Fusion Pound Cake



Bahan Yang Perlu:
3 cawan tepung cake
6 biji telur besar
1 pound butter
1 pound gula halus
2 sudu teh pure vanilla extract
1/2 sudu teh salt
1/2 cawan buttermilk
1/2 sudu teh baking soda
1 sudu teh baking powder 


Directions:
Sift the flour, baking soda,and baking powder into a large mixing bowl. Stir in salt and the sugar.

I use a large spoon for this. Next I add the butter.
Emak would melt the butter in a pan over slow heat to make it blend easier.
You can do this or just let the butter soften at room temperature.
Add the eggs, whole. At this begin mixing on slow.
I slowly add my buttermilk,and then the vanilla extract.
After it is thoroughly stirred, I turn the mixer up to medium for a few minutes
and then finally on high.
If the mixture is a little thick add just a touch more buttermilk.
If you don't mix things thoroughly you will have lumps that will form air bubbles in your mixture and leave holes in your finished cake.
It was always a matter of pride not to have these air pocket holes in our cakes
so we always made sure we got all of the lumps. In the pre-electric-mixer day that involved a lot of whipping the cake by hand.
Usually didn't have a hand cranked mixer that worked well, so this involved a large mixing spoon to whip it. Some old timers even counted the number of times they whipped the mixture - sort of made it fun and you didn't notice your arm tiring.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Take your standard tube cake pan and oil it with butter. Then lightly flour the oiled pan.

Shake the excess flour from the pan.
Pour the mix in, bake the cake for about 1 hour and twenty minutes.

Keep looking at how your cake is doing through the oven door but avoid opening the door too much while it is cooking as I have seen this, or jarring a cake, cause it to collapse.
When you think it is done, do the toothpick test.
Stick a wooden toothpick into one of the thickest parts of the cake.

If it's dry when you pull it our, the cake is done.
Allow the cake to cool 15 or 20 minutes in the pan.

Then gently remove it, and stick it on your favorite decorative cake plate. 
 

Onion Rings

Ingredients:
2 large yellow onions atau bawang besar jenis lain, peeled, sliced into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch thick ringed slices, rings separated
2 cups buttermilk, or 1 cup plain yogurt mixed with 1 cup milk
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup cornmeal OR
1 cup prepared breadcrumbs plus 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 or 3 cups of high smoke-point oil such as canola oil or peanut oil atau minyak sawit
Method:
1. Combine the buttermilk (or yogurt and milk) with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Add the onions to the buttermilk mixture and coat thoroughly. Let sit at least 15 minutes.

2. In a separate bowl combine the flour and cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Set aside.

 
3. Add the oil to a pan . Use more oil if necessary. Heat the oil to 350°F. Be very careful whenever handling hot oil. No running kids in the kitchen. No distractions. Do not answer the phone if it rings. Pay attention. You can test if the oil is ready by moistening a little bit of the flour and dropping it in the pan. If it sizzles and fries, it's ready. 

 
4. Working in batches, lift some onion rings out of the buttermilk and coat them in the flour mixture. Use tongs to place them one by one in the hot oil. Fry for a minute on each side, until golden brown. Do not crowd them. Place finished onion rings on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil. Keep the complete onion rings warm in a 200°F oven while you fry the rest. Between batches, if you end up needing more oil, add some. Let the temp get back up to 350°F before starting the next batch.
Serve hot.

Open Tart Nenas

Bahan-Bahan:
280g m tepung gandum
20gm  tepung custard 
25gm gula icing 
1/4 teaspoon garam
100g butter
100g minyak sapi
1 kuning telur, pukul sedikit


1 egg yolk dipukul dengan 1 sudu teh putih telur ~ untuk sapu


Pasteri Tat
  Sift flour, custard powder, icing sugar and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add cubed butter andghee and rub into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  Mix in egg yolk and knead lightly to form a smooth dough. If it is still too dry and crumbly, add one to two teaspoon(s) water to it. Cover the dough with cling film and rest for 20-30 minutes, put into the refrigerator in hot weather.
  Preheat oven to 170-180°C.   
  Roll out the dough to 5mm thick.  Use a 5cm (or a slightly smaller cutter if preferred) fluted biscuit cutter to cut out rounds of pastry. Repeat with any scraps from the pastry and reserve a small amount to make pastry strips for decoration later. Place the pastry rounds on lined or greased baking sheets. Use a pair of tweezers, dip in flour first, to lightly pinch/jab the edges of the pastry rounds as decoration.
  Brush the pastry rounds with egg wash. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pastry rounds are just lightly golden brown. Remove from oven. 
  (Jangan risau if the indentations have puffed up as that does not affect the filling later on.)

Langkah Untuk Letak Jem:
   Fill the pineapple jam (if it is soft enough for piping) into a piping bag fitted with a 1cm round nozzle. Pipe a small blob in the indentation of each partially baked tart. With wet finger, lightly press to neaten the filling if necessary. (If  using firmer pineapple jam, just pinch into small balls. Lightly flatten each ball to fit into the indentation of each tart.)
   Roll out the reserved pastry thinly and cut into strips about 3cm long. Place two strips crosswise on top of the filling on each tart. 
   Carefully brush the filling and the strips with egg wash. Return to oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the tart edges are golden brown.
   Let cool on wire rack before storing in airtight containers; separate each  layer with baking paper to prevent them from sticking to each other. Simpan dalan bekas kedap udara.

Hot Spicy Shrimp

This dish is to be eaten spicy hot, If your taste buds are not used to the fiery heat, then by all means feel free to adjust the seasonings to your personal preference. Pedas lagi sedap, .cuba kalau nak tau.





Ingredients:
500 gm udang (peeled, de-veined, tail-on) 4 biji bawang merah , thinly sliced 3 ullas bawang putih , finely minced 5 cili padi, slit in half lengthwise, to taste

2 each cili merah & hijau, slice thinly
1 inci halia, peeled and finely minced
1 sudu makan pes asam jawa
1 biji tomato sedang, finely diced
1 sudu makan serbuk ketumbar

1 sudu teh serbuk jintan putih
1 sudu teh serbuk kunyit
garam & lada hitam, to taste
½ biji jus limau nipis
1 ikat kuci

2 tangkai daum kesum
Minyak masak
Beberapa tiitik minyak bijan (optional)

METHOD:
If you are using shrimp, scallops or seafood: wash, trim and prepare the seafood as needed. Sprinkle with a little salt & pepper, set aside until necessary. If you are using vegetables: wash, trim and prepare the veggies as needed. Sprinkle with a little salt & pepper, set aside until necessary.


In a large deep wok on high heat add a tbsp or so of the oil. When hot, quickly sear the shrimp on both sides for just a minute or two until lightly browned. They don’t need to be fully cooked at this point, just flash fried. This may need to be done in batches, set aside until needed.

Now reduce the heat to medium high and add a little oil to the wok if needed. Add the shallots, ginger, garlic and chillies. Stir fry for a few minutes until fragrant and aromatic. Next, add the spices (salt, pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric). Stir fry for a few minutes, allowing the spices to cook and lose their “raw” taste. Now, add the tomatoes and tamarind (either paste, concentrate or powder). Stir fry and let cook for 4-5 minutes. This dish is not really a curry, it is more like a stir fry but if you prefer a little sauce --- feel free to add a cup or so of water (you can also use stock if you have it on hand).

At this point, you can return the shrimp (or whatever seafood or vegetables of your choosing) to the wok. Stir fry for a few more minutes and then finish the dish by adding the lime juice, toasted sesame oil and the herbs (basil & chives). Stir to combine all of the ingredients and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves and serve with rice.

How to Make Tomato Sauce

1. Mayang 6 ulas bawang putih, potong aja macam mana pun.
2. Belah empat 450 gm plum tomatoes yang masak jangan buang apa-apa.
3. Tuang 150gm minyak zaitun dan periuk.

4. Panaskan minyak tu jangan terlalu panas sehingga berasap.
5. Masukkan bawang putih dan masak 2-3 m
init .
6. Masukkan tomato dan hancurkan dengan penekan ubi.
7. Besarkan api dan masak 8 minit, jika tomato mula melompat tutup dan
pelahankan api.
8. Ambil 12 batang daun basli segar dan ½ sudu the garam dan sedikit
serbuk lada hitam mengikut citarasa sendiri. Salt is important because it diminishes your brain's ability to sense
bitterness and tomatoes, no matter how good they are, always have bitter alkaloids that become concentrated during cooking.9. Padamkan api angkat periuk dan masukkan immersion blender dan putar. Kalau tak ada tu sejukkan sos ke suhu bilik pastu masukkan ke dalam blender biasa.
10. Puree sos sehingga warna jadi oren terang maka siaplah.
