Ah! My very first attempt in baking. I still need a lot of practice. And I should really read more about baking too. I'm soooo blur with the terms used in baking and sometimes I just don't understand how a certain mixture should be like. I think I don't only need a lot of practice, I need a teacher too!I'm still sharing the recipe because I don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just my baking skills. LOL And this was one of the simplest recipes I found and one that I understand!
Ingredients:
- 50g Butter
- 30g Shortening
- 60g Confectioners' Sugar aka Icing Sugar

Hi Wokkingmum,
ReplyDeleteI'm a Singaporean (also wokking mon) living in the US. I was searching for lunch box ideas (school starting soon) and was linked here from Lunch in a box. There are so many recipes in your blog that I would like to try to make. Miss Singapore food...
Hi Jean!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to my blog. I've been to Lunch in a box not too long ago. She is very creative!
You miss Singapore food then you must try Hainanese Chicken http://wokkingmum.blogspot.com/2007/05/hainanese-chicken-rice.htmlRice and Laksa http://wokkingmum.blogspot.com/2007/06/laksa.html
They may not be as good as what you have eaten in Singapore but at least they can let you have a taste of the Singapore food you missed. Hopefully, you are able to get the ingredients needed in the US.
Hope to 'see' you again soon. Cheers!

what is shortening huh?
ReplyDeleteVyvy,
ReplyDeleteShortening is hydrogenated vegetable oil, 100% fat. Pastry using shortening will be more flaky. You can always use butter if you dont want to buy shortening.
