Recipe: Pineapple Tart WITHOUT pineapple jam

Last year, a few weeks before Chinese New Year, I have made a few rounds of pineapple tarts. Friends and kids fell in love with those tarts!

However kids would rather eat it without the pineapple jam.

So sweethearts, these are especially made for you!

• 250g unsalted butter (I love SCS butter)
• 50g icing sugar
• 1 egg york
• 280g sifted superfine cake flour
• 80g sifted corn flour
• 2 tbsp sifted custard powder

*Add all and mix well with hands.

*1 egg york (brush a layer of egg york in the middle of each tart)
Bake for 10-15 mins, 180 Celsius.

Recipe: Crispy Oatmeal Cookies

I found this to be the best modified oatmeal cookies so far. 

I have replaced the all purpose flour with cake flour for the extra crunchiness!!!

I am going on half portion each round and also bake only half of it ... the balance can be kept fresh in the fridge for 4 days.

Children enjoyed weighing and sifting the flour, cracking egg, beating and mixing all the ingredients....they have had fun and joy assisting me, the chef in command!

The unforgettable and exciting moments always come from the three little angels . They would unexpectedly, giving good comments and praising on the piece of cookie that they are chewing on.... their praises are so sincere and generous.

there and then, I am floating in the air...
