Peanut Butter Brownie

Very quick and easy, if you have a sudden dessert craving, you can get this out under 2 hours. No special raising agents other than eggs, which I beat in real well. The combination of dark chocolate and savoury peanut butter is a winner. Recipe ( adapted from katiebirdbakes, 8″ by 8″ square tin) 110g…

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…

Chocolate Lava Cake

A really quick and easy recipe you won’t regret making. The taste is decadent and rich and a huge success with my kids. I adapted and baked using my muffin tray, since I don’t have ramekins. The key is to monitor the baking really closely as baking time is short. If you over baked this,…
