Pao de Queijo (Brazilian Cheese Bread)
Some of you might know, this my third attempt at Pao de Queijo, otherwise known as Brazilian Cheese Bread. I was taken to this because I was intrigued by how it uses tapioca flour instead of wheat flour. Lucky for me, tapioca flour, also known as tapioca starch, is widely available here in Singapore. Also [...]

Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins
I bought two boxes (125g) of blueberries from Cold Storage the other day thinking I would make some blueberry muffins using real fruits this time, unlike that last and only time I made stuff out of a box. Also, I recently read a blog post by Happy Home Baking about berry muffins, and the recipe [...]

Homemade Lasagna
I haven’t fired up the oven for some time, but since I’m not too keen on making sugary things, I decided to try my hands at making lasagna. Being the overachiever-wannabe that I am, I decided to also make my own lasagna pasta sheets instead of buying premade from the store. This dish is completely [...]

Betty Crocker Pouch Triple Berry Muffin Mix
I haven’t fired up the oven enough recently, and so I was at the supermarket with my sis and we decided to buy this instant muffin mix as a joint activity with the little niece. The Betty Crocker Pouch series has smaller portions, and we chose the Triple Berry muffin which just requires us to [...]

Cheese and sausage bread
Just a short post to convince myself that I need to get out of the baking rut – I made cheese and sausage bread together with my niece. I designed it and built it while she embellished it. The cheese is cheddar by the way. I never knew shredded cheddar can be so tasty baked; [...]

Croissant Attempt 2
Let’s face it, making croissant in 31°C Singapore weather is tantamous to sticking up a rolling pin up a certain rear orifice. When the recipe called for me to beat and soften the butter, I was close to making some kind of silent prayer that the butter is not boiling in my hands. It’s moments [...]

First Bake of 2010: Bread Cones
The first bake of 2009 was also some sort of bread, cinnamon rolls to be exact. Maybe I can make a habit out of this, making bread within the first week of the new year. This time round I made bread cones – cone-shaped bread. I came across a recipe from Home Cooking In Montana [...]

Devil Brownies
Last bake of 2009 – unabashedly Devil’s Brownies. This is also known as the if-you-haven’t-lost-your-voice-and-gain-2-pounds-at-Christmas-and-you-need-help brownies. If there is anything with that sinful amount of sugar, chocolate and butter and yet is still good for your soul, this has got to be it. It should have been a Christmas bake, something so warm and fuzzy. [...]

Chocolate Tangyuan
It was the Chinese Winter Solstice (冬至，dongzhi) on the 22nd. I procrastinated making tangyuan (glutinous riceballs) until today. Shame on me, but it was fun. Instead of the plain ones and the ones commonly filled with either black sesame, peanut or red bean, I decided to fill mine with chocolate for the festive spirit. You [...]
