Vanilla Beans

Heyya followers,

On this lovely day, I would like to share some secret on Vanilla Beans. Have you ever watched the cooking show like 'Sugar' by Anna Olson or 'Oliver Twist ' by our talented Jamie Oliver? They always use the real vanilla beans to make desserts or dishes taste DIVINE... From my experiences, they proved it without any single doubt. I'm pretty sure nothing can't beat this guy :p

Usually you just need to get the cured vanilla pod/stick.(you can get it from the baking stores) Grab a knife and cut it through along the vanilla stick. You need to split up the edges and scrape out the beans using the tip of your sharp knife. That's it! Easy beezy!

You may use this as the flavour to make vanilla ice cream, choc chips and any desserts which requires vanilla extract. Just replace it with this magical beans, you'll be satisfied once tasting the end result. It's unbelievable!

So, SHARE WITH US on how you use vanilla beans in your dessert. Some mystery gift is waiting for the BEST sharing comments. :D

Heyya!

Lots of fans and friends asking me how to get a dreamy texture of Choc Chip cookies.

Use 50% castor sugar and another 50% of brown sugar.

Sis, how to make meringue?

Dear fans,

So sorry coz I'm so busy with my daily stuff nowadays... (No excuse puhlizz! :p)

Ok ok... On this lucky day.. I wana share some tips on how making meringue ~

First of all, basic items that you need to make meringue:

a) A good mixer (hand mixer also good to go :D)

b) 5 egg whites

c) 130 grams of sugar

d) salt or cream of tartar

First of all, use a bowl which is a grease free.

Place your bowl with the egg whites in. Switch on your mixer (I use hand mixer)

to whip the egg whites. Make sure it is on medium speed. - Not too fast, not too slow!

Add in salt or cream of tartar. (it acts like a chemical agent to foam the egg whites)

After 3-5 minutes, the egg whites starts foamy. Add in your sugar.

Increase the speed to high speed to make the batter thicken even better.

It might takes for another 5-7 minutes.

It will form softpeak like this. (see the picture above)

Now, you can prepare a tray with a parchment paper.

Draw a circle line on the parchment paper and pour your meringue batter into that shape.

Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes on 150 degrees celcius.

You could enjoy this with your chocolate sauce or with your ice cream as the crumbs.

Try this at home!

Any enquiry, please post it on my blog wall yea..

Fresh Cream

Lots of people were asking me what is FRESH CREAM?
Easy.. beezie.. Fresh cream has two types : DAIRY and NON-Dairy cream

From my vocab (ha ha..), dairy is from whom manufactured pure milk or cheese while NON-Dairy are from palm-oil source.

Usually bakers will coat their cakes using the FRESH CREAM for their soft touch. U could add any flavour to it. You may add melted cooking choc for additional yummy flavour.

Here are some brands that you could refer to. :) ENJOY!
