4oz castor sugar

3/5 tin condensed milk

1 cup water

Dry items:

2)      While waiting for the boiled items to cool down, sieve the dry items.

3)      Mix both wet and dry items. Pour in a 8inch tray.

Braided Bread with Potato and Sausage Curry Fillings.

Kums in the house....
It’s good to be back blogging after a long time..
Today I made Braided Bread with Potato and Sausage Curry Fillings.

Never in a million years would I have thought that sausage can be made into curry with potatoes. I was searching for chicken in the fridge tapi tak dapat. So I saw some sausages. Since I wanted to bake so much (terlebih semangat) I decided to use the sausage as the substitute for chicken. And the result was great.. tasted good. If coriander leaves was added the taste would have been better but I used whatever resources I have at home. The braid was not so pretty. First time ma…

It turned out well. Still hot and sitting on the table. Hopefully it will still exist for breakfast tomorrow. Hahaha.. lets take a look at the recipe.

IngrediEnts

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion (diced)
1 carrot ( diced)
2 celery ( chopped) ( i used about a cup of mix vegies)
500g of mince lamb ( i used beef)
2 tbsp of flour
2 cups of beef stock ( i used chicken stock)
1 dried bay leaf ( i omit this)
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ( i dont know how to pronounce this word =D)
1 tbsp tomato paste ( i used tomato sauce)
salt and pepper to taste
chilly powder ( iadded this to the original recipe)

Method


1. Heat the olive oil and add in the chopped onions.
2. Once the onions turn translucent, add in the carrot and celery or whatever u got ( i used mix vegies) and fry them for a few minutes.
3. Then, add in the minced lamb ( or beef or u can even try to use mince chicken) and cook them till they turn brown.
4. Add in the flour. This will help to thicken the sauce later.
5. Pour in the stock followed by the bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste.
6. Cook the lamb (or meat) mixture till thickens.i like to keep mind a little bit watery.
7. Season with salt, peper and chilli powder ( if u like it hot like me!!).
8. Pour into your baking dish.

Mashed Potatoes


Ingredients


800g potatoes (diced)
40g butter ( i used margerine)
1/2 cup warm milk
salt and pepper
Shredded mozarella Cheese

Method

1. Bring the potatoes to boil.
2. Mash them while they are still hot.
3. Pour in the milk bit by bit.
4. Add in the butter. The heat from the hot mashed potatoes will help the butter to melt in the potatoes.
5. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Spoon the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture in the baking dish.
7. Baked in the oven for about 30 min at 175C.
8. Sprinkle shredded mozarella cheese on top of the mashed potatoes.
9. Grill for bout 5min more just to let the cheeses melt.
10. Seve. Walla!!

Bread Making using A BreadMaker

Hola guys n gurls...
I find that blogging wud b a better way to store our recipes... I punya buku recipe looks messy and unorganized.. Hehehe

Well I'm back in baking... Wholemead Bread is baking in my BreadMaker aka BM
After using this BM for a few times and reading lots of blog posts, there are a few things that should be highlighted while using a BM....

1) The first ingredients that should enter a BM is the wet ingredients... water, eggs, milk etc
2) Then add sugar...salt
3) Add all types of flour that u wanna use ( Put the wholemeal flour 1st if using it)
4) Add in yeast, bread improver, bread softener n other ingredients... ( it is important to make sure yeast and sugar,salt &water do not come in touch b4 switching the BM on)
5) After 10 mins running the BM then only add the butter.....

All these steps wud ensure a better bread being made.....
Why I'm writing this here??? So tat I sendiri tak lupa... Hehehe.....
