Dairy Cream Wholemeal Buns (straight dough)

A basic bun but with wholemeal added. Buns are easy to make and just as versatile as loafs. Here’s what we had this morning and my girl is just happy to drizzle with snow powder. This recipe uses dairy cream which makes it easy to handle and very tasty. Especially good if you are trying…

Zebra Cake – Pandan and Gula Melaka

“Microwave” Bread

Here’s a nice recipe to try! Dough is so elastic and pliable, it’s like plasticine, no flouring needed. It uses 2 method to make the dough soft, sponge dough and just plain o folding.

Honey Dairy Cream Wholemeal Bread (straight dough)

This recipe is adapted from Princess Linda, very humorous blogger, love her recipes. It’s very sticky and wet, plus I added wholemeal flour, so really not easy to handle, flour everything.

Original recipe…

This is a super easy recipe, guarantee to be a favourite with the kids. It’s a basic cookie, not chewie like subways, and definitely not melt in the mouth. But it’s really crunchy old school cookie. When first baked, it’s a little soft and will hardened when cooled. If you like this shaggy look, there’s…
