鸡蛋糕 - Chinese Traditional Cake




This recipe is so simple BUT... personally, I feel that it was a bit dry.
As you can see from the photos (except the lighting), the look & texture was perfect!

I will try out another recipe that use only a small bowl as measurement, let's see how it turns out ^.^

Dang dang dang dang.... here come another recipe:


Taste-wise, I prefer this as not as dry as the previous one. Amazingly, this recipe only require: 1 bowl of flour, 1 bowl of eggs and 1 bowl of sugar ^.^

Buttermilk Pancakes


Nice & spongy pancakes!

Wow, this is really spongy and taste just nice! Very simple recipe and with my daughter's favorite chocolate chips, it certainly the best choice for breakfast or tea break ^.^

I better write down the recipe here so that it can be referred easily:

Ingredients:
# 240g self-rising flour* + 1/4 tsp baking soda --> sift in a bowl
@ 1/4 tsp salt
@ 50g sugar*
@ 375ml buttermilk* (1ml = 1g)
@ 2 eggs* lightly beaten
@ 4 tbsp corn oil/canola oil/sunflower oil*
@ 1/2 vanilla essence

Steps:
1. Add all @ ingredients into # and stir still smooth.
2. Use a 1/3 cup (greased with butter so that batter will not stick on cup while pouring to pan for baking, optional) to scoop the batter and pour on pan.
3. You may put your favorite chocolate chips on top of the batter.
4. DO NOT press the pancake, just wait patiently till you see air-bubbles popping out on the surface.
5. Flip the pancake and cook for a little while (around 40sec - 1mins).
6. Please adjust the heat accordingly ^.^

Half the ingredients marked * if you just want to make 6-8 8cm pancakes
