Pumpkin Pie Cupcake


No, it is not a tomato. It supposed to look like pumpkin but I misplaced my red coloring. A combination on red and orange will make the pumpkin skin color. More to come. Watch up for more photos and recipe.

Apam Gula Hangus


People, I have gone beyond my comfort zone. I made Apam Gula Hangus. Found the recipe here. It was soft and fluffy. I made them into a bite-size. Got 24 pieces and with some leftover batter since I do not have time to cook them. MySarah dah mengamuk.

Ingredients:

  • 2 egss
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp of butter (original recipe uses magarine)
  • 2 tbsp condensed milk
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cup of flour
Instructions:

Heat up the sugar until it turns brownish, take great care not to burn the sugar, add water and stir until all the browned sugar dissolved and caramelized. Leave it too cool.

Put eggs, vegetable oil, butter, condensed milk into food processor or blender, mix it well for 3 minutes. Add the caramelized sugar and baking soda into the mixture and mix again.

Finally, add flour and mix it well again.

Grease a muffin tray and put the batter about 1/2 full. Put into steamer and steam about 20 minute. The time depends on the size of the Apam. If it is one large tray, it takes longer to cook (about 45 min). Please refer to the original recipe.
