One a Penny, Two a Penny...

One a penny, Two a penny, hot cross bun....... this, I wanted to do a long time, never came to do it, even though I have recipes...

Decide to do today, went to buy bread flour from my place area, went to 2 supermarkets, surprising no bread flour on the shelves, luckily went to the 3rd one, manage to get but not golden syrup.. hmmm... did all the bakers going for the same thing?

One thing sbout hot cross bun and stollen, they have almost the same thing, spices and fruits. My husband never did like cinnamon, but I like and I was wondering why he like indian food so much where else the spices are stronger... weird person.

Just now, went to distribute baked bread to my neighbours, hope they like it...

A Happy Easter Day and God Bless.

Trying to Remember???

After flicking my old jotter book which is over 20 years old, came across my auntie recipe on pandan chiffon cake, which I have written down. I remember that I have loved her chiffon.

One thing is that, at that time, when I wrote the recipe, I was not keen in baking, just out of curiosity and the notes jotted are not proper. 50 cents coconut in some 20 years back and now 50 cents coconut are different. Headache!!! :( how much to use, cake flour is what flour during that time.. chez.. called my auntie, said she long time never bake and forgot most of the things....



Anyway, I tried the recipe, and this is how it's turn out, don't mind about
the tears on the chiffon, I was using different knifes to remove. For this chiffon, I got a lot of holes "compression" on the side and internally there's is big gaps, don't know what happen, don't know whether it's the way, I pour in the batter.

The outcome, feedback that the chiffon is very soft, got pandan smell but got no pandan taste, can taste the coconut. Will try again, and this time, I am going to put in some pandan essence.
