Here comes Churros...

My Churros

I have been longing to try the churros. Alhamdulillah, with Atikah's (my eldest) help, I finally had the opportunity to make it in our home kitchen. The process was pretty simple. With a simple instruction, Atikah managed to do it on her own.

Here come the c&p recipe that I used. Its taken from the Allrecipe website. It is such a help.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup water

2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 quarts oil for frying

1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1.	In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
2.	Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe strips of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
3.	Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained churros in cinnamon and sugar mixture.

However, I made some adjustment to it. We reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 for each batch. And we did not roll the fried churros into the cinnamon and sugar mixture. However, I prepared the butterscotch sauce as a dip. And instead of transferring it into a piping back, I let the dough slightly warm and form the churros using my hand and use a fork to create the effect. Extra work but worth doing when you get what you want.

The butterscotch sauce:

25g butter

1 cup of brown sugar

1 cup of milk

Heat the saucepan. Melt the butter and sugar.

Then, add the milk.

The mixture might turn to solid form when milk is added. Keep on stirring until it dissolve.

It's delicious and worth making. I made it two days in a row.

Wassalam.

Kebab

Good morning!!!! Let's make a different today. (At least for my kitchen). Done with cereals, nasi lemak, lempeng or mee goreng, lets have something different this morning. Considering the kids only had something light for their dinner last nite, I resort to making an instant kebab!! Mmmm .... Amacam? Terliur tak? Well, very easy to prepare. I used all the instant ingredients. Onion - diced Ayamas Chicken burger - suitable for grilling, defrost and sliced (do not take too long to defrost it as it is difficult to slice it later) Olive - sliced Tomato - diced Olive oil Oppss... don't forget the bread - I use Gardenia's rolls. 1. Heat the pan with olive oil. 2. Fry the sliced chicken burger till cooked. 3. Add onion, tomato and olive. 4. Add seasonings - salt & pepper. 5. Cut the roll in the center vertically, but do not separate it. Apply butter onto it. 4. Toast it over the burning stove for a while (to replace charcoal burn). 5. Stuffed the chicken burger. 6. Garnish wit...

Asam Pedas Keladi

'Asam Pedas Keladi' or 'Spicy & Sour Yam Soup' is one of our favourite. Atikah likes it most. It's a kind of traditional dish and can be categorized as vegetables. We can eat both it's rhizome and it's stalk. The rhizome is delicious to be made into 'pengat' - a dessert which consist of coconut milk and sugar as the sauce and the rhizome that has been boiled. Or you can also have a fritter out of the rhizome. For the stalk, we can turn it into a spicy soup. But! be careful with the resin. It might ruin your clothes if in contact. A search in the internet found me with this interesting health facts about yam. Yams provide a very good source of potassium and fiber. They also offer a good source of vitamins B1, B6 and C. In addition, yams are a good source of manganese and carbohydrates. They contain large amounts of B6, which required by the liver, and also contain folic acid and other B vitamins which help to detoxify excess estrogen. This action ...

Cheese Cake

Tak sangka sungguh nak buat cheese cake ni. It came from K.Yan. She was telling how Sarah made cheese cake at Mak Long's house, and it excites me. I decided to make one. Luckily, hubby is so supportive to assist me in finding the ingredients (even though he doesnt like cheese). The ingredient: Philadelphia Cream Cheese Digestive Biscuit (for the base) Butter (leave at room temperature) 2 eggs Whipping cream Evaporated Milk to taste. (no exact measurement was given, as k.yan practically taste it before baking ;-)) Steps: 1. Blend the biscuits into crumbs. 2. Mix it with butter. Just enough butter is required to wet the biscuit. 3. Press onto a baking tray to form a base for the cheese cake. 4. Whip the cream cheese in the mixer till doubled. 5. Add whip cream, evaporated milk and eggs. 6. Pour onto the base. Bake in the oven. But .... as my microwave was malfunctioning, we opt to steam it and the result was superb and in fact better (according to kak yan la ...).
