity is always the best. godek bulat2, leperkan and simply place the jam on top of the dough. done!

pineapple tart

1. I used my dad's home made pineapple jam. you can simply get the ready made one at any store.

2.place it on top of the dough,

3. brush the whisked egg on the surface of dough

4. bake!

soft banana cookies

1. cut the banana to small wedges or any shape that could fit in the balled dough.

2.roll 'em carefully and shape it into any shape you like.

3. drizzle chocolate sauce on top of it

4.sprinkle 2 pinches of crushed crackers on top of  it

5. brush the surface with whisked egg

LAUK:ayam bakar special

ASSALAMUALAIKUM...

As I promised you earlier on, this is another dish prepared during the BBQ night my classmates and I had last Tuesday's night. Why not you try it yourself this time around. Probably, this can be your next activity with family and friends, aite? Anyways, I am bad in measurement. I usually apply the ''campak-campak' technique, meaning that I just simply put the ingredients in, without any rigid measurement. HAHA. so..for this recipe, I'll just list out the ingredients you need.  It is purely up to you to decide on how much you should put in those ingredients needed. Probably, it depends on how many people you want to feed for, okay? :)

Ingredients:

1. chicken (any part will do. We took the drumsticks and wings and few breasts), you can even grill the sausages with this marinade.

2.  shallots/onions

3. garlic

4. tumeric powder

5. galangal (lengkuas)

6. ginger

7. spices (jintan manis, jintan putih, biji ketumbar) -use the packet ones, better than using the powder ones-

8. lemon grass

9. brown sugar

10. bird eye's chillies (cili api) -optional-

11. salt

12. water (to blend the ingredients)

13. oil + few stalks of lemongrass which the tips have been smashed

How to Make it?

1. clean the chickens thoroughly. You might want to get rid of the bad smell with lime.

 2. blend ingredients 2-12 

3. Pour out the blended ingredients on the chicken. marinate them as long as you want., The best would be a night.

4. Heat up your grill

5. grill 'em until they are well cooked (30-45 minutes) -depending on the size of the chicken-

6. while grilling, drizzle the chicken with ingredient no. 13 (like those pakcik sate do :) ) 

gebu gilerr kan?

DESSERT:cream cheesy chocolate truffle

ASSALAMUALAIKUM...

CAUTION! This is not a must-go-for recipe for those who are on a diet. LOL. 

My exam is nearing. I seriously had no mood to study. Frequent hunger drives me crazy like...argh!!!!!! so, to the kitchen I went. Anyways, this can be a good gift for your friends or even your loved ones you know? by spending less than RM40, you can feed many mouths with this. fact about me: I DON'T REALLY EAT SWEET STUFFS. but why did I make this dessert? BOREDOM. yeah..I'm weird. Now, let us start!

Ingredients:

1. oreo biscuit (3 packets) -I removed the cream because I dont like it to be too sweet-

2.  250 gram of cream cheese (of any brand)

3. cooking chocolate (better to choose semi sweet or dark chocolate)

4. cocoa powder/nuts/chocolate rice/white chocolate (any topping u like)

here are some of the ingredients (forgive me for not taking all the ingredients' photos)

crushed oreo (remove the cream if u dont like it to be too sweet)

cream cheese

How to Make? 

1.  Place the biscuits in a plastic, crushed it by using..urm..anything. lesung batu also can. LOL

2.  place the crushed oreo in a container

lagi hancur lagi bagus

3. In the meantime, melt the chocolate using double boiling technique/place it into the microwave.

double boiling is a technique where you place a bowl/container that can absorb heat easily on top of a pot containing the super hot water. like this....

let it stay on the pot to prevent the chocolate from coagulating

now...get back to the dough..

 5. Put in the cream cheese

 

 6. knead the mixture of the crushed oreo and cream cheese thoroughly. uli jangan tak uli.

7. place it into the fridge for about 25-30 minutes

8. remove it from the fridge and shape it into balls

macam ma'jun, eh? LOL

9. put in the fridge for 10 minutes

10. take it out from the fridge. 

11. prepare on the table these things

that cocoa powder is optional. You can opt for nuts/chocolate rice/any topping u prefer

now is the fun part.

12. cover the oreo balls with the melted chocolate like this

13. cover it with cocoa powder after that

14. place it in a container or a tray and keep in the fridge to let the chocolate cover hardened

probably keep 'em for 10- 20 minutes

finally...eat 'em!

it is hard outside but soft, creamy and sweet inside!

TRY IT!  :)
