Fluffy Homemade Sweet Rolls

 
This recipe is adapted from Foodzizzles, click the link here for the recipe.  I did not add any filling.  For serving, I slit the rolls in the center, and spread with butter and our favorite Kaya.  These rolls are so fluffy...

Peach Gum Dessert

 
This Chinese Dessert have always been my favorite.  There is no specific ingredients to use.  I will normally add in whatever available ingredients from my pantry.  This time round, I add in Peach Gum, as I was given some by my sister-in-law.  To be frank, this ingredient is new to me, but thanks to a friend for the tips.  What I need to do is soak the peach gum overnight, and it's all ready for cooking the next day.   Thumbs Up!

This bowl of Dessert comprises of Peach Gum, Gingko Nuts, dried longan, red dates and white fungus.  It's Simple Yet Yummylicious 👍

Sweet Pandan Milk Buns and Bread

Again, something 'green' caught my immediate attention, 'sweet pandan milk buns!'.  After browsing through the recipe, the one ingredient which is new to my buns/bread making is coconut milk.  I replace the pandan extract with pandan paste which is available in my pantry.

Without much ado, I try out a batch of the buns recipe first.  The outcome is incredibly delicious.  Thus, I bake another batch and make it into bread loaf ~ amazingly beautiful ~  This is indeed a keeper recipe, which I will bake from time to time.

Click the link here for the full recipe.

You can choose whether you prefers it in Buns or Bread Loaf.  For me, both are great!!


I would like to share more photos throughout the process of baking these delicious buns and bread.

Cream Cheese Cookies

 
Ingredients:

1/2 cup granulated sugar

114 g. unsalted butter (room temperature)

3 ounces cream cheese (softened)

1 cup plain flour (sifted)

1/2 tsp. salt


Methods:

  1. In a mixer bowl, add cream cheese, sugar and butter. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
  2. Mix in the flour and salt just until incorporated.  Scrape down the bowl with a spatula and give it a quick stir to make sure everything is evenly combined.
  3. Drop the batter by tablespoons onto a lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch apart.  
  4. Bake in a preheated oven of 176 degree Celsius for about 15 minutes, until the edges are lightly brown.  Do not overbake or the cookies won't be chewy.
  5. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.  Store the cookies in an airtight jar or container.
I adapted this recipe from 'FOOD52' with slight adjustment to suit my baking preference.
