Wow so fast use cookie cutters! Maybe I do the rabbit cookies for CNY
since its the year of the rabbit, that is if i find the time do to so.

I see at NTUC the SCS butter selling for 9.40 for a pack of 3. What's
the pricing for the SCS butter you ladies are buying since I see s
omewhere in the thread got order for SCS butter.

Jandew: Nice Choc and Milk agar agar. Reminds me of my childhood years
when I ate Choc agar agar back then. Flour for baking, I anyhow buy any type
but I notice KCT flour (HK Kao Fen) is better for mooncake skin compared to other
brand ones.

It's time to order my favourite cocoa powder. Used up 2 packets, 3rd packet
probably expired by now.
 
Jandew: It's called Casino Dēlices. I got them in france 2-3 years ago. 100% COCOA powder and
I have to say it is better than varlhona. Price wise, I don't know because my mum bought for
me on my behalf cos she was in another part of france.

Going to see if I can get them or not
 
Hi Mummies, I am looking for a dome shaped baking cake tin to bake a doll cake for my girl bday. Anybody noe where to find and roughly how much is it?

Katherine,
I usually use whole egg method too. I beat egg and sugar til the mixture when drip imprint is very visible and the mixture on the beater when held up form a long line before dripping back into the mixture. Then I pour flour and beat at low speed for 5 second and then use spoon to fold in. Tink once your egg and sugar mixture stabllise or have the correct stiffness, it shld not deflate too easily. Hope it helps.

Maggie I think chestnut puree not easy to make raw...maybe u can go google for a recipe, perhaps have to simmer and stir for few hours over slow fire.

Sweet Chestnut Purée Recipe

Ingredients:

* 12 oz (2 cups) chestnuts, roasted and peeled
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 cups water
* 1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, combine chestnuts,sugar and water, bringing the liquid to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 25-35 minutes, until the majority of the liquid has evaporated.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
4. Strain chestnuts, reserving sugar syrup, and transfer to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add in syrup slowly until desired consistency is obtained. Allow to cool before refrigerating.

This recipe makes approximately two cups. Sweet chestnut purée can be refrigerated for up to two weeks and can be frozen for up to a year. Chestnut purée can be used to create delicious desserts such as a chestnut chocolate mousse, layered between layers of sponge cake or swirled into ice-cream.


And this too..

How to Make Chestnut Puree - Ang Moh 1 no sugar one.

Ingredients:
12 chestnuts (boiled and peeled)
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water

Directions:
1. Place every thing in a small sauce pan. (The liquid should just cover the chestnuts.)
2. Simmer the chestnuts until soft, about 10-20 minutes. (Watch them as milk can quickly boil over the side of a pan.)
3. Scoop the chestnuts out of the liquid, reserving the liquid.
4. Puree the chestnuts using as much of the reserved liquid as required.
 
Hi Maggie
Are you using fresh chestnuts? It takes quite some time to be soft unless got pressure cooker. Sometimes when my mum cook 'tao you bak' and the chestnuts still hard, yucks!
 
I roasted the chestnuts with coffee beans using frying in the wok first... peel of skin awaiting the searching of recipe for purreee first.. if I still cant find will just anyhow chop up then mix with whipped cream bah.. the deco the cake just like that lor..
 
Maggie: 22/23rd jan huh? I have a friend coming in from overseas on these days - so cannot make it.

Jandew: Ya for a while. Going to get busy again in a few days time
