Kek Pisang Sempoi?

Asalamualaikum...Selamat Hari Ibu ..to all mothers..in this world...a belated one..

Make this cake yesterday..namanya Sempoi...mmg lah sempoi ..got the recipe from blog MasamManis..and Azlita pun got it from satu web lain lupa pulak apa dia..nanti saya cek semula...make this cake sbb ada byk pisang Berangan bergolek golek kat

dapur saya...surf sana sini for the recipe.. terminat pulak nak buat yg 'Sempoi' ni..plus my butter stock dah habih cuma ada minyak jagung je..so jadilah Kek Pisang Sempoi ni....

And again saya modified cikit dari tuan punya resepi utk megikut perkara-perkara yg sewaktu dengannya he he he...

here's the very very lah simple recipe and methods :

• 150gm pisang (di lecek) kalau pisang berangan >< 2 biji..I used extra 2 sbb byk stock
• 180gm self raising flour(sifted) ..original recipe guna tepung gandun biasa( 1ts bp + 1 ts bs)
• 180gm icing sugar(sifted)... I used 150 gm pun still sweeeet
• 3 eggs
• 120 ml corn oil
• 1ts ovalette
• 3/4 ts baking soda original recipe guna 1 ts, saya kurangkan sbb x suka flav bs tu
• pinch of salt

Method ;- 

Panaskan oven 180c.

Masukkan semua bahan di dalam satu bekas, then pukul/ kacau dgn mixer sehingga

adunan menjadi putih.

the extra 2 bji pisang tu saya.. chopped saja dan gaul rata pada adunan sebelum di bakar.

Masuk kedalam tin pembakar yg sudah di gris dgn butter/ minyak dan di alas dgn parchment paper.

Bakar 40 to 50 minit ..bergantung pada oven masing2 atau hingga kek masak.

Experimenting the Vanillekipferl

Salam...buat experiment lagi...found the recipe kat blog Bisous A Toi..http://www.bisousatoi.com/2010/12/happy-holidays-and-vanillekipferl.html.teruja nak buat sbb a bit different from other cookies plus I still have almond meals in my stocks...balance from the 'Macaron Experiment'.
This one is a bit different sbb the vanilla was added only in the icing sugar, plus rupa dia yg macam kuih makmur tu puuun dah buat saya termeleleh air liur..

I followed  Rima's recipe exactly...the taste ok..my sister pun suka but next trip I make this cookie I have to derhaka sikit( ha ha Cik Mat Gebu fav words) with Rima's recipe...bcoz ada yg x boleh accept the vanilla flav kat icing sugar tu...so I will have to add the vanilin in the dough instead. TQ Rima...for sharing the recipe ...really love to surf ur blog!! Will try your Lapis Howflakes Orange  pulak nanti!!

 put the recipe here for my future reference..

250 g butter ( I used Anchor salted)

2 tbs milk powder

1/2 tsp baking powder

225 g cake flour

225 g almond powder

1/2 ts vanillin

200g icing sugar (sifted)

• Preheat oven to 160 C
• Grease baking pan with butter/ margarine
• Beat butter, milk powder & baking powder until smooth
• Add in almond powder , flour and vanillin, stir well until dough is good enough to shape
• Bake for 20 minutes, lift it immediately while it's hot and roll into the icing sugar.

saya tambah sesudu coloured sugar (pink)kat icing sugar .. just to add some colour to the cookies.
