Cup cakes for birthday

Green Muffin....just now went PH shopping kekeke...bought kou fen and try out the instant lotus paste first, if successful i then make the effort to cook the lotus paste :p...btw how long u take to remove the whole skin of the lotus seed...i am asking my mil to search for skinless lotus seed for me, if cannot find i then use with skin one...
 


I knw the reason liao, i call up Phoon Huat to confirm the Flour is already fried, then she wan me to tell her the ingredient & portion i put, she say is correct. The MAIN REASON is i knead too long liao...Do snowskin must fast fast cannot slow slow. The longer i knead i will break the "Gen" inside the dough, will make it rough & break...will try again tonite...

i think depends on the amount. I was using 500g of lotus seed, it took me about one hour. But than again, that was my first time, so maybe not so skillful.. so took longer.. not sure if it's normal.. Btw, there are skinless ones (white lotus), but i heard the with skin ones (red lotus) is better. Because of the "wax" (sorry direct translation :p) that red lotus produce will make better paste.

i used cold ice cream soda.

Ladies,
What flour do u use to dust on the mould &amp; hand? Must steam the flour? TQ!

Btw, i bot the lotus paste from sunlik b4, not very sweet like outside selling. So it's gd. Save the hassle to self make the paste if u can make do w/o it.
 
<font color="0000ff">Peng</font>,
thanks. Not familiar with using colouring, so didn't put too much. Actually i put green colour too, but didn't come out :p

<font color="0000ff">mdl</font>,
i also bot some lotus paste from kwong cheong thye. Theirs is quite nice too. But i went abt two weeks before not so much flavour yet. Heard there are more now. How much is sunlik's lotus paste? KCT red lotus is $8.50 for 1kg. What other flavours do they hv?

Actually cooking of paste is also for the fun too...haha..
 
Green Muffin,

I went there on tues, bot 1kg each on
white lotus - $13 excld gst
Red lotus - $11 excld gst
So it's more exp lor =( came out of the shop $100+ poorer (sigh..)
Hear the two(sunik &amp; KCT) taste wise sama sama.

Ask for green tea favour &amp; was told not yet arrive
 
haha... oh ya, it almost blend in with my plate.

oh ya mdl, the flour for dusting.. If i didn't remember wrongly, AY did mentioned abt steaming some HK flour for dusting. But i was lazy, i just using kuo fen, since it can be eaten without steaming. But i also bought dusting flour from kct (as if i am making alot, but just for experience sake, not necessary) but have not try it yet.
 
<font color="0000ff">mdl</font>,
maybe quality different? Me too, i came out from KCT also like u, bgt $100++ of stuffs. I bought moulds, ingredients and boxes, mainly for mooncakes. But they also sell alot of things that i dun see elsewhere, so on impose bgt them.. :p
 
was still thinking about moon cake.....and u all ladies have already started working on it.....look so yummy.....the ice cream soda moon cake... Green Muffin....are u using the same recipe as n2inpink?
 
Green Muffin,
Sama sama la..everything looks nice just buy, dun know gotta use or not. Few items cld easily cost over $100. My blood pressure shoot up when seeing e $ figures on the cash machine keep increasing...kekeke
 
Ladies....apart from Phoon Huat to get those mook cake making ingredients...think u all mentioned......kwong cheong thye...where is it?...anywhere else?...

what flour to use for dusting the moon cake mold when making snow skin moon cake?
 
hahaha.. ya lor, actually baking is a very expensive hobby. Didn't realise until i picked up recently. The number of pans, trays, cookie moulds, mixer, etc etc ... that i bgt. Hubby said i can open bakery already. haha...

<font color="0000ff">peng</font>,
and shortly after logcake will be lunar new year goodies.. haha..

<font color="0000ff">kmk</font>,
not sure if Pink is using AY's recipe. I am using AY's recipe.

and KCT is located at: 61-63 lor 27, Geylang off sims ave, Tel: 6748 0128
 
wah.... a couple days never log in and so much fruits! Everyone talking about moon cake already ah? This is one thing I won't do as I know he work involved when you do it from scratch! Seen my mom slogging over the wok cooking the lotus paste for hours. Not my favourite food as well.. hehehe.

I tried to make the coffee buns instead using AY's recipe and it taste just like Mama Roti. My kids call it Mami Roti! hahahaha

Nice dishes there. Makes me want to cook wanton mee too! Also, I managed to get my muffins texture correct finally!!!! Tks.

1-0,
Hope the recipe turns out good.

Yany,
I love coffee. Must find time to try this coffee buns recipe soon.
 
joanne,
U manange to make the snow skin without the wheat starch??? Any difference in texture or taste. I am thinking whether i can skip buying the flour... too mnay flour in my fridge liao.
 
B2B3M4, i find the texture still soft &amp; nice even without the wheat starch. This is the recipe i use for my mooncake, i add in green colouring myself.

Ingredients for snowskin
150g commercial koh flour
130g icing sugar
50g shorterning
50ml milk
180ml iced water

Method :

1) To make snowskin, sift dry ingredients (flour and icing sugar) into a bowl. Add in the rest of ingredients and combine well. Scale at 25g per portion, shape into rounds.

2)Flatten the snowskin, wrap in the filling seal properly. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.

3)Place into a mould dusted with koh flour, press firmly. Dislodge imprinted mooncake from mould.

4)Chill in fridge for at least 20 minutes before serving. Advisable, for 1 hour

My portion is 25g dough to 30g filling.
