After a long spell of playing with all inclusions and flavours for my traditional sourdoughs, I thought it was high time to try soft enriched loafs which my little girl favours. What better recipe to start with than her favourite sweet milk buns, the yeasted version is highly popular on this blog and can be…

Melt-in-the-mouth Peanut Cookies
This recipe, is soooo delicious and so easy, it really is a must-bake for CNY if you like peanuts. There are only 5 ingredients! I have used peanut butter to save all the trouble of roasting and blending peanuts. And certainly using a quality brand peanut butter that you already like, avoids potential risk of…
You Tiao (You Za Kueh/ Chinese donut)
This is a really simple recipe with short ingredient list and simple steps. I used both yeast and baking powder to avoid using large amounts of baking powder like other recipes which may lead to an aftertaste. Also double insurance in case one of them isn’t working 😅. You may also notice that my youtiaos…
Butter Cake (Genoise or Whole Egg Method)
I love to try all sorts of methods to make butter cakes, always in search of the best one to satisfy my never-ending butter cravings. Have tried creaming method, whole eggs, egg-separated, adding flour directly to butter (like cookies!), cooked dough, using melted butter etc. Many were enjoyable episodes and some had to be binned…
Choux Au Craquelin (脆皮泡芙)
Am so happy to have tried making this Choux Au Craquelin. Choux pastry is a nemesis of mine. Basically this is a puff with cookie dough topping (craquelin) and chocolate custard cream filling.

Also makes for a much lighter cake as it is partially frosted and uses whipping cream. Mine is flavoured with kaya, butter and coconut cream,…

Chocolate Cupcakes With Whipped Ganache
Converted a popular recipe to cupcakes and also used whipped ganache as topping. This is a delicious recipe, very choclatey and very fast and easy to make for a party. I have also baked this same recipe in two 6 inch round tins, stack them up, and used the same amount of ganache for a…
Butter Cookies
Tried a new buttter cookie recipe that retains the shape well and no long resting or chilling time required. Best part is the texture which is really crisp and crumbly very similar to Jenny’s. Just see the cross section of the crumb, how fine and airy it is. Couldn’t stop biting into them, and I…
Baked Churros
These are easy, yummy and healthier than fried ones. I first tried the recipe from bigger bolder baking, but mine turned out a little dense. After some adjustments by increasing eggs and temperature, I’m now very satisfied with these. Recipe (makes about 18) Churros 55g salted butter 1 tbsp sugar 110g water 70g plain flour…
