Marathon???

Yeah.....defintely its not the marathon I'm referring to. Don't think I'm fit to go for it either. Well, I started the day making jelly barbie doll followed by Quiche and then Pizza. As if I'm preparing for some event. Nope.....I'm just trying to finish not all but most of the ingredients in the fridge. Its tiring but yet fulfilling cos the rascals enjoyed eating it.


Jelly barbie doll. Thanks Sherynn for the mould.

Ham & Mushroom Quiche. This time round, I stick to Richard's recipe for the pastry and uses the filling recipe from a fellow blogger Bake 4 fun . Thanks Esther for her recipe. At least I can eat with less guilt cos it uses only 2 eggs.



Last but not least Pizza. I follow the dough recipe from 孟老师的100道面包. Yum Yum!

Steamed Marble Cake

Finally decided to use my left over egg whites to steam this Marble cake. It tastes much like '鸡蛋糕' but its not really fluffy as you can see from the pic. Look compact right? Surprisingly the rascals like it. Maybe they are hungry haha.....

Steamed Marble Cake (Recipe from Cake in steam)
I used a 7' round mould

Ingredients
Set (A)
10gm cocoa powder
7gm water
2gm baking powder

Set (B)
190gm sugar (I reduce to 125gm. Can increase bit more)
230gm egg white
8gm ovelette ( I omit this)

Set (C)
285gm cake flour (I used 250gm plain flour + 35gm corn flour)
2gm salt

Set (D)
70gm fresh milk (I used a tsp of milk powder with 65gm water)
20gm olive oil ( I used corn oil)

Method
1) Mix (A) and set aside ( I sieve the BP with the flour in [C] )
2) Whisk (B) until 70% light and fluffy , then add ovelette and whisk for another 1min
3) Sieve (C) and add in (2) and mix well lightly
4) Mix (D) into some of (3). Once well mix pour into balance of (3) and mix well
5) Remove 50gm of (4) and mix well with (1)
6) Pour remaining (4) into a grease baking mould with base lined with baking paper and pour (5) onto the top. Stir lightly 2-3 times (Do not overmix the batter too evenly in order to have the marble effect)
7) Steam over a preheat steamer at high heat for 10mins then turn into low heat for another 35mins

Ham & Mushroom Quiche


Have 3 boxes of dairy whipping cream left in the fridge. Hence decided to make quiche. Morning bought all the ingredients including the Edam cheese from Giant. Took out Richard's recipe book and realised recipe call for 6 eggs yolks. I think its too much so I reduce it to 5 nos. Anyway got to improve on the rolling of pastry cos during the baking process. I noticed the pastry sought of shrink. Not sure what steps I have miss out.
Now am left with 5 egg whites. Cracking my head what to do with this? Zebra cake? Macarons......

Mango, Green Tea, Chocolate mooncake


Yes mooncake again. This batch took me about an hour to complete before I left for work today. For skin, I use mango puree to give the yellow colour and added drops of mango paste. I like the soothing yellow color and goes well with Pooh mould. The filling is green tea + Chocolate. I still have a box of strawberry in the fridge but my HK mould is with my sister so got to kiv my project. Gave all to my colleague and hope they like it.
