The Cookie Book August 17, 2008

Recently I bought a book on cookie. It cost $16.90 from Popular. Quite worth it as it is very thick just like a bible. A1 has already placed this order for the cookie for me to try it out. Let’s see when will it be as I have quite a number of things in my mind to try it out.

Marbled Chocolate Cupcakes August 17, 2008

Don’t know where go wrong. Some of the cupcakes are fully cooked whereas the rest are not cooked at the bottom. The top of cupcakes are nice to eat but the bottom has to take a risk to see whether it is cooked. I don’t think I will bring to the office and offer them. I will try again but not next week.

Ingredients

175g soft margarine (I use butter, maybe this is the problem)

175g caster sugar

3 eggs

175g self-raising flour

2 tbsp milk (use fresh milk)

55g plain chocolate, melted

Method

1. Put the margarine, sugar, eggs, flour and milk in a large bowl and using the electric hand whisk, beat together until just smooth.
2. Divide the mixture between 2 bowls. Add the melted chocolate to one bowl and stir together until well mixed. Using a teaspoon and alternation the chocolate mixture with the plain mixture.
3. Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven, 180 degrees C for 20 min or until well risen. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Pizza August 17, 2008

Can you tell which part is cheese?

This pizza is with pepperoni.

Since I am on leave today, I make a pizza for 3 of us for lunch. This is big pizza and I put half cheese and half pepperoni. A1 prefers cheese and A2 likes pepperoni. I manage to make the pizza thin only the centre but the edge. It looks quite thick. I will try it again as A1 prefers small individual pizza. You can refer to my previous blog on pizza cust.
