Pandan Chiffon Cake

I had tried few recipe before but turned out not so good. A friend of mine gave me 2 'aluminium mold' medium size ... so trying out with this recipe that i found from youtube... Apron, a very good channel for simple and easy instructions, which turned up to be the best trial I had before.

p/s: This recipe works well, since my 'cake mold' is bigger, I had re-calculate the measurement to cater for bigger mold. The small disposable mold seriously not enough for my 'chiffon cake fans' 's kids   ^_^'




Ingredients:

Instructions:
  1. Get ready for the pandan juice (i am using the ready drops from asian groceries)
  2. Mix the Egg yolk batter

    • Add Caster Sugar ( 1 1/2 tbsp) and mix
    • Add Oil (coconut or etc) 20 ml
    • Add coconut milk 50 ml (~3 tbsp)
    • Add pandan juice 30 ml and mix all
    • Shift 5 tablespoon of cake flour
  3. Egg white batter
    • Electric mixer -> egg white
    • Add cream of tartar 1/8 teaspoon
    • Add caster sugar 5,1/2 tbsp and mix until stiff peaks
  4. Mix some of the Egg white batter into yolk batter
  5. Mix all the yolk batter into the egg white batter
  6. Quick mix and put into oven to bake 150 celcious for 45-50 (bigger portion will be 1 hr)

Pizza base - quick w/o yeast version

COVID-19 Stay at home... Trying to make food with whatever we have... try to reduce the no. of time going out for groceries.. Here found 1 recipe from my friends fb post.

I need to x 2 the ingredient as need to make 2 pizzas to feed the hungry kids :)




DRY INGREDIENTS:
1 1/3 cups bread flour ( x 2 = 2  2/3 cups)
2 tsp baking powder (x2 = 4 tsp)
3/4 tsp salt (x2 = 1  1/2 tsp)
3/4 tsp sugar (x2 1  1/2 tsp)

WET INGREDIENTS:
2 tsp olive oil (x2 = 4 tsp)
1/2 cup water (cold tap water x 2 = 1 cup)

OTHER
1 tbsp Extra Flour , for dusting
2 tsp vegetable oil (optional) , for brushing crust (or canola or other neutral oil) (Note 3)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250°C / 480°F (230°C fan) (Note 4.) Place shelf in the top quarter of the oven.
- Spray pizza pan or baking tray lightly with oil.
- Prepare pizza sauce and toppings. Keep shredded mozzarella in the fridge (Note 5).

Bread Machine
Just put all in and set for Dough function

ROLLING OUT DOUGH:
  1. Dough should be soft and elastic, and not stick to your hands. It will not be completely smooth like yeast dough (video 38 sec)(Note 6).
  2. Shape dough into a ball. Roll out into a 30cm/12" round.
  3. Transfer to pizza pan, preferably with holes (for crispier base), or a baking tray (Note 7 pizza stone). Use your fingers to pull from the centre to fill the pan to the edge - avoid pinching the edges (to ensure puffy crust!).
TOP & BAKE:
  1. Top with 1/4 cup pizza sauce and toppings of choice.
  2. Brush the crust edge (just exposed edge with no toppings on it) with oil.
  3. Bake 12 minutes, until the edges are crispy and golden. Cut and serve immediately!

曼煎糕
材料:
220克面粉 (1.5 cup + 3 tbsp Flour)
1/2茶匙苏打粉 (1/2 tsp Baking powder)
50克糖 (4 tbsp Sugar)
3/4茶匙干酵母 (3/4 tsp yeast)
2粒鸡蛋 (2 eggs)
310毫升水 (310 ml water)

馅料:
120克花生,烤好,去皮及搅碎。(I used ready made peanut powder - not that tasty)
一些幼砂糖
一些cream style 罐头玉米/玉蜀黍
一些牛油

做法:
1. 把面粉过筛入一个大碗 。
2.加入酵母,糖和苏打粉拌均,
3.加入水和鸡蛋,搅拌至所有材料充分混合。用保鲜纸包着让混合物休息30分钟。面糊会在烹煮之前出现一些小泡沫。
4.热平底锅。搽上一层薄薄的牛油(这个步骤只需要做一次)。倒入适量面糊,把表面涂抹平均厚度。盖上锅盖 大约五分钟。当表面出先小洞,表示就快熟透了。这时候可以放入馅料,折半切块,可以上桌了!
