:: choc chip muffin ::



ingredients:-

400g of flour
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
200 g castor sugar
2 large eggs
300 ml milk
110g melted butter
choc chip (dusted with flour)
dusted crushed walnuts (any nuts would do, or just omit the nuts if u hate it)

method

1. preheat oven to 200deg
2. sift flour + salt + baking powder.
3. in a different container, mix milk + cooled melted butter + eggs.
4. pour mixture no. 3 into the sifted flour. mix just until all the flour is wet. (important not to overmix. overmixing will result in smooth surface which is cakey like, not muffin! good muffin should have cracks on top)
5. mix in the dusted choc chips and walnuts (dusted to avoid settlement - macam engineering laks)
6. divide the batter into muffin cups. bake at 180 deg for 25-35 mins. make 12-14 cups of muffin, depending on cup size.

isn’t easy?? try la.. kalau i boleh buat, you all sure boleh

ps : lama dah i try buat muffin nih, siap terpaksa godek former blog nak cari balik recipe.. gambar nih pun gambar lama. sila abaikan tarikh itu. :P

1 camca besar cili kisar

2 camca besar sos tomato
1 1/2 camca besar sos cili
1 camca besar kicap cair

Cara Memasak:-
1. Lumur ikan yang telah dicuci bersih dengan serbuk kunyit dan garam dan salutkan dengan tepung jagung. Goreng hingga garing. Angkat dan ketepikan.
2. Dalam kuali yang sama, ceduk keluar minyak dan tinggalkan kurang lebih 3 camca besar.
3. Masukkan bahan-bahan tumis dan goreng hingga garing.
4. Kemudian masukkan bahan sos kecuali kicap cair. Gaul hingga rata.
5. Masukkan semua jenis sayuran dan masak 2 - 3 minit.

:: my very first entry ::

i've been itching to start a blog on food. pretty much, i am a real beginner in cooking.

i'll try to put up as much entry as possible like my other blog. hope this entries (macam la pandai sangat pun) would help many others outside to just put their sleeves up and start cooking though u don't even know what tumis means! (somebody's gonna kill me for this statement. muahaha)

enjoy!
