Quote you first. :notti: :notti: make it sound like a harem in here

Indeed very nice!!!Wow!she queen i King... :unsure:

we are not couple lei! :D

Too many queen here.. so i got lots of mistress :notti:

I've done both vanilla and chocolate sponge cake. I think the type of flour, temperature and of course the double-action baking powder (big player) plays in the whole thing depending on recipe.

Norm, I use all-purpose flour and sometimes the baking soda/powder or the double baking powder when called for it. I'm thinking of switching to cake flour since cake flour is the best for sponge cakes, genoise and some cookie batters. While self-raising flour or all purpose flour would be best for heavy/rich cakes

The temperature listed in recipes - we can't follow to a T 'cause the problem is the temperature varies with the oven type/brand. Even electrical voltage for appliances overseas differs from here. It will be either too hot or too low even if you're following the temperature in the recipe. I usually drop 10-20 deg off the temperature in the recipes (for american recipes only)

The cup cake did not erupt like volcanos..u didnt put any soda powder ah?Not required? :unsure:

I would like to try sponge cake one day,anyone do before here?

Please teach....

Hi all

here's some of my creations in the past :) Itching to start baking again since I've just moved in. Am thinking pineapple tarts! Yummm (but i've been hearing how tedious it is to make)

The famous Strawberry Jellyheart. This version of mine is SUGAR-FREE! Haha, i'm under strict diet so I whipped up a sugar-free and fat-free version. the only thing that's probably 'fat' in that sense is the base - light digestive and butter :P

I was at chinatown hawker center last weekend and on hearing that there is a stall selling xiao long bao better than ding tai fong,

i went there to Q and purchase 2 crate.While waiting,I saw how they wrap and decide to try my hand on it today :P

First,I prepare the dough-flour+water and make a small round ball out of it

CIMG4143.jpg

Mixed the mince meat and scallion with oyster sauce and a dash of salt together.

I added chinese mushroom today cos I think it would taste nice ;)

CIMG4145.jpg

Flatten the dough and wrap the meat within by pleating it.

Then u are set to steam the xiao long bao

CIMG4146.jpg

There u go~the end result...

hi Devil..the juice not as much as what i tasted outside...Wonder any king/queen can advice here? :rolleyes:

hey,

during a trip to china-shanghai at a xiao long pao restaurant, a chef gave me a tip on how the soup was made inside the "bao".

all the ingredients/stuffs are prepared into a small-size cup, frozen it as ice cube, taken out from the fridge just before it is wrap-up with the flours as "bao", so the "frozen ice ingredients" inside the "bao" will melts during the steaming process and thus becomes soup-like inside of "bao".......of cuz, how to prevent the soup form sipping out of the "bao" ....that is the skill of making the flour......uhmmm... :dunno: .dunno correct boh leh....????..... :D .
