Sweets & Savouries

2 other items I've tried baking - Oreo cheesecake and egg tarts.

Adri was supposed to help in the Oreo Cheesecake but it ended up a DIY. It took me pretty long to sort out the proportions! Now that I've managed to figure things out, I shall venture into other varieties of cheesecake soon! Say, strawberry cheesecake? Adri will be my co-chef!

The egg tarts was my longest baking session thus far, it took me more than 2 hours! But well, that was cos mummy did the dough twice. In the first, I mixed the batter with the use of a handheld electric mixer instead of kneading it into a dough and as a result, the dough was too slimy and it broke into bits readily. The moulding of the crust also took quite a while. I started with a cookie cutter for the right thickness but eventually decided on a shortcut ie to simply mould from a round ball of dough (and hence the uneven crust thickness).
Hubby loves egg tarts but it'll take me a while before I try that again. Cuppies r lots manageable for now! :)

Milk Tea Cuppies

I'm into baking recently. I find it an activity that is manageable, therapeutic and satisfying and most importantly, a window of opportunity for further bonding activities with my girls.

Mummy adapted the Earl Grey Milk Tea cupcakes recipe and with Adri's help, we baked our version of the Milk tea cuppies last Sunday (29 May)!

Mummy is extremely glad to have involved Adri in the baking process. Unlike the previous round where she observed and had fun decorating the end product, this time round, Adri helped to sieve the flour, mix the batter and arrange the cups! She had even ingeniously suggested adding choc chips into the plain milk tea cuppies for an added variety that lil kiddos may prefer!

Adri sure had fun! Mummy? Without a doubt! :D
